Summary: ...in which we find out why Mike uses a hammer to work on his bike, and Randy tells of a close encounter with a train. Canadian football is played on a field 110 yards (not meters!) long. Randy had broken the front giant fender on his Pugsley. Now he breaks the rear one, too. Sad. People ask inane questions about repairing bikes. People are idiots -- including us! Randy considers the idea of having a bike devoted to not crashing. We recorded the show on National Bike to Work Day (in the US; Bike to Work Week in Winnipeg is next month). We discuss feelings of ambivalence about riding bikes among text-messaging drivers, and the lack of proper infrastructure for transportation cycling in North America. Randy sees kids riding to school in a large group, and we talk about our own kids riding to school. We have a sponsor: StemCAPtain! You can have a clock, a compass, or even a thermometer mounted on the top of your stem! For a 15% discount, use the offer code "SPOKESANDWORDS"! Wheels without spokes: Loopwheels & Softwheels!
