A bicycling boom has emerged amid the pandemic as people search for a socially distanced outlet for recreation and a safer mode of transportation. Most bike stores are besieged by the demand from would-be bike buyers for just about anything on two wheels. Mechanics, too, are overwhelmed by massive waitlists of customers’ requests for a tune-up on their old bikes — some of which have been dragged out from the basement for the first time in years.
Three local cycling experts discuss how a 19th-century invention is leaving a lot of modern-day Teslas in the dust.
GUESTS:
Marty Miserandino, owner, manager, and buyer of Fit Werx, a top rated bicycle store and bike fitting studio in Peabody, Massachusetts.
Tom Rodi, marketing director for Parlee Cycles, a bicycle manufacturer based in Beverly, Massachusetts.
Becca Wolfson, executive director of the Boston Cyclists Union.
Later in the show:
In Black families, it’s known as “The Talk”: the discussion Black parents have with their kids about what to do should they end up in an interaction with a police officer. The Talk takes on a new poignancy this Father’s Day as the nation mourns George Floyd, killed at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, and demonstrators protest the recent police killings of unarmed black men and women.
GUESTS:
Emmett G. Price III, professor of worship, church and culture, and founding executive director of the Institute for the Study of the Black Christian Experience at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
Matt Prestbury, founder of the Black Fathers Foundation, creator of the Black Fathers Facebook group, and educator in the Howard County public school system.
Show Credits:
Under the Radar with Callie Crossley is a production of WGBH, produced by Hannah Uebele and engineered by Dave Goodman. Rebecca Tauber is our intern.
Our theme music is FISH AND CHIPS by #weare2saxys’, Grace Kelly and Leo P.
Thanks for listening!
