My dream as a young man was to work in radio. I did that through college and then.....abandoned the dream. Instead I ended up spending the majority of my working life in the bicycle business. In this podcast I cover some of my opinions on bicycles, travels that I've embarked on over the years, various adventures (and misadventures) and hopefully talk to some interesting people along the way.

    The Monday Micro Dose: 6 July 2020

    I'm  sleep deprived, and honestly a little grumpy from hearing my neighbors celebrate our Nations Independence. 
    I revisit riding in normal clothes, our new "hands free" law and what I'm currently reading.

Great!

Love the show so far... looking forward to more episodes.

BicycleBelleDing! ,

Good guests, would like to hear more from them

Great premise for a podcast - bicycles and bike culture in America today. The host has interesting and informed guests, and conducts his interviews with a conversational atmosphere.

What I am really missing here is hearing from the interviewees. The host has a tendency to talk over his guests and to meander into topics different from the one presently being discussed. I feel unsure of who is being interviewed. At times, the host has a somewhat negative tone that can be off-putting.

It’s a young podcast, so I’m looking forward to it being a bit more polished with time.
