Why do we bike? It's a question Reconnect Rochester will explore at an upcoming Rochester Street Films event.

We preview that with a conversation about the ways we benefit, both personally and as a society, when more people use cycling as a means of transportation. We also talk about how to build better bike infrastructure in Rochester. Our guests:

  • Justin Booth, executive director of GObike Buffalo
  • Scott MacRae, M.D., advisor for Reconnect Rochester, and community bike advocate
  • Karen Rogers, owner and trainer at Exercise Express, LLC
  • Rashad Smith, active transportation communications consultant
