The Coyote’s Bicycle: The Untold Story of 7000 Bicycles and a Borderland Empire

FEATURING KIMBALL TAYLOR – The US-Mexico border is nearly 2000 miles long and is one of the most politicized borders in the world – a crossing point for millions of people over the past decades. Donald Trump has made it a major part of his political platform to build an 8-billion wall between the two countries. But while there is serious economic inequality people will continue to cross the border any way they can.

My guest Kimball Taylor has written a book that reads like fiction about a creative enterprise to help migrants cross the border that involved thousands of bicycles and a millions of dollars.
