Summary

In today's episode, Laura and Sarah open with a discussion of their own family biking habits. Then, attorney and DC-dweller Sonja Ralston joins Sarah to share her story of how their family got into cargo biking - a way to avoid parking woes, lower the family's carbon footprint, build in some outdoor time every day, get in some daily movement, and more.
