Summary

While we all love riding bikes, sometimes our vehicles go hand-in-glove with our sport. Today's podcast sees Alica Legget, Mike Kazimer, James Smurthwaite, and I talk about the vehicles that make sense for mountain bikers, vehicles that don't make any sense but that we want anyway, trucks versus vans, tips for good van living, and what kind of bike racks make the most sense.

All right, everyone, hot on the skid marks of last week's e-bite podcast that was inevitably going to rustle some feathers, including my own, I have to admit, we're going to keep talking

0:21.8

about things with motors, which I'm sure we'll go over very well with absolutely every pinker

0:27.9

out there. I'm Mike Levy, and on today's podcast, we're talking vehicles for mountain bikers.

Now, this is a podcast that I've wanted to do for ages now, and I think there's

0:38.1

a lot of riders out there who end up with trucks, vans, and even cars that have been chosen

1:01.2

here, and we love bikes. Sometimes vehicles go hand in hand with our sport. Kasmer, we're going to

1:12.7

because I know that both you and I have lots of stuff to share on that topic.

1:16.9

But maybe for now, do you have one favorite road trip that you can remember?

1:21.4

And why is it that time that we drove to Sedona together in my Delica?

I don't know if that's my favorite road trip.

1:27.4

It was memorable because we had to wear a sleeping bag because it was so cold in the Delica

1:30.5

and it was like wintertime.

1:31.9

So all of us were wearing sleeping bags while we were driving.

1:34.7

And you wouldn't let us drive it because it was such a sketchy vehicle.

1:38.5

And then finally like months later you let me drive it and then I was even more scared

1:42.1

after the fact. Yeah, it wasn't in very good shape during those, during some of those trips.
