w/ Jesse Abbruzzese

SEASON 4 / EPISODE 2: Jesse Abbruzzese joined me on a beautiful day in February to chat bike stories, and when you sit down with the “Director of Music and Entertainment” for the Portland (Maine) Bike Party, you know it’s going to be a fun conversation. We start with his early years in Illinois, recounting the thrills and injuries associated with an adventurous childhood in the country. As he rode into early adulthood, there were tornados, parties in corn fields, bikes flying off car racks, and plans for bigger things including a sculpting apprenticeship with an artist named Timeless. And as his creative endeavors began to overlap with riding bikes, we learn where Jesse finally found his passion for all things bike party and how he found his place with the growing crew of like-minded riders in Portland, Maine.
