Stage 58 - A Big City Gathering

Bike Shop Society

Joe and Danny are back, and they are joined by their good friend and frequent contributor, A.J. LaTrace. Danny has returned from Spain and dove straight into the Midwest racing circuit. Hear about his exciting adventure climbing up to Sa Calobra in Mallorca one week, and then jumping into a criterium on the south side of Chicago the next. A.J. is always on the hunt for cool bikes on Marketplace, and this time he scored a sweet Shinola city bike. Sure, it's a dad's bike with fenders, but he's a dad and the fenders come in handy, so why not? And finally, Joe thinks the bike industry is missing the boat on bike touring. There's an undeniable interest in it from customers at the bike shop, but why is the industry so slow to react? The boys discuss the reasons why. Hold on, keep pace, let's get on with the ride!
