In the past, Jeff and I have had several powerful conversations about the work he does in assisting cities, towns, and municipalities become “walkable” and “bikeable.” His books, Walkable Cities and Walkable Cities Rules, are nothing short of step-by-step instructions on how to achieve these goals. ...2024-01-2846 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 01/20/2024 Happy New Year everyone! I’m back for a new season of the show and today we begin with conversations with two guests we’ve spoken with in the past. First up is John Surico. John’s work is all about sustainability, safety, cities, and transportation. He melds it all up on his Streetbeat blog on Substack and today we’re going to look back at some things from 2023 as well as look forward to his work in 2024. In his latest Streetbeat newsletter on Substack, John Surico tells us about Hoboken, NJ, where there have been zero –...2024-01-2051 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 11/28/2023 This year, with so much turmoil in the world, I wanted to feature a story that is both heartwarming and inspirational. Homelessness is a real thing – and a very disconcerting one. So, when a hard-working homeless man, who saved his money to buy an eBike to commute to his job and was swindled out of the money he paid to share an apartment so he wouldn’t be homeless, wakes up to find his eBike stolen, you just have to ask youruself – what is wrong with people? But John Robinson, owner of Johnny Velo Bikes in Colum...2023-11-2848 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 11/22/2023 My guests this show couldn’t be more different in terms of their focus – one is a civil enginer, ardent urban planner, and transportation specialist, the other is an accomplished Master’s bike racer, winning several medals in this year’s PanAm Games. But, variety is the spice of life as they say… so hopefully you’ll get something from each of them – whether it be inspiration to do more about your local bicycling/walking infrastructure or decide to enter an event you had been thinking about but have yet to sign on the dotted line. Veronica Dav...2023-11-221h 12

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 11/02/2023 As promised, my conversation today is with one of the pioneers of women’s frame design Georgena Terry. I’ve known Georgena for many years and it is always great to speak with her. She started out as an engineering student in Pittsburgh and took that engineering mind into the bicycle business in 1985, launching Terry Precision Bicycles. Over these many decades, she not only produced her very special women’s specific designs, but added saddles, shorts, jerseys, and more. In fact, I would suggest that almost everyone who has been riding for th...2023-11-0236 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 10/15/2023 With the demise of events such as NAHBS, The New England Builder’s Ball, Classic Rendezvous Weekend, and even the postponement of The Philly Bike Show until Spring of 2024, any opportunity to see classic bicycles and talk with other enthusiasts is welcome. So, come next Sunday, October 22nd, you can head on out to Long Island, NY for a few hours of vintage and handmade bikes along with a swap meet. Jamie Swan, frame builder and machinist extraordinaire, is the producer of this little event and he’s my guest today. Jamie will fill us in on...2023-10-1550 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 9/26/2023 This episode was supposed to air a week earlier to coincide with an event my guest was having at his Brooklyn, NY workshop. Due to COVID and nasty weather, it was postponed to this coming Sunday, October 1st. We’ll have more at the end of the show. Also, I want to preface this episode with an important announcement from Shimano. Last Thursday, September 21st, Shimano issued a massive recall of over 760,000 cranks. Instead of reading you all the information about how to tell if your Ultegra or Dura Ace crank has been recalled, I’ve put a...2023-09-2656 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 9/17/2023 There is only one word for my guest today and that word is hero! And, Lynne Salvo is definitely one of mine. Back in 2019, pre-covid of course, I spoke with Lynne as she was riding across Canada as the oldest woman to complete the trek coast-to-coast for a Guiness World Record. Then, two days ago and ahead of the hurricane that was about to pummel Maine, Lynne completed her 2023 west-to-east ride to break a record set by another woman (under a completely different set of rules!) and break it she did, once again becoming the o...2023-09-1737 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist 8/24/2023 First up is a name that is synonymous with bicycles – I would venture to say that no one who listens to this podcast doesn’t know the name OR hasn’t had a bicycle with that name on the downtube at some point in his or her life. And after a lifetime of living and breathing bicycles, Richard Schwinn has decided it’s time to retire and at the end of June, his Waterford Precision Cycles stopped taking new orders and prepared to close the business – which he did the following month. Richard Schwinn and I have bee...2023-08-241h 04

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist 8/06/2023 Sometimes I wonder how I ever became so lucky as to be able to have conversations with the people I do, and this episode of the show highlights two of those people. First up is Jennifer Boyd. Jennifer is the founder of Boyd Productions,LLC, a documentary production company that prides itself on creating films that spark curiosity, connectivity, and societal change. Her multilingual, female-led team has more than 20 years of experience in filmmaking, music, television, and journalism. Jennifer has produced and directed more than 25 documentaries on topics ranging from climate change to...2023-08-071h 07

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 7/10/2023 This episode of TOC offers up two very different topics. First up is Matt de Neef. He is the managing editor of Escape Collective, the online presence of independent cycling journalism. I caught up with Matt just before Stage 1 of the Tour to chat about his article, In Pursuit of the UCI Overlord, published June 22nd on the Escape site. In his story, Matt details the shady goings-on of one Aaron Brown who, in 2012, disappeared with more than $70,000 of “other peoples’ money.” That money was intended for a defense fund for Irish journalist Paul Kimm...2023-07-1057 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 6/23/2023 In my last podcast, I mentioned my guest – Jenny Graham. In 2018, she embarked upon and completed a round-the-world trip by bicycle. This, however, was not just ANY trip – THIS was a Guinness World Record attempt and break the record she did – by 110 days! Her story – from start to finish – is detailed in her new book, Coffee First, Then the World, which was just released in the States on June 13th. Her telling of her story is extraordinary – the story itself is extraordinary – and our conversation is soooo much fun. From the custom Shand Bi...2023-06-2346 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 6/15/2023 This is a sort of special episode. Beginning Tomorrow, June 17th, PL And Kristen Meindertsma will begin the first of 5 yearly journeys to raise a cumulative $2.5 for 5 charities over 5 continents. PL and Kristen met at an Ironman competition in 2000, married, and have been working and raising their two children. But, the call of the needs of people around the globe coupled with that desire to get back on the bike was the genesis of what has become a most unusual philanthropic event. So, this conversation is their send-off! And, I hope y...2023-06-1533 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist 5/31/2023 Not too long ago, we spoke with Paul Tolme, the communications director of the Cascade Bicycle Club headquartered in Seattle. I was so taken with some of the programs this 10,000-member club is developing and implementing, that when Paul contacted me about the Pedaling Relief Project, which is reaching a huge milestone, as well as to update me on some of their legislative initiatives, I thought I’d share his news with you. Our conversation sort of began before I did the “formal intro” so, I figure we’ll just fade into it… he’s always raring...2023-05-3146 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 4/18/2022 As promised the last time we spoke with him, Wayne Stetina, SRAM’s senior field guide, is back to school us on the new SRAM Eagle Transmission system. In fact, you might want to take some notes. From learning about cassette mapping to the simple installation of the chain, Wayne gives us the details in a clear and precise manner. The result though is in the riding and according to Wayne, the harder you pedal this new system, the easier it shifts. I really appreciate Wayne’s thoroughness in explaining the new system. For more...2023-04-1854 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 4/6/2023 James Hibbard had a shot at being one of the top track and crit riders of his era, except, he wasn’t willing to take that one last step – he wasn’t willing to add a doping regimen to his training. But that’s only one part of the conversation I had with James about his new book, The Art of Cycling, Philosophy, Meaning, and A Life on Two Wheels. James is a philosopher – both in education – he has a PhD in th discipline, and in the way he views life, sport, and especially how we behave an...2023-04-0638 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 3/27/2023 My first guest is no stranger to TOC. A couple of times a year, at least, I ask journalist and NYU professor, John Surico to join me and catch us up on what is happening in NYC. The reason I look to him and to NY is that he’s got his ear to the ground on everything from climate and sustainability to walking, biking, and advocacy plus a lot more. I like the way he thinks and especially what he talks about on his substack pages, Streetbeat. In our conversation, I ask him what his...2023-03-2748 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 3/18/2023 On our last podcast, Caley Fretz, editor-in-chief of the new Escape Collective cycling website, was talking about the then imminent launch of the project and how some of the best journalists would be going in-depth to bring the cycling stories and information subscribers wanted. Well, Escape DID go live this week and met its initial goal(s) so that they could indeed sign some of the best journalists, photographers, editors, and developers in the business. A big congratulations to Escape Collective – live long and … well you get the idea. Meanwhile, this episode of the...2023-03-1859 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 3/11/2023 You may remember in my last episode that I spoke about how so many publications – both print and online – have either ceased to exist, have become shadows of their formers selves, or have laid or and/or fired their very best reporters, editors, photographers, and more. So, out of the ashes rises the phoenix as they say and that phoenix is called the Escape Collective. Along with Caley Fretz, who was the editor in chief of Velo News, a slew of these top-notch journalists have come together to offer up a product just for you – not fo...2023-03-1135 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 3/7/23 Since this is women’s history month, I had the honor of being interviewed by Traci Berry, the coordinator of Northwoods Trails in Arkansas for the Natural State Bikes Podcast. We chatted for over an hour, and I really appreciated her thoughtful inquiry. You can hear that episode as well as others highlighting some of the bike world’s most interesting female voices on Spotify – there is a link on our website or you can find it on Spotify at Natural State Bikes – women of biking.

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 2/6/2023 It is fitting that February is Black History Month as my first guest is author David Goodrich and his newest book, which will be released on Tuesday, February 7th, is titled, “On Freedom Road – Bicycle Explorations and Reckonings On the Underground Railroad.” David Goodrich is a retired climate scientist, and in the first two books we reviewed with him, we learned about how people felt about climate change as he rode across the country and about the tar sands and their impact on the communities is as oil companies try to extract the “dirty oil” as it is known.2023-02-0552 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 1/15/2023 My first guest is David Stanley and he is a friend Charles Pelkey, arguably one of the nicest guys to ever grace the pages of cycling journalism – along with a lot of other fine attributes. Every once in a while, a really good guy gets a really bad deal… and in an effort to ease some of that burden, we’re going to see what we can do to help today. If you ever participated in the Live Update Guy episodes – a mix of running commentary, a Monty-Python like atmosphere, and even some poetry – you will remem...2023-01-1656 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 1/2/2023 Happy New Year to you and I hope you had a great holiday season. For our first show of 2023, I had the great good fortune to speak with one of cycling’s elite racers about his life, his family, his history in the sport, and his thoughts about the bicycle industry. Wayne Stetina – in fact, the entire Stetina family – have had a stellar career in not only racing, but also incredibly valued input into what we ride and race today. Wayne’s phenomenal memory of people, events, and topics will dazzle those who have an...2023-01-031h 17

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 12/15/2022 I hope you have had a great holiday – Christmas, Hanukkah, Qwanza, Festivus – and even just staying in and enjoying some down time. Certainly here in NE Ohio we had little choice with below zero temperatures, wicked winds, and blowing snow. That however did not prevent me from putting together a short podcast for this week. Despite the weather, sometimes it’s really nice to be living in one of those States that is doing something so right for cycling; and Ohio is one of them. My first guest today is Jenn Hamelman. She’s the progra...2022-12-2636 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 12/17/2022 Over the past twelve plus years, we’ve spoken with many frame builders and today, we have t he privilege of speaking with an American builder who has been living and working in Italy for several decades. Darren Crisp didn’t start out as a frame builder – in fact, he has a degree in architecture, decided he wasn’t such a great architect, and began building very exclusive stores for an Italian company. But, there’s so much more to the story and I’ll let him tell it. I caught up with Darren in be...2022-12-1756 min

Outspoken CyclistOutspoken Cyclist – 12/10/2022 We’re rounding third and heading home – both to the holidays and to the New Year. 2022 has been – um – interesting to say the least. We’ll take a look back at it after the New Year.. Today, we’re going to wrap-up our gift ideas for cyclists with Dan Cavallari. Dan thought about it and, as you’ll hear, has come up with a short list of things NOT to give a cyclist! I had to agree with him as these are items that cyclists tend to want to get for themselves or already have far too many in t...2022-12-1039 min
