Hello and welcome to the Bikes for Death podcast. As always, my name is Patrick and I'm your host.

And on today's episode, Cheech from Crust Bikes is here and we had a great chat, but don't just take

my word for it. She said it was good too. And I believed her. But she made a post on Instagram recently about how she's been working a lot

and not riding her bike as much as she'd like. And she's got some plans to change that. And her post

really struck a chord with me. I could really relate to what she was going through,

how much they've sacrificed over there at Crust to build that company. And yeah, I really wanted

to bring her on to talk about it. So we had a great time. We talked about bikes. We talked about some big plans and goals that she has for herself.

And yeah, talked a lot about crust bikes, too, if you can believe it. But I just happened to get a crust bike recently. I got a crust evasion.

And it's kind of unrelated to this interview,

is kind of just happenstance. But as a new crust owner, it was especially fun to get to talk to

her and get a chance to ask her some questions. And at one point, she even called Matt and brought

him into the conversation to answer a couple of the

technical questions that I had super technical anyway absolutely blast talking to her we just got off

the phone and I I like her she's cool and I'm glad that she's part of the bike industry and I appreciate

everything that they're doing over there at crust bikes

and just adding their flavor to the community.

Before we get to today's episode,

let's take a moment to thank everybody who made it possible,

starting with our newest patrons.

We had a few sign up this week. So thank you to

Daniel Searson, Corey Echleberger, and we got Broken Spoke Santa Fe. I believe that's Mike Chapman

all the way up from Santa Fe. He just came down and raced the East Texas Showdown and I actually ran into him
