For our first live episode, The War on Cars heads to Denver, Colorado to check in on the Mile High City's battle against automobile dominance. From the announcement that the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will install 125 miles of bike lanes by 2023 to the recent closure of B-cycle, the city's bicycle sharing system, it's been a year of good news and bad for Denverites. And there's no one better to comment on the news than our guest, Kyle Clark, the host of "Next with Kyle Clark" on Denver's 9 News. When Kyle, in a forceful on-air editorial, pushed back against a bout of NIMBYism in his own backyard, the clip swept the Twitterverse and brought the issue of bike-friendly streets to a general television audience. Kyle joins us to talk about the role TV news plays in the fight for a better city and how people waging their own war on cars can work with, not against, reporters.

Recorded February 10th, 2020 at the Moving People Forward Conference in Denver, Colorado presented by Bicycle Colorado.
