Revolting 22

Talk
By Emlyn Lewis 4

Single-speeding. This episode is about single-speed bikes, riding, racing, etc. The hardcore of cycling. One note. Purity. The guys talk about their personal histories with just the one gear and the ethos around singel-speeding “back in the day.” Then they consider whether this oddball category isn’t just as elitist as all the others.

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.

    Would have loved to listen to Revolting on today’s road trip, but the download link does not work and I searched Google Podcasts and could not find it there.

    There was a quick second when if you hit play, nothing happened. How’s it working now?
