We Got To Hang Out

After a few weeks off, we’re back with an interview with Clara Honsinger, a professional cyclocross racer who recently got a Silver Medal at U23 Pan Am Championships.  She's had a breakout season this year while riding at the Elite level for Team S & M out of Portland, OR. Keep your eyes out for this one!

First off, it's a banter you don't want to miss -- Abby talks studying and mini horses and Anna rehashes her time backstage at the Sleater-Kinney concert.

This episode Anna talks with Kate and Dan at the SRAM headquarters in Chicago.  We talk a lot of bullshit, but there's some gems in there...like how do you feel about disc brakes, where did the name 'blips' come from and what is the direction of cycling?

Emma Mcilroy, founder and CEO of Wildfang, is a total hero of ours. We're stoked that she agreed to hang out with us to share her story and drink some bubbly. If you haven't already done so, also listen to her TED Talk and check out @wearewildfang, www.wildfang.com. Thank you for everything you do Emma & Wildfang -- in our PDX community and beyond!

Does he need an intro?  We discuss Portland(ia), Freds, S-K and fight over the location of OG Stumptown.  

We're very excited for this special Friday release of our interview with Corin Tucker! We're still in disbelief that Corin agreed to ride Biketown bikes with us around NoPo and talk Sleater-Kinney, Patti Smith, Filthy Friends and Welsh Corgis...

A few weeks back, we had the opportunity to ride bikes with the fine folks from Our Mother The Mountain (OMTM). They took us on some great gravel roads Northwest of town and made us a sweet playlist to accompany it. We talk bikes and punk rock -- trust us, these guys are the coolest! Have a listen and then check out their website (omtm.cc) where they share fantastic routes and encourage others to join them at one of their scheduled rides.
