He Bikes to Work Every Day in Tampa | Casey Bauer on Spoke Stories Kickoff 🚲 🎤

Welcome to Spoke Stories — the podcast where we ride through Tampa with the people shaping its future.

In this kickoff episode, we join Casey Bauer, Planning & Research Manager at the Tampa Downtown Partnership, on his real-life morning bike commute from Gas Worx to downtown. Casey bikes to work nearly every day - and in this episode, we talk about why that’s not as crazy as it sounds (even in the Florida heat).

What’s inside:
• How short commutes by bike can change your relationship with the city
• Tips for riding in the Florida summer without showing up sweaty
• What the Gas Worx development means for Tampa
• Why we created Spoke Stories — and what’s coming next

Spoke Stories is created in partnership with:
• That’s So Tampa – your go-to source for Tampa food, events, and culture
• Pedal Power Promoters – helping cities become safer and more bike-friendly
• Tampa Downtown Partnership – driving urban planning, mobility, and activation in downtown Tampa
• EMOTO Supply Co. – Tampa’s lifestyle destination for electric bikes, apparel, and accessories
