Description

In some parts of the world, bicycling is not only an accepted mode of transportation.  It’s  wholeheartedly embraced.  Travel Europe and Asia or visit  larger cities in the U.S. and you will see people getting from here to there on their bicycles.  And they’re not only getting around.  They’re  getting great exercise at the same time.  But in some communities, cyclists will tell you they take their lives in their own hands when they hit the road.  Traveling by bike is definitely uncommon.   And places to enjoy a recreational bike ride or hard to find.

But today’s guest did what most do-gooders do.  He stared a “negative” in the face and saw a  “positive”.  Chad Wolfe is the owner of the Trek Bicycle Store Johnson City Tennessee.   In the episode, you’re going to hear how he turned a specialty business into an agent for community change. He’ll explain how the pandemic served to accelerate a rural Appalachian community’s love for biking.  And you’ll hear how his approach and his passion became a force for good in his newly adopted hometown.   You’ll hear some real wisdom that can be applied as you do good where you are.
