Travis Brown is a hall of fame mountain biker who enjoyed an illustrious career that spanned the 2000 Olympic Games, multiple national championships, singlespeed world titles (during the branding years), and more. Today he plays an integral role in Trek’s product development department, and is responsible for many of the design innovations that are changing the bikes we ride. Payson considers Travis a role model as much for his community and advocacy efforts as for his successful race career. In this conversation, they discuss Travis's early cycling career, the future of e-bikes within the mountain biking community, and why you should ignore your surgeon's orders when trying for the Olympics.
