Jeremy Williams and I met...... shit I don't really remember when. But we’ve been riding bikes and drinking beer for that long. He's a life long RAGBRAI participant, and has helped organize weekly rides here in Rochester. He is the first official interview actually in the salon chair! And, as it is with most RAGBRAI story tellers, I had to fake a power outage to get him to stop! Enjoy!

Tony was out working this week so Kim sat in for a few choice words with Sven and JK in the Everyday Cycles Studio, Chewey called the boys with his Steel is Real plans (including Spinner!) and Big Sexy has been putting the miles on Heater as he makes it to West Virginia and now has 25 of 50 state capitols under his wheels!

For this Podcast of Chewey's Salon Chair we only thought it fitting that the first interview be with Eric Sovern (Sov to most of the world) AND not have him in the chair. Instead, we are in Decorah IA at the Cabin Not On A Lake at the picnic table. Sov has retired from the bike industry and now has his own Craft/Hobby store in downtown Decorah, Cardboard Robot. He still has an opinion about bikes and many great stories from past cycling adventures. I'm sure this is only the first of many times we get him to hang out for this. Say hello to Sov, he talks bikes and stuff. Chewey is your host on Chewey's Salon Chair
