Sensible, yet Adventurous

Sensible, yet Adventurous

My dream as a young man was to work in radio. I did that through college and then.....abandoned the dream. Instead I ended up spending the majority of my working life in the bicycle business. In this podcast I cover some of my opinions on bicycles, travels that I've embarked on over the years, various adventures (and misadventures) and hopefully talk to some interesting people along the way.

I'm  sleep deprived, and honestly a little grumpy from hearing my neighbors celebrate our Nations Independence. 
I revisit riding in normal clothes, our new "hands free" law and what I'm currently reading.

The Micro Dose is a weekly upload.  This episode focuses on my hesitance to do more bike reviews.  This started as a video only show a couple of months ago.  I will upload the audio when I think it makes sense.

In this episode I talk about doing your part for the environment, RAGBRAI, The Cannibal, and just how confused are our friends at the DOT?  A word of warning.  I do use a few naughty words in this episode.

John is a advocate for neighborhoods, and also an accomplished cycle tourist.  He was kind enough to come in and talk about his experiences.  It's a good chat.
