E505 – Chris For Metro!

March 7, 2020Advocacy, Bicycling, Housing, Infrastructure, The Law, Transit, Urban Design, Volunteeringsprocketpodcast

Chris Smith is a favorite repeat guest, and while we know he’s an incredibly smart guy, the general public is about to learn how much he can help the Portland region! Chris is tossing his hat into the ring in the upcoming May election for Metro Councilor in the regional government that helps to regulate transportation, housing, and environmental matter, among other things. There are some times when it feels good to be an independent platform, and we are excited to endorse him as the best choice for the job. Listen to our chat with him here, read the great recent BikePortland article about his campaign, and visit chrisformetro.com to dive into supporting him!

E443 – “Fast” Riding on the West Side

December 14, 2018Advocacy, Bicycling, Car Ownership, Commuting, Housing, Infrastructure, Transit, Urban Designsprocketpodcast

note: this episode features a single microphone due to logistical difficulties. we apologize for the audio quality, but we will return to our usual microphones soon!

Naomi Fast lives on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area, and is an advocate for bicycling options in a community that isn’t always tailored to safety for human-powered options. She talks about getting started on a no-car lifestyle, getting into and out of the suburbs, advocacy, and those little pass-though links you can discover in a gnarled web of cul-de-sacs.

As always, thanks to our drink sponsor The Beer Mongers & our generous Patreon donors.

One year ago, Aaron turned a year older and a few friends gathered at the studio after a recording to celebrate the anniversary of Montana’s statehood. Aaron has a special connection to that day, and we wanted to mark the occasion. Present were Aaron & Anna, Guthrie, Armando, Brock & Adele, and we’re sharing a minimally edited version of a live mic in the room with all of their permission. You get to be a fly on the wall for this celebration.

New studio show coming later this week. Enjoys!

E345 – Megan Ramey from Bikabout

March 21, 2017Adventure, Air Travel, Bicycling, Car Ownership, Family, Fun, Housing, Touring, Train Travel, Transit, Travel, Urban Designsprocketpodcast

Megan Ramey had a vision to simplify the good trip. Why fret over car rentals, unfamiliar expressways with angry drivers, and spend half of your time dreading the drives to come when you could explore cities the way they are best experienced – by bike? She and her family have been living the dream for some time, guiding others into relaxing, human-scaled city tours with their travel guides, and getting there in style on Amtrak. We get the skinny on Bikabout.

E300b – Heinz Stücke Travels The World for 50 Years

May 27, 2016Adventure, Beer, Bicycling, Camping, Communication, Downsizing, Fun, History, Housing, Kitchen, Simpler Living, Touring, Travel, Weathersprocketpodcast

For part of our 300th episode gala, how could we possibly avoid sharing the many stories and perspectives of one Heinz Stücke, especially when he came to Portland?

Heinz is promoting his new book, Home Is Elsewhere, as he cycles across America. He’s been everywhere, man, and has some wisdom to share on nearly every aspect of living on the road. He’s been sponsored by Brompton, everyone’s favorite folding bicycle company, since 2009, who has helped bring his book to the presses and on to the public!

Thanks to Clever Cycles in Portland, Oregon for hosting this informal session. Like we said, he’s been everywhere, so this Q&A lasts for almost two hours. Our recording got the whole room so it’s a little echo-y. But it’s all good stuff! We hope you enjoy hearing from this legendary icon of bicycle touring.

Oh yeah, Shawn Granton did a write-up on this event too!

And if you want even more Heinz, former Sprocket Podcast guests Travelling Two also did an interview with him back in 2010!

Well, this is it. We made it to 300 episodes, and, rather than go big with a live event like we have for previous milestone episodes, we decided to go small and dive into our own internal process on bicycling, the simpler life, and our relationship with you, the listener. Brock & Aaron do a little intro banter, and then both of us recorded monologues that we hope are enlightening, encouraging, and express our grateful attitude toward your repeat visits to our little show every week.

Thanks so much for listening! We wouldn’t be here without you.

also: Brock hiked in central Oregon and tried to help a phoneless guy, and Aaron saw lifetime bicycle tourist Heinz Stucke. Look for audio from his appearance atClever Cycles in our feed soon!
