Our conversation with Lori Newton and Dave Sands. Newton is the executive director of Bike Windsor Essex. Sands is a journalist for Mode Shift who's been covering cross-border biking issues since 2012.

As more and more people turn to bicycles for transportation, fun and fitness, one might think it would be great to be able to bike between Detroit and Windsor.

Once upon a time, that was possible. But no more.

Cyclists on social media write of being able to ride, even walk across the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor and back.

But after Matty Maroun bought the Ambassador Bridge, the bike and pedestrian walkway was replaced by wider lanes to better handle 18-wheelers.

Lori Newton and Dave Sands, both veterans of the cycling scene in Windsor and Detroit, joined us today to discuss what's left for cyclists and what it might take to improve prospects for cross-border biking between the cities.
