    Have you heard of a brand of bicycles called Priority? If not, today is the day! Co-Founder Connor Swegle is on this episode to talk all things Priority! Priority Bicycles is a small company with big dreams. They went from a Kickstarter 11 years ago to a company that has a full line up of bicycles that feature a belt drive system instead of your standard chain. This makes for, as they would say: the best low maintenance bicycles in the world, period. Their strategy is simple: high quality parts, an efficient supply chain, low overhead, and an online business model. Connor talks about the company, exactly what a belt drive is, and what is in store for the future of Priority Bicycles. www.murphologypodcast.com www.prioritybicycles.com www.duzertv.com www.ragbrai.com Email me at murphologypodcast@gmail.com if you have a topic or the name of a cyclist you find interesting.

    Episode 158: Cherokee Nation’s Amaiya Bearpaw: Remember the Removal Bike Ride

    On this episode meet Amaiya Bearpaw. As a proud member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, she was chosen to pedal about 950 miles in 2023 as part of the Remember the Removal Bike Ride, also known as RTR. The ride spans from Georgia to Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma over nearly three weeks. The Remember the Removal Bike Ride was started by the Cherokee Nation in 1984 with the intent for Cherokee youth to retrace the Trail of Tears and get a glimpse of the hardships their ancestors faced when they made the same trek on foot years before. The ride became an annual event starting in 2009 and today, riders are selected based on an interview process. Then, the selected riders train for six months and also learn about the history of the Cherokee . During the bike tour, riders get re-connected with their past, honoring and visiting the historic landmarks and unmarked graves of their Cherokee ancestors. Amaiya was part of the 2023 team and is on today to tell us about her experience. https://rtr.cherokee.org/ https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/remember-the-removal-bike-ride.htm https://shop.visitcherokeenation.com/ www.murphologypodcast.com Email me at murphologypodcast@gmail.com if you have a topic or the name of a cyclist you find interesting.
