It’s been a while, but Bike Shop Society is back on the saddle. In this episode, Joe is joined at the bike shop by a friend of the shop and podcast fan, Joe Torres. It’s been a busy year, and the two Joes haven’t had much time to catch up during the season. Listen as they reminisce about the early days of the bike shop and some of the young people who have come and gone over the years. Later in the podcast, we learn that Joe Torres has a side hustle as a basement mechanic—find out how he got started and what he thinks of vintage Schwinn bicycles. Finally, the pandemic introduced a whole new group of people to the sport of cycling. What does this mean for the future of the bike shop, and why is it such an interesting time to be in the business? So settle in and let us pour you a cup of Joe!
