    Up Here, We Help When We Can (Part One) - Mike Shisler

    Thank you for checking out another episode of the what is cycling podcast and welcome to the first episode of 2023! On today’s episode, we have the artist and adventure cyclist, Mike Shisler, or as he would like to be known as an artlete. Mike reached out to me because he is also an author and wanted me to read his book about his bikepacking trip from Alaska to San Diego. I couldn't turn down the opportunity because a book with art, cycling adventure, and facts about the places he traveled is a no-brainer. Listen as we discuss van life, more bear encounters, and days with no night. Make sure to check out his book, Drawn There: The Art of Bikepacking in the link below.

    Defeating Cancer And A Heart With Wires - Mike Cohen

    On today's episode of The What Is Cycling Podcast, we have a very special guest, Mike Cohen. Mike has a very powerful and inspiring story that will move you and encourage you. At a young age, Mike was diagnosed with cancer which disrupted all of his plans at the time. After Mike defeated cancer, he had a blood clot in his heart which caused him to have a device that was hooked up to him and would ultimately cause him to get on the heart transplant list. On the day that he found out he was receiving a heart, he had to go under the procedure for a heart transplant. Mike, who is a cyclist and loves all things cycling, wanted to combine his love of cycling with his new heart and rode across the country to pay his respects to his donor and meet the donor's family. Listen to episode 14 to learn what it is like to battle and win against cancer, receive a new heart, and how to give back to the cycling community.
