Ep. 20 Stephen Bilenky of Bilenky Cycle Works

Stephen Bilenky cut his teeth making huge numbers of tandem bikes through the 80s and 90s. He also has made a ton of commuter and touring bikes among others, he has done tons of modifications and retrofits on bikes, and he's known as a master of fillet brazing. This week I asked him how the industry was different then vs now, and how he got started before you could take a class or so-readily learn from peers online. We also talk about the history of the Philly Bike Expo that he started in 2008.
