Where are the bikes? Not the ones in your garage or your friend’s garage, but the ones that should be appearing on the floors of bike shops around the country. Demand has fallen off, possibly because non-bike-owning types are tired of waiting for bikes to show up from the factories. Robot digs into this question with unsurprising results.

A listener wrote to Patrick to comment on the stance the show took with regard to dogs on trails a few weeks back. Not everyone digs sharing trails with dogs. Regionality may have something to do with it.

Padraig

When playing drums in a rock and roll band didn't turn at to be as lucrative as he'd hoped, Padraig left his hometown of Memphis to pursue an MFA in poetry at UMASS Amherst. Writing about his other love, bicycles, seemed a natural progression; certainly it paid better than either poetry or rock music. His work has appeared everywhere from Bicycling Magazine to the LA Times. His feature, "My Day With Ilya," won a Lowell Thomas Award for travel writing. These days he lives in Sonoma County, California, where he attempts to inspire his two demitasse ninja with the wonder of bikes. Favorites: flavor: maple; wine: Boheme Pinot Noir; beer: Russian River Pliny the Elder; neurochemical: dopamine; poetry: Andrew Hudgins; fiction: Thomas Pynchon; music: David Sylvian; comedy: Firesign Theater; event: 8-Hours of Wente.
