E544 – Dan Kaufman on Bikes for Protest & Mutual Aid

59 minutes

Dan Kaufman is a Portland-based musician, music and video producer, and activist who has been protesting all the way back to the Iraq War protests and up to the recent Black Lives Matter protests right here in Portland. A friend of the show (episodes E126 and E180) and founder of PDXK Productions and CrankMyChain Cycle TV, he joins us this week to talk protests, and also he sings a new song of his, “Ride On, Stride On“! Find Dan Kaufman and his music at https://www.dankaufmanband.com

Also, as always, thanks to our nationally recognized “top beer bar in Oregon” beverage sponsor, The Beer Mongers on SE12th and Division, now open for more than 4,000 days consecutively. They have a patio outside the place and, if you’re lucky, you might be able to catch some sports with sound. The big stick remains indoor on the ceiling. And, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!

WINTER BIKE LIGHTS

We are pausing the calendar til things are a bit safer, and we don’t have any mail this week. But! We do have something fun. With the pandemic and lack of social outings, winter is looking a bit bleak, so we are asking listeners to decorate your bikes with any extra fun lights, take a photo, and share it with us on any of our social media. Bring a bit of cheer to our days without much daylight. Use the hashtag #sprocketwinterbike
