Rev Up Your Labor Day Weekend

The Ride -KPCC’s The Ride is all about modern mobility. If it moves, if you can ride in it, or on it, we’re talking about it. From radical ideas, like designing cities for people rather than cars, to exploring how our identities got so entwined with our mode of transportation and the pure joy of getting on something and going fast, The Ride takes you there in style. Come along for a ride on a custom motorbike with actor Keanu Reeves, explore our relationship with personal space on public transit, and much more.

This hour-long exploration of mobility is available now and makes a great addition to your Labor Day weekend lineup. This special edition of KPCC’s The Ride includes a billboard and promo spots.

Motor journalist Susan Carpenter (LA Times, OC Register) brings her decades of expertise and unique sensibility to The Ride as we search for the balance between our love affair with moving and the social and environmental impact of our wanderlust.

Comic Alonzo Bodden owns seven motorcycles and is pretty much nuts about anything with pistons, cams and gears. Known to audiences for his Showtime specials and appearances on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!, he got his start working in aerospace and has a keen understanding of the arcane world of machining and manufacturing. Plus, he’s really funny.
