Where are your two wheels taking you?

The pandemic ushered in a bike boom that has more people riding their bikes now than any time in the past few decades. Today on Now or Never, Ify and Trevor trade in office chairs for bike seats to discover the big moments people are facing on two wheels — whether they're riding bicycles, motorcycles, boda bodas or pedal-less mobility aids.

How do you transport 30-foot ladders, table saws, and cans of paint to a construction site? Trevor joins Velo Renovation in Winnipeg to see how they use their bikes to get it done.

When Ceilidh Corcoran, who lives with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, got a bright yellow Alinker (a pedal-less walking bike) she had no clue just how much it would change her life.

Witnessing a motorbike accident as a child in Kampala, Uganda, left Mimi Ware wary of getting back on a boda boda. Now that she is back in Uganda, Mimi is finding new inspiration and purpose in these fast motorbikes.
