The Radavist

Man, Dustin’s been getting a lot of interview love these days. Here’s another one, put on by the Lifers Project.

Brands have master minds behind them. At least Cadence does anyway. Check out how this jack of all trades handles creative control over one of cycling’s most creative brands.

… by Jeff Thrasher at the Team Dream Team HQ. We talked about everything from Pearl Jam tattoos to the what it’s like to live literally on the road for most of the year. Follow along with more of Jeff’s candid and comedic interviews at his Youtube Channel and #SelfieInterviewSeries.

Interviews like this are always so good to gain insight into an artist. Geoff McFetridge is a favorite over here…

People like Derek Wilson are transformed every year at the Dirty Kanza 200. Check out this video to find out how. That race looks like so much fun. See the other four videos at the Dirty Kanza Youtube channel.

A few months ago, my friend Emiliano (of Manual for Speed internet fame) contacted me about doing a quick Guide to Austin for Without Walls. We went to my favorite spots, drank coffee, rode bikes and I had a little interview at my favorite cocktail spot in town. Head on over to the Without Walls blog to read up!

While the standard issue talking head approach to bicycle documentary can get old relatively fast, I found this one in particular to be quite informative. Filmed in Copenhagen and NYC, two cycling hubs, Genre de Vie takes a look at urban life and the empowerment achieved by using the bicycle as a form of transportation.

If you’re an architect, urban planner, or someone who is enthralled by urbanism, give this one a watch for sure.

Poler’s newest newsprint magazine, the Campvibes Communiqué, is now online and features an interview with Erik and myself on the Oregon Outback. Benji from Poler knows us personally, so this interview goes a bit deeper than your standard interview. The Outback was one of the toughest rides I’ve ever ridden and documented, so it made for some juicy content.

Pick up the Campvibes Comminuqué for $5 at Poler.

On a related note: who is planning on doing it this year? I’m thinking it’s time for round two!

The guys at A Maker Tale recently interviewed Kris from 44 Bikes on the life of a framebuilder. It’s a great listen, so check it out at Soundcloud.

As a precursor to my upcoming gallery from the event, here’s CX Hairs with Stephen Hyde’s thoughts on the course…

Eli, aka “extra cream cheese”, is one of the absolute nicest dudes you’ll ever meet. That is, if you happen to go to his shop in Denver, Berkeley Supply. His store sells only made in the USA apparel and even though Eli doesn’t talk about here, or show it for that matter, he’s got one of the sickest bikes from NAHBS last year too!

I hope you’re still riding your Avery County Cross dude.

Keep killing it! Nice video, Adam!

I’m so stoked on the Tenspeed Hero CX team. These women inspire me and others to ride, which is why I love reading insightful interviews, like the team pulled together recently for the TSH Blog. Head over and check it out!

This is great! Here’s some background:

“This video was made in support of The Wolf’s Mouth’s upcoming travel project “FOUNDATIONS.” Its intent is to show the struggles and mental hardships of growing up ethnic, the acceptance of one’s self, and how the joy of cycling is present for everyone.”

See more information at the project’s Go Fund Me.

Ever wonder what makes the crew at Portland Design Works tick? Well, check this out…

From the EPICLY LATER’D series, pro skateboarder (does he need an introduction) Geoff Rowley talks about the joy of bicycle touring throughout America. Check out more of this amazing video at Vice. Thanks for sharing this video Mr Scoltock!

I really enjoyed this one. Here’s some background:

“For Andy Duncan, cycling means freedom and life without it is hard to imagine. As a Scotsman and philosopher who stood at the frontier of bike messengering in the Netherlands his affection for cycling stem from the 225.000 km he travelled through the streets and suburbs of Utrecht during the last 22 years. Two years ago Andy was diagnosed with an aggressive prostatic cancer and was told he had only three years to live. We met Andy just before he moved back to Scotland. Surrounded by moving boxes, he was working on his last bike – battered, but resilient and very much in love.”

Everyone is overdosing on ‘cross right now. It’s like we’re all sitting at our desks, gyrating, awaiting the cowbells and handups. Fueling the fire is Crafted Magazine, as they interview Adam from Stanridge and Marty from Geekhouse at KMC Providence Cyclocross…
