Bike Talk with Dave: All things bike! Bikepacking, cyclocross, gravel, mountain bike, road & events Dave Mable

Recently, Cade popped into my life for a minute, thanks to a friend having a birthday party and Matt Zimmer bringing his teammate to said party on an e-bike. "It was a rest day,,," Cade is one of many weapons on the formidable Project Echelon Cycling Team and at a recent weekend of racing along the Mississippi River, Cade took 3/4 wins, throwing down 1700+ watts in the process. It was a good time to have the multi-time national champion on. Follow Cade on instagram, facebook by searching for his handle: cbikemore. https://www.instagram.com/cbikemore/

I thought I'd send out Bike Month by joining some friends on a 100-mile singlespeed cruiser ride (full disclosure: I couldn't spend the whole day riding, so I joined in for a pile of miles in the morning!). In the spirit of Bike Month, I brought along Mr. Microphone and asked people what cycling has give them, but the episode begins with the swearing in of the Nut Checking Crew - vital to the success of this ride. We close out the show with an impromptu recording of a good cycling friend's daughter, Lauren Igou, who was playing at Captain Roy's, the final trailside bar of the 100-mile ride. I hope you enjoy my conversations with cyclists from around the Midwest on what cycling as brought to their lives (and we ask about their bikes too!).

Several months ago I got an email from a guy in Lacross Wisconsin - James Longhurst. He asked if I’d like to read his book on the history of bicycles sharing the American road. It's called Bike Battles. Recently, he was kind enough to carve out some time during finals week at UW-LaCross, to discuss his book Bike Battles: A History of Sharing The American Road.
Thanks to James for sharing his book with us today - I really enjoyed it - and I also really enjoyed diving deeper into it with James - and I would encourage you to as well! It’s available at the University of Washington Press at www.washington.edu/uspress If you have any interest in the history of the bike in America - this is a great book! And also remember if you want to discover some incredible gravel riding in the driftless region, which includes southwest Wisconsin around LaCrosse, as well as parts of Minnesota and Iowa, just go to driftlesscycling.com.

Kate Strom, a passionate mountain biker and talented graphic designer found a way to combine the two as a custom cycling apparel designer. After working for a small custom kit company for a few years, ventured off to start her own company with a conscience: Radical Custom Cycling Apparel. Her goal: Good looking, great fitting and performing cycling clothing that is easy for the customer, affordable and environmentally friendly. What she's come up with is a no-minimum (correct... no minimum), ordered and shipped by and too each team member (no more boxes of kits on the living room floor... IYKYK), made of recycled materials all with the creative designs of a seasoned pro! Aside from following on Facebook and Instagram @radicalcustomcycling also browse the website for all the options and to connect with Kate; www.radicalcustomcycling.com

While we should be celebrating moms 365.25 days per year, we do have one day we set aside to really recognize how awesome moms are. And cycling moms - they're like regular moms, only better! So what better than to, not only invite some awesome cyclists who are also awesome moms, but also invite another awesome mom cyclist and journalist to lead the discussion? What we've got here is gravel pro Marisa Boaz, ultra cyclist Deanne Herr and my own partner in this game of life, Dee Mable all together with the interview being led by a talented cyclist, mom and local news anchor (She's a pretty big deal) Lisa Carponelli. It was an honor to be in the room with the four of them! I really just tried to shut up and listen (but they did pull me into the conversation now and again!). I'd also like to thank Velorosa Women's Cycling Clothing for offering a quiet place for us to meet. Check out the full line of beautiful women's cycling clothing at www.velorosacycling.com

Matt Zimmer, Project Echelon rider for a good many years and I wanted to get his opinion on the state of road racing in the U.S. We met for a beer on the patio of a lovely local brewery: (Either Or - It's actually a restaurant and nice bar - but it's owned by the people who own a local brewery: Lua - so I call it a brewery... I guess it's Either a restaurant Or a brewery.... the name says it all). Anyway - Matt and I had a great conversation about bikes - we hope you enjoy!
