Join us as we speak with Mike Merritt, owner of Siren Skate Shop and advocate with Bike Norfolk. Mike talks about starting the skate shop in Norfolk after retiring from the US Navy. He discusses the shop's offerings of skateboards, bikes, scooters and roller skates, and how they survived supply chain issues during COVID.

Mike also shares his work with Bike Norfolk, advocating for more bicycle infrastructure in the city of Norfolk. He discusses the current biking conditions, priority projects like protected bike lanes on Granby St, and the importance of bikes for issues like climate change, safety, and transportation equity.

Mike encourages everyone to get out and ride more in Norfolk! Whether you're a casual rider or need a repair, he invites you to connect with the local cycling community.
