I host the Streets.mn Podcast, which is all about transportation and land use issues in Minnesota. Lots of stories about bikes, transit, and housing density to cover!
Haven't been there yet! I accidentally hear a lot about the Green Line extension, because we also have a Green Line extension under construction in the Twin Cities.
Not yet, the link in the post goes to the preorder Kickstarter.
Podcast episode: A Warm Welcome to Warmshowers
There are people who travel long distances by bike, and there are people who are willing to open their homes to those traveling by bike.

Cory Doctorow jumping into solar punk!
I've really enjoyed his novels that grapple with how we can make computer technology work for us rather than for large corporations. His next book, The Lost Cause, is being called "the first great YIMBY novel," a solarpunk look at a post Green New Deal society.
