First Crack Podcast with Garrick Van Buren

Darrin’s raced bicycles for probably half the two decades+ I’ve known him. Inspired by Darrin’s USCF My Way post, I asked him to unpack the problems in local competitive bike racing that his points would solve.

Listen to Darrin Homme on Improving Competitive Bicycle Racing [24 min].

I sat down with Mike, Eric, and Pete of Banjo Brothers for the low down on their grocery pannier and what got them started in cycling bags. There’s also some bits in there about how they’re partnering with bloggers like The Fat Cyclist to improve their bags.

Of course, you can buy their bags from Gene over at the One on One Bike Shop.

Hey, Mike & Eric gave me a Banjo Brother’s Mini Seat Bag, listen to the podcast on how it can be yours. Digital Dan Hook over at the Hook Show was the first one in.
