Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Bikes for Death podcast. As always, my name is Patrick,

and I am your host. And I hope everybody is doing well out there. I am still getting over this

stupid cold that has been plaguing me for the last couple weeks. And yes, it is a cold. Every

single person I tell that I'm sick, they say, is it COVID?

Say, nope, it's not.

I got tested.

I'm vaccinated, but guess what?

Apparently you can still get fucking corona even if you're vaccinated.

So was doubly sure that I don't have the COVID, just a really mean cold.

So I apologize for my voice. And I want to give a special thanks to my editor, Ben Crannell, who did an amazing job on this episode of editing out my coughs.

This episode is a little choppy in a few places because that's him having to edit out my coughing

and all that. So apologies for that,

but definitely on the up and up. So I hope everybody is staying well, healthy, and getting out

there and riding your damn bikes. Now, first off, I'd like to give a thank you to all of the

newest sustaining members of the Bikes

Essentially, these are my new bosses.

So let's welcome Thomas Sutton, Derek Atkins, Mike Wallace, Joe, oh shit, oh, that's a hard one.

Joe Vaketich, John Hickman, oh, shit. Oh, that's a hard one.

Joe Vaketich, John Hickman, Kyle Farshaw, Randy Wintel, Kyle Anstein, and... Oh, I love you guys.
