Bike Shop Society "Prologue"

A prologue is kind of a stage but not really. Tour de France prologues are generally between 5 and 9km in length. Historically the Tour has used prologues most years since (arguably) 1967. At first a prologue-esque time trial was considered stage 1a, and when that wrapped up the peloton would go back to the start line for a mass-start stage, called 1b. Riders don't like doing two stages in a day, so in 1971 the Tour started running the prologue on its own, and by 1974 the word "prologue...

Like hanging around the bike shop.

Marissa's Daddy

You meet some interesting people at a bike shop and there are interesting people that ride bikes. Just as interesting is the direction of the bike industry, the good, the bad and the ugly. The fads, trends, bandwagons, explosions, then it slows down or disappears. The bike shops are the ones that experience these changes and have to deal with it. Very interesting conversations with very interesting guests.
Like being a fly on the wall of my favorite bike shop.

This is one of my very favorite podcast. It’s like getting up with old friends right there in the bike shop. Both Joe and Dan have so many great stories that I look forward to a new installment each and every week.
