This week we got to sit down with Jason McKenzie. He is the owner of Ride on Bikes, a shop in Columbus Georgia that is "Probably the best bike shop in the world". You don't want to miss the knowledge and perspective that Jason shared with us! He told us about what it is like being a part of the greater bike community, what his bike shop went through during COVID, and what it means for him with big bike brands going direct to consumer more and more.

If you are in the area, definitely pay Jason and his shop a visit. Information about the shop can be found here: https://www.rideonbikes.com/

Also, Jason and Ride on Bikes host many exciting events and group rides. Here are some examples:

Ride on Bikes recently celebrated 20 years, and the hosted an Urban MTB race to celebrate.  Here’s a link to the first one they did a few years ago: https://youtu.be/-i0lJ7UUhF4

Is all bike innovation good innovation? The Chumps discuss how bikes have changed over the years for better and for worse. We also talk about some bike tech like the Classified hub and OSPWs. Mike Green has some (allegedly) pro tips for us this week, so listen to the end.
