Guests: Caron Whitaker; Andy McGrath I have a bit of housekeeping before we get to our two great guests today. First – it’s WJCU’s annual fundraiser – RADIOTHON! This year’s theme “Carrying the Torch for College Radio,” is particularly pertinent as another well-loved local college station was recently sold and converted to our local NPR …

Guest: Maynard Hershon My guest today is an old friend and perhaps someone many of you might consider your friend too. If you subscribed to Winning Magazine or Velo News back in the day, you relished Maynard Hershon’s column, “Tales from the Bike Shop,” at the back of each issue. Maynard is the bicycle world’s …

SHOW #1 WITH BEN SEROTTA This file has been MIA for a long time.  It is the first conversation I had for the Outspoken Cyclist with my friend and colleague, Ben Serotta. I’m sharing it with you now because I recently wrote a Substack piece that talks about Ben, this episode of the show, and …

Guest: Paul Gibson – Ellis-Briggs Cycles As many of you know, I have a real soft spot for traditional steel frame bikes and so I always feel somewhat justified in my “curmudgeonly-ness” when I have the opportunity speak with a master frame builder who is still practicing the art of building steel bikes. Bicycling started …

Guest: Tucker Schwinn In my Substack post about Tucker Schwinn’s new book, Closure – The Final Days of the Waterford Bicycle Factory – I said I had hoped to be able to speak with him directly.

Guests: Chuck Marohn; Esther Walker I’m really pleased to welcome two great guests to the show today. The first is not new to TOC, and in fact has been someone I’ve not only spoken with in the past but have also referred to many times on episodes where he doesn’t even appear. I love catching …

Guests: David Shellnut; Bill Nesper Every time I think our issues with cars vs cyclists are getting so much worse, which of course they are, I come across something that is even more dreadful! Seems that Canada – a place where I would have thought cyclists would be not only safer but encouraged – is …

Guest: Joe Lindsey This episode was going to be an audio with commentary for my Substack.  But, as often happens when I speak with Joe Lindsey from the Escape Collective, the conversation becomes so interesting that I just couldn’t see NOT sharing it on all my platforms. Another reason I wanted to share this with …

Guests: Kevin Duggan; Sarah Davis We read or hear about corruption from a lot of places and when I came across a story from Kevin Duggan from Streetsblog NYC about a prominent family in Brooklyn NY that bribed officials to kill a protected bike lane, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to find out …

Guests: Scott Tong; Tony Jordan Scott Tong is one of my favorite NPR hosts. Most days, along with Robin Young and several other Here and Now folks, I listen to Scott on WKSU, our local NPR affiliate. Over the past year or so, I’ve heard Scott talk about riding his bike, crashing his bike, and …
