Today’s episode of Bike Life aired earlier this year and quickly became one of our most downloaded shows of all time. With over 30 years of experience, John Bolton knows a thing or two about cycling and the gear that goes with it! He shares his vast knowledge on his YouTube channel called Cycling on a Shoestring.

John is passionate about the cycling community and gives honest, objective reviews, tips, and tricks in his videos. He shares low-cost products with great value and the resources you need to follow your passion for cycling and do it affordably. Whether it’s clothing, gear, bikes, routes, or components, John reviews it all.

5 Fun Facts and Observations from John:

• He likes climbing mountains - yeah, he likes to suffer!
• His Road ID wristband says, “ Pain is temporary; quitting lasts forever.”
• Riding a bike gives him time to think and keeps him sane.
• Patching tubes is still a thing.
• You see the world from a different perspective from a bike saddle.
