In this week’s episode of Sustainable Idaho, co-host Holly Wilson sits down with Richard Roberts, founder of Bicycles for Recovery, a grassroots nonprofit in Pocatello that’s helping members of our community rebuild their lives one bike at a time.

Drawing from his personal experience, Richard shares how a simple bicycle can become a lifeline for those in recovery, individuals re-entering the workforce, and families experiencing homelessness. Through community donations, partnerships with local agencies, and a growing network of volunteers, Bicycles for Recovery is giving people more than transportation; it's giving them momentum, dignity, and a path forward.
