We first learned of Willie Stewart from our previous guest and Author Matt Fitzgerald. Matt's book "How bad do you want it" featured several stories of athletes that have overcome obstacles to achieve amazing success athletically and in life, but Willis's story really stood out in a book full of amazing stories. Willie lost part of his left arm while at work and found an inner fuel that he didn't know he had. Hear his amazing story as he tells it. I promise you his story is not one you will never forget!

Chris Padavana former owner of Eden Bicycles is back for his third appearance on the show. We talk about the factors that led up to his decision to sell the shop right as the covid  pandemic was coming to a close and how he got out at the best possible time as the market has really taken a turn since he has been out of the industry.  Bicycle Retail is challenging for many reasons staffing, long hours, shrinking market, company stores, online sales, etc.. It seems like the Independent Bicycle Retailer (IBR) is being attacked from all angles, but it is not all doom and gloom. We all agree that even with all of the challenges there will always be solid demand for a quality IBR! We also touch on retired life, Chris seems to be adapting to it nicely and he has Dave and I a little Jealous ;) Ahh maybe one day but neither of us can see that just yet.  Enjoy!

This was a special one, getting the chance to chat with one of the original creators of what would eventually turn into the first mountain bike.  Charlie grew up in Marin County and started riding dirt trails on old beach cruisers with some of his friends, Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Alan Bonds, and Tom Ritchey to name a few. The beach cruisers would go thru some heavy modifications to make them work on a local trail that they affectionately referred to as Repack. (Named that because after descending the mountain you would have to repack your rear coaster brake hub with grease as it all got smoked out while trying to descend the trail.) The modified beach cruisers were called Klunkers. The Klunkers were 30's and 40's Schwinn, Excelsior, Colson, etc. cruiser frames that were stretched wide to accommodate gears and drum brakes, forks were reenforced with truss rods, and of course they were stuffing knobby tires on the bikes. We cover some of this and many other elements to Charlie Kelly's prolific career that included starting the first timed Downhill Mountain Bike race, he would later go on to publish the Fat Tire Flyer magazine and help to establish Norba (National Off Road Bike Association) but Perhaps most significantly he authored the book the Fat Tire Flyer. The full history of the evolution of the mountain bike. If you have not read this book yet, I strongly recommend it! It is a fantastic tale of how we got to where we are today with the mountain bike. Charlie truly has the magic touch. Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.
