011: Riding Joyfully To Oil Freedom
In a country literally built around the car, switching to bike life can feel intimidating. Won’t I sweat? Isn’t it dangerous? Won’t it take forever? If you’ve found yourself asking one or all of these questions, you’re not alone. (And there’s no need to worry, because the answers will pleasantly surprise you).
In this episode, Queenie is joined by Brad Davis owner of Nomad Cycles and e-bike evangelist to discuss the movement taking over our cities: e-bikes. They discuss all things about the e-bike experience. This is bigger than a question of “should I own a car or not?” It impacts our environment, communities, and how we connect with the world around us while bringing back a sense of whimsy into everyday life.
