On this week’s show, my guest is writer and editor Peter Flax. Flax was features editor for the Hollywood Reporter. Flax is also a contributor to CyclingTips where he writes on a wide range of cycling culture topics. He is probably best known to cyclists as the former editor in chief of Bicycling Magazine. I was interested to talk to Flax because he straddles both the world of the writer and the world of the editor, two processes that depend on each other, yet aren’t the least bit similar. And while he lives in Los Angeles, a place where cycling culture is dominated by group rides, his cycling life is spent as a commuter.
