Saddle up for an inspiring conversation with Joe Kurmaskie, the "Metal Cowboy." Joe recounts his incredible family-cycling-adventures-turned-books, including hauling his two sons – and his dad's ashes! – across America (Momentum is Your Friend) and a later epic journey across Canada with his wife and three sons (Mud, Sweat, and Gears). Discover the hilarious origin story of Joe's nickname and hear about his battle with a life-threatening illness that fueled his passion to give back. Joe founded and operates Reborn Bikes, which provides thousands of refurbished bicycles to Oregon communities in need. This episode is a testament to Joe’s spirit of adventure, his resilience, and the deep influence that the bicycle has had on his life.

The central repository for Joe Kurmaskie’s extensive work is the Metal Cowboy website.
