On today's episode of Architectette we welcome Cori Callahan, the Program Director of Bike & Build. 

Bike & Build pairs a cross-country bicycle trip with efforts to combat issues related to affordable housing and has been a thriving institution for 20 years with over 255,000 volunteer hours, 4000 participants, and 11 million miles biked. Sadly, summer 2023 will mark the non-profit’s final two rides. 

We talk about:  

- The structure of the Bike & Build program

- Typical participants

- How the program tackles education and action to improve access to affordable housing

- The impact of the program on communities nationwide and the impact on participants

- The reason for the program’s end

- How you can support the 2023 riders!
