Folks: A Montana Podcast Tess Fahlgren

In this episode I sit down with my good friend Adam Miller to talk about the 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps, a group of men who bicycled from Fort Missoula in Montana to St. Louis, Missouri, as an experiment to see if bicycles could possibly replace horses in the military. Adam, my guest, is going on a gigantic motorcycle tour himself.
