The Outspoken Cyclist – 05/12/2012

Greg Priddy — Sat, 12 May 2012 22:30:27 +0000

Here in Ohio, Mother’s Day weekend marks the beginning of the touring season with TOSRV. The Outspoken Cyclist is doing its part by bringing you a trio of great interviews from all over the cycling map.

First up, we welcome to the studio Rick Smith and Brian Griggs, co-creators of Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery, a thrice-weekly slice of cycling life in web comic form. And, they’re based right here in Cleveland!

May is also “bicycle to everything” month, and Robert Ping is here to talk about Safe Routes to School. Robert has some great insights on kids biking, walking and what’s needed to encourage more of both.

And we wrap up with the skinny on the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame from past president and current board member Bill Brunner. Bill knows who’s in the 2012 class of inductees, and although he can’t tell us that, he does reveal pretty much everything else about the Cycling HoF.

The Outspoken Cyclist – 04/28/2012

Greg Priddy — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:30:47 +0000

As cyclists, we can sometimes get so focused on goals, equipment, advocacy, and events, that we forget how much fun is at the core of riding a bicycle. This week’s show presses the reset button, and turns the Fun Dial up to 11, with two great interviews that speak to the joy of cycling.

First up is author Steven Rea who has written a new book: Hollywood Rides a Bike: Cycling with the Stars. Steven is also the movie critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the man behind a Tumblr blog about stars on bikes. As it turns out, you’re no one in Hollywood unless you’ve been photographed on, or with a bike.

After some cycling news Diane is joined by Rob Gusky of Kimberly Clark & Amanda White of the Wisconsin Bicycle Federation. Rob and Amanda are two of the driving forces behind the National Bike Challenge, which starts May 1st, and runs all summer. It’s free, and there are prizes. Did you hear that? Prizes just for riding your bike!
