E260 – Sara Dittmer: Three Cities & Some Hair Tips

Beer, Bicycling, Fun, Hair, Simpler Living, Transit, Urban Design

Today in the studio: Sara Dittmer, from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Portland.  We talk comparative city life quality, regional disasters, and also talk shop about what one might do with their hair after a bicycle commute (Adele joins us by phone to clear up some thoughts that two dudes don’t have the experience to comment on).

Also: Aaron’s Mom also joins us! Aaron took Anna and his mom to the Oregon Aquarium.

Thanks to our beverage sponsor, The Beer Mongers, and, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!

JohnnyK shares the Lindy Effect: the longer something’s been around, the more likely it will persist!

PBJMatt: “I’m not ready to go back to a landline, but I do try to make it a point to be present and leave my phone in my pocket when I am among my friends”

Reuben: forest bathing: i.e. being in the woods without your phone.

@GeraldFitt: “I met a girl who said she and her friends stack their phones vertically when hanging out. They all get fidgety wanting to check their phones, but it works.”

E259 – Tim Mooney

Adventure, Beer, Bicycling, Camping, Car Sharing, Cargo, Communication, Downsizing, Fun, Technology, Touring, Train Travel, Transit, Travel, Urban Design

Tim Mooney from Pedalshift is back in town! Strangely, it’s seemingly impossible to get him into the same room as both Aaron AND Brock, so he muses on the possibility that they are the same person.  We are joined by Adele Dittus as a cohost and discuss Portlandy things, long bike rides, and the definition of #notcheating when it comes to adventures.

Go to pedalshift.net for the rest of our conversations:

THE PEDALSHIFT PROJECT 032: BICYCLE TOURISTS WE LOVE (AND THE OTHER KIND)

Thanks to our beverage sponsor, The Beer Mongers (hosting Chris Fest October 20!), and, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!
