Cycling in Suburbia with Chris Wharton

In episode two I interview Chris Wharton. Chris and his family live in Gilbert, Arizona--a suburb in the sprawling Phoenix metropolitan area. A few years ago he sold their second car and began incorporating more utilitarian cycling into his everyday life. We touch on a variety of topics including: How and why they became a one-car family How he travels with his two kids by bike How he has fostered a love of cycling in his children The biggest challenges of being a one-car family in Phoenix How he survives biking in extreme weather conditions Recommendations for family's considering incorporating more active transportation in their lives Chris brings an interesting perspective as a professor at Arizona State University who studies behavior change, healthy defaults, and voluntary simplicity. If you want to read or hear more from him, you can follow his blog Practically Awesome or listen to the personal finance podcast Matrimoney he hosts with his wife, Kelsey.
