LA Streetsblog Chat with Author and Cyclist Erik Knutzen
Erik Knutzen and Kelly Coyne write the blog Homegrown Evolution, chronicling their adventures as urban gardeners and farmers. Kelly and Erik recently released their first book The Urban Homestead from Process Media. Last Friday, Erik, who is also a board member of the Los Angeles County Bike Coalition, sat down with me in their garden to talk about their new book and sustainable transportation. The part of the interview about transportation appears here. The part about urban gardening is at Emerald City. If you’re interested in getting your own copy of Urban Homestead make sure to order it at Homegrown Evolution.
