Howdy Bike Nerds!

This episode is hopefully first of many with eBikes in mind. This is one where we ran it unscripted and made some mistakes but still covered  hardware, feelings, categories, likes, dislikes. battery life, and how they have changed our lives!! Hopefully you enjoy this episode as much as we love the eBikes!

This time on the mic is no other than a local intersection legend, Rick Nolte. Rick is loved by many (including the moms) and hated by some for his fun and masterful bike antics arounds the AV.

In this episode we really get to know more about the Man, the passions, the bikes, the history and his future plan with a Guinness Book of World Records attempt!  Rick also rides forwards and backwards daily purely for the show and personal Therapy!
Sounds exciting right!?

In Episode #6 I team up with Paul Avila to chat with local Gravel Racer and musician MIke Lemos. Mike has a long history in mountain biking and road and continues his cycling journey on the Gravel bike. His passion for gravel has brought him to racing some big events and even landing some good sponsors. Listen in as the bonus is his passion for music and helping others.

In part #2 with Nic we touch on his next moves on a bike, some hints on a project and his take and experience on this years Red Bull Rampage.  Nic lives the dream up close and personal with this event with helping his buddy Reed hit podium,  insights to Rampage that none of us get too hear and the all around vibe that the mega event puts out with riders and the crowd!

I had so much fun recording this as the Red Bull Rampage is a staple in my life from the front of the TV and with Nics experience, I felt like I got to live it a whole lot more! I hope you enjoyed these two episodes as much as I did!
