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 NoPoThe 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!!
