E520 – Kurstin Graham from the Reno Bike Project



Kurstin Graham is the author of bikepackingnv.blog and has spent a lot of time helping others find adventure in northern Nevada.  He recently took a bikefishing trip in the Toiyabe Range, among other adventures.  He’s also involved with the Reno Bike Project, which repurposes abandoned bikes following the Burning Man festival, and has spent some time working with the Tahoe to Pyramid Lake Trail – a significant undertaking which runs 117 miles from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake (the Lake being within tribal lands). We’re grateful for the chance to hear about all of these projects, and grateful to Sebastien Poule for connecting us.

ᐸᐠᐊᐧᒋᓂᓂ (“bugwajiniinii”, or Dan) has been with The Sprocket Podcast since its beginning, and has years of experience in bicycle maintenance, riding, instruction, advocacy with Bike Bemidji, and coffee outside.  We had the pleasure to ask him about his experiences and perspective as an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe as we spoke with him for this recording – he in his hand-built tiny house and we in our respective locations.  We also briefly addressed #boatmonth.  Follow his adventures and projects on Instagram at @bugwajiniinii.

E518 – SprocketShift Draft 2020



We joined Tim at the Pedalshift Project for an edition of his Bicycle Tour Draft, a “fantasy draft pick” exercise in which we assemble our hypothetical gear for a hypothetical tour.  As with any fantasy sport, the competition can get heated, and small things turn into big things!

Cast your vote for the winner – Tim says:
“Winner will be determined by fancy RANKED CHOICE VOTING, a super cool and superior way to vote. Click here to rank your top 4 (just drag and drop the names in order) and the winner is crowned! We’ll tally results at midnight on July 1st.  Again… you have the rest of June eastern time to vote… who has the better tour setup?”


E513 – Tim Mooney, not touring, and SprocketShift Happy Hour #5 SCHOOL NIGHT



Tim Mooney joins us as a perennial friend of the show and, of course, host of Pedalshift, the definitely best show on the internet about bicycle touring!  He recently completed a “wilderness style” no-contact tour of the C & O Trail near Washington, DC before the campsites were closed, and ruminates with us on the future of bicycle touring after a global pandemic affects us all.

We also present as the second half of this episode the SprocketShift Happy Hour #5 we conducted together right after taping the show, talking about how we’re spending our “school nights.”
