E578 – Racing Bikes with Mateen Richey



 

Photo is a selfie taken by a woman standing on the right. She has light skin and her hair is pulled back and she's smiling. Behind her are a young man with dark skin and a green shirt and another older man with a black hat and small glasses. We talk with Mateen Richey, an 18 year old racer from right here in Portland, about how he got started racing bikes, why it’s easier when you fall in cyclocross, and his plans for college this fall. And Aaron and Joan feel old.
