163 - How Cargo Biking Could Change Your Life with CargoBikeMomma (Maddy Novich)
What does it actually take to raise a family in New York City with zero cars and 100% pedal power? Ever wondered what it's really like to navigate school drop-offs, grocery runs, and daily life in New York City entirely by bike? This week, we're joined by Maddie Novich—better known to her viral community as @cargobikemomma . Maddie shares how swapping four wheels for a cargo bike transformed her family's daily routine, physical health, and connection to the city. We dig into the real environmental and mental health perks of micro-mobility, the stark realities of navigating NYC's bike network, and why safe, protected infrastructure is critical for families on the go. Stick around for the second half, where the conversation takes an unexpected turn: Maddie shares her fascinating background in criminal justice, what stopped her from joining the CIA, and life as a professor—which naturally spirals into an unfiltered chat with Jenn about her obsession with true crime.
