This week Damien Talks to Jim Brown, executive director of Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, known locally as SABA.

SABA has an out-sized role as they not only have to advocate for safe and attractive bicycle conditions in Sacramento; but are also the most visible advocates to many a Caltrans engineer, Assemblymember or Sentator, or executive staff with the Governor’s office. In fact, our call last week occurred moments after the end of a bike ride with the head of Caltrans.

Also, Jim is like an encyclopedia on bike policy, so this broadcast is extra-fun.
