What started with 60 pedal bikes has become one of the most heart-warming success stories in Colorado Springs. PikeRide isn’t just about e-bikes. It’s about connection.

In this episode, Carly sits down with Tara McCarthy from PikeRide to talk about how the city’s bike-share program has exploded across Colorado Springs and Manitou, growing from a visitor amenity into a life-changing community service. From helping a man rebuild his life and reconnect with his daughters to giving a 72-year-old daily independence, PikeRide is quietly transforming lives one ride at a time.

You’ll laugh at the story of a late-night “ride to Pueblo” gone wrong, tear up at the impact stories, and leave feeling proud of what community can do when it gets rolling.

Tune in for local love, big heart, and a reminder that sometimes, a simple bike can take you exactly where you need to go.
