On this episode, we continue a tradition like no other, a futile attempt to review the year in podcast form. And since no amount of fictional podcast elves or award shows can possibly out-2020 this year, we have special guests and friends of the show Brock Dittus and Aaron Flores of the Sprocket Podcast to help make sense of this year and the year to come.

Pedalshift 2020 End-of-the-Year Holiday Spectacular

• Adventure in 2020 by bike included local service
• Bikes helped to process everything going on
• Bicycling during a pandemic
• Music selection in ID dive bars (surprising twist)
• Montana adventure (including special defense of small Montana towns)
• Low on water theory
• The one true flavor of sports drinks
• 2021 planning, or not
• Introversion and misanthropy on tour
• Bike camping when you're ready for the kids
• Staying local vs. traveling afar
• Access regardless of privilege
• RIP Dan Gebhart and a shout to our communities
