Sensible, yet Adventurous
32 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago -My dream as a young man was to work in radio. I did that through college and then.....abandoned the dream. Instead I ended up spending the majority of my working life in the bicycle business. In this podcast I cover some of my opinions on bicycles, travels that I've embarked on over the years, various adventures (and misadventures) and hopefully talk to some interesting people along the way.
