Join me for a conversation with Wade Johnson, the Executive Director of Tri-State Trails.   Tri-State Trails is a nonprofit whose “mission is to connect people and places with a regional trail and bikeway network that enhances vibrancy and equity in our community.”  Wade and his tireless coworkers: advocate for connecting and expanding trail and bikeway networks; collect and maintain data on trails; provide technical assistance to local governments and community groups; connect trail planners, trail managers, advocates, and users to share best practices; and promote and celebrate existing trails in the Tri-State region.

We discuss Wade’s bicycle journey and how it brought him to Tri-State Trails; the current “Beechmont Connector”; future planning; and safe planning practices.

Enjoy.

 

Episode 9 of Pedaling Squares with Will Leet of Licking Valley Velo

Posted by Chris Carville On October 12, 2022 at 9:32 am

So, if I was a better scheduler, I would have had Will Leet of Licking Valley Velo on sooner!  Evening group rides are winding down as we lose daylight.  Licking Valley Velo’s now famous Tuesday Night Worlds is winding down too.  However, you can still join the folks at Licking Valley Velo for Saturday morning rides.

Licking Valley Velo is the fasted growing cycling club/team in the region.  Licking Valley Velo may be the fastest-growing club/team in the country!  And there is a reason.  These folks love their bikes and love their beer.  If you want to get into more group rides, if you want to improve your skills and comfort levels in a group ride setting, and if you like beer and time with friends, check out Licking Valley Velo based out of Newport, Kentucky. If you are fast, there is definitely a home for you too!

Pedaling Squares, Episode 4: Mitch Graham of Biowheels Fit Studio, Retul Master Fitter, IBFI Level 3 Fitter

Numb hands?

Neck Pain?

Knee Pain?

If you have any of these symptoms on your bike, you should consider a professional bike fit.  If you are uncomfortable on your bike, you won’t ride it.  Or, you will ride one of the other bikes in your garage or basement.  After all, the correct number of bikes is N + 1.

You might even find an extra couple of watts with a professional bike fit.

That is where Mitch Graham and Biowheels Fit Studio come in.  Mitch is a Retul Master Fitter and IBFI Level 3 Fitter.  Join me for a conversation with Mitch about all things Bike Fitting!
