Battling Lyme Disease, Ian Hylands Part 2 of 2 - The Inside Line

Welcome mountain bikers! Thanks for tuning into The Inside Line podcast. Today we wrap up a candid interview with influential photographer, Ian Hylands. In part one we discussed his history and his impact on our sport, and today we get into his battle with Lyme disease and how that impacted his life. We dig into how he transitioned from a film photographer primarily shooting for print magazines to digital and internet-based work, his time as staff photographer at Niner Bikes, how he ended up at Deity components and a brief nod to the epic human we know as John Kerr, the photographer at Mountain Bike Action. We conclude with some photo tech with Ph.D-level insight into flash photography. It’s been an honor to have Ian on the show and I know you’ll enjoy the episode.

We’ll keep this week’s Listener response question nice and tight. What do you think about the prices of mountain bikes and ebikes these days? In just the last week, we had a few different new bike come out that blew past the $10,000 range. We also have some incredibly-performing budget bikes out there now. What do you think?

Use your phone’s voice memo feature to record your response and email that recording to [email protected]. You can also send me a written response to the same address. I’ll feature the responses in the next Listener Response show this coming week. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this and, as always, all of us here at Vital appreciate your feedback and support of The Inside Line. Let’s do it! Thank you Hylands, now, where’s that spring time weather at!
