Podcast Overview

Cities in Motion is a podcast about what it’s really like to get around — walking, biking, riding transit, or living with fewer cars. We talk sidewalks that vanish, stadiums you can’t walk to, “paint-only” bike lanes, and cities where transit works like magic (plus the ones where it doesn’t). Each episode asks how the design of a city affects real life — our time, stress, safety, money, and independence. We celebrate places that get it right, call out places that don’t, and imagine what it would look like if moving through a city felt easy again. Join us as we explore cities built for people

Ep 23 | Inside Austin's Yellow Bike Project with Marcelina Gray

<p>Since 1997, Austin's Yellow Bike Project has been turning donated and discarded bicycles into transportation, independence, and community for thousands of Central Texans. Run entirely by volunteers operating as a consensus-based collective, the nonprofit teaches anyone who walks through their Webberville Road shop how to fix their own bike — no repair experience required.</p><p>In this episode, I talk with Marcelina Gray, Yellow Bike Project's Communications and Outreach Director, about how the shop's Earn-a-Bike and Get a Free Bike programs work, how they partner with organizations like Caritas, Integral Care, and Refugee Services to get bikes to people who need them most, and why bike access matters in a city where car dependency shapes so much of daily life. We also get into what it takes to run a nonprofit by full volunteer consensus, and what almost three decades of community bike work has taught the organization about Austin itself.</p><p></p><p><br /></p>
