This content was originally published in November 2014, and it’s so much fun we’re bringing it back! Expect more new studio shows next week! Happy Labor Day, y’all.
Jeff Everett (the Jeff Everett) is a relatively new Portland resident, but he’s been coordinating bike fun for years. We talk about his early life in the southern US states, the bicycling scene in St. Louis, Missouri, and his move to Spokane, Washington where he established the long-running FBC, a series of rides at night leading from bar to bar, and through some shenanigans. Jeff also fearlessly disassembled our sound board before the show to fix an issue, like a champ.
Check out the great short form documentary about Spokane’s FBC, Keep It Simple, on Vimeo.
Also: Brock & Team Sincerity do Cranksgiving, and Aaron goes to see Cold Specks.
