Featured in this episode: Dr. Edda Bild, postdoctoral fellow at McGill University and lead soundscape researcher for Sounds in the City. Jason Slaughter, creator of the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes. Brent Toderian, city planner and urbanist at TODERIAN UrbanWORKS.

Correction: A previous edition said that British Columbia was the only province to offer rebates on electric bikes. In fact, BC, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Yukon offer rebates on the purchase of electric bikes.
We regret the error.
