Shifter

Shifter, hosted by author‑journalist Tom Babin, focuses on urban cycling and bike commuting. Videos combine practical how‑to and gear advice for city riders (commuting technique, clothing, gift/gear guides) with reporting and analysis of urban bicycle infrastructure and policy (safe intersections, incentives, city case studies, and barriers to biking). The channel also includes first‑person experiences and lessons from riding in multiple cities.
