Stage 65 - No Crying In The Bike Shop
Bike shop employee Isa makes an appearance on today's show. Joe Torres ( hagasan?hl=en) is surprised to discover that she does more than just sit behind a computer and ring people up. Joe also shares his thoughts on trouble brewing in the world of professional bike racing-find out why he thinks the racing has become robotic and the racers lack personality. And finally, Joe took a road trip to Ohio to pick up a bike he’s been dreaming about for years. Find out what makes this bike so special that he drove over 300 miles to get it.
So, check your thru axles, make sure they’re tight, and let’s roll!
