Through the stories of Bikes 4 Life in West Oakland, El Colectivelo in East Oakland, and Waterside Workshops in West Berkeley, Terra Verde uncovers the many layers of non-profit bike-based empowerment projects. The guests, Tony Coleman, Morgan Kanninen, Charlie Patterson, and Eric Delesbore, teach others about riding, fixing, and building bicycles, while providing them with great deals, guidance, and inspiration.
