I'm excited to share the inaugural episode with new co-host Eva Frazier! Eva is a co-owner of Clever Cycles, a board member of the nonprofit BikeLoud PDX, and just an all-around quality person who cares about Portland and wants to see cycling thrive.
In what I hope is the first of many "In The Shed" chats to come, Eva and I chat about a wide range of topics. It's fun, free-flowing banter between two bike and urbanist nerds — a change from the more formal interviews and event recaps this podcast has done in the past. I will still do those things, but will make "In The Shed" a regular feature.
In this episode (recorded Thursday, October 12th) Eva and I talked about:
- Life in the shop (squirrels and cats!)
- Eva's preferred route from inner southeast to The Shed in NoPo
- The Street Trust Alice Awards
- Automatic shifting bicycles (Trek's "Lime" bike in Portland 2007)
- Tapas Tuesdays (link to event)
- First bike on Mt. Hood (Mazamas story)
- PBOT SE Hawthorne Blvd Evaluation Report (PDF)
- Broadway Bike Lane Scandal (all BP coverage)
- The first bakfiets in Portland and subsequent Dutch bike invasion.
- and more!!
