If you’ve ever wondered, “why are bicycles usually not allowed in cemeteries?” you’re likely in the minority. Lucky for you, I answered this question for WBEZ’s Curious City! Luckier for everyone else: The answer is, in fact, interesting, because it has less to do with bikes, and more to do with Americans’ attitudes about death and mourning. But these attitudes are changing.

I was both the reporter and producer for this story.
