If someone asked you to cycle around where you live and record all the different aspects of it - art, buildings, nature - how would you do it? How long might it take you? Our guest today Tom Leeper did just that in Detroit. Someone who loves being on his bike Tom decided that after cycling on similar areas for a long time he wanted to venture further afield. At the same time, Tom started taking pictures of the vast amount of art and interesting buildings in Detroit. In doing so over several years, he has created a unique cultural archive which has involved cycling thousands of miles and taking tens of thousands of pictures.

We also dig into what he thinks is unique about Detroit and what has driven and sustained Tom through this project. The conversation takes a look at Detroit's historic Belgian bar and the unusual game that you can play there and a couple of other strange and fun games which you can play there.

Listening to the podcast alongside looking at Tom's website Every Linear Mile will give you a real sense of the creativity and fun that peppers so many areas of Detroit.
