In this episode, listeners join host Tom Butler as he candidly shares an unimpressive update on his journey to reverse insulin resistance. Despite his consistent efforts, progress has hit a plateau.  While he is working to keep his health improvements going, Tom is also beginning to research for this season's cycling goal. Determined to conquer challenges well in advance and remove barriers to success, Tom explores the first section of the route to gauge the effort required.

Tom also has a conversation with Joel Pfundt, the Assistant Public Works Director for Transportation at the City of Bellingham. Together, Tom and Joel discuss the ongoing efforts to update the 2014 bike transit plan in Bellingham, a city that stands out for its embrace of bike transit. Joel provides insights into the success of the 2014 plan and offers an expert perspective on the intricate challenges of transit planning in a city that goes beyond the typical mold. Tune in for a captivating blend of personal cycling stories and an insider's view on the evolving landscape of bike transit.
