I came across Shawne’s Instagram account @tigard_stripes a little while ago. It’s been fun to follow a little bit of his journey and how he does so many cool things on his cargo bike. I reached out to him to see if he’d be interested in being a guest on the podcast and discuss all …
For the first Podcast Session, I asked my Aunt Becky to be a guest. We had a great conversation about how she has been a yoga instructor and the lessons of wellness that come from practicing consistently. We also discussed her love of ebiking and how it has helped her stay connected with her siblings …
I started biking at a really young age, initially BMX. Me and my buddies, including Zacky G would get shovels and rakes build some funky jumps and send it! I remember riding all around town, grabbing friends along the way and finding whatever empty dirt lot we could to have some fun with. I have …
How did you get into biking? I’ve been riding since I can remember! At a very young age my dad taught me how to ride and work on bikes. It was always just kind of a fun thing to do. I didn’t take biking seriously until my late teens. I remember vividly one day taking …

Should The Wicked Witch Of the West Have Ridden Her Bike More? To this day every time I ride my bike I can hear my dad singing the tune from the Wizard of Oz as the wicked witch of the west rides her bike down the road with toto in the basket. Doot-doot-doot-doot doo doooo….. …
To me, a bike (or trike) is freedom. You see, I have Cerebral Palsy, so I’m limited in two respects. First, I don’t drive, so mobility on my own is something that is virtually non-existent. Second, I need to choose exercise activities that enable me to move my body in ways that don’t stress it, …
Since I was a little boy, I’ve always loved the freedom and flow of riding a bike. But biking took on a new role in my life a few years ago. My five-year-old son, Sam, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in February 2020. Just a couple weeks later, as my family and I were reeling …
Some of my earliest memories are riding my bike around my neighborhood with the other kids.
