Ayleen Crotty is preparing for the 13th annual Filmed By Bike! This year it’s at a new location in the Hollywood Theatre and promises to be every bit as exciting as its previous iterations, including a sweet street party at Velo Cult Bike Shop. She also shares a little of her experience as an AirBnB host.
Thanks to our beverage sponsor, The Beer Mongers, and, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!
Also: Brock assembled a sound system using a handy instructable, and Aaron picked a twitter fight with a controversial journalist.
