In this episode of Cycling Over Sixty, host Tom Butler shares his recent dietary journey, giving a view of the ups and downs of his nutrition evolution and examining why his previous meal planning program didn't deliver the results he'd hoped for.
Then, Tom welcomes Larry Leveen, Executive Director of ForeverGreen Trails and a true force in the active transportation movement. Larry pulls back the curtain on the complex world of infrastructure advocacy, revealing the patience, persistence, and strategic thinking required to create safe spaces for cycling and walking in our communities. From navigating bureaucratic hurdles to building coalitions, Larry shares the realities of what it takes—sometimes years of effort—to transform a vision for safer streets into concrete reality.
Whether you're interested in fueling your body better for health or understanding the vital advocacy work that creates the paths you love to ride, this conversation delivers insights from two perspectives on making cycling more accessible and enjoyable.
Perfect for anyone who has ever wondered about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating the trails and bike lanes we often take for granted, or anyone looking to make positive changes in their own cycling lifestyle.
