    Episode 90: Shane Riley - He's a Bike Guy

    My good friend Shane is a cycling enthusiast to say the least. He and his wife run the Bike Johnstown Insta page (link below), and he's one of the smiling faces you'll see if you stop by Fat Jimmy's in Richland (link also below!). He's also one hell of a drummer, which we didn't end up talking about at all, but his band's IG is below as well. https://www.instagram.com/bikejohnstown/ https://www.instagram.com/fatjimmyscycles/ https://www.fatjimmys.com/ https://www.instagram.com/tigerwinemusic/
