Hey, adults, we have a quick favor to ask you.

We are conducting an audience survey with our partners at PRX,

and we'd be really grateful if you would take it.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash,

but why to take the survey today?

It'll only take you a couple of minutes.

That again is survey.prx.org slash, but why? Thanks.

This is a great question. I like it.

I've liked it for my whole life, and I still think it's a great question.

This is, but why, a podcast for curious kids from Vermont Public.

I'm Jane Lindholm. On this show, you ask the questions,

It's summertime, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

I hope that means you're finding time to get outside and maybe ride your bike.

Later in the show, we're going to hear from someone who liked riding bikes so much

she made it into a career.

Leah Davison, a former Olympic mountain biker.
