South Lake Tahoe resident, Nick Speal, doesn’t own a car, relying on biking and public transit to get around. That includes in the winter when he depends on a certain service to utilize those two transportation modes.
“In both cases, I need those multi-use trails to be clear,” Speal said, President of the Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition, an organization promoting bicycling and bike infrastructure—all year long. That means advocating for cleared paths in the winter, which is especially essential for those who rely on public transit to safely get to bus stops.
