Sometimes our bike tours mean sharing the road with a lot of motorized vehicle traffic... on this episode, some tips and tricks on how to bike tour on busy roads. Hey, I'm in Italy when this drops! Look for the Pedalshift Goes Italian episode next week!   August 30 - LIVE show!Check it out at pedalshift.net/live. Probably will be covering my to-be-announced August tour, plus an AMA.   Look for that tour announcement in the next few weeks on the show...

Spydy22r via Apple Podcasts ·United States of America ·06/21/2019   What a fun ride! Love this podcast and it’s a lot of fun to follow Tim on his cycling journey. I’ve been cycling for over 40 years (Oy...) and it’s great to hear the enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and high energy! Keep up the good work and keep the rubber side down my friend! -Rob from Philly bsjry875#^¥] via Apple Podcasts ·United States of America ·06/20/2019   Island in a storm AKA Inspiration I found this podcast after listening to the amazing Portland crew (Sprocket Podcast) and found this island full a wealth of information about bicycle touring wrapped in inspiration. I was getting ready for the adventure of a lifetime and needed help with everything if I was to pedal the Upcoming 600 mile Pacific Northwest (I made it by the way). This is the podcast filled with “Why Not” attitude that replaces doubt with knowledge. If you are looking for a guide to manage and prepare for a touring adventure look no further. As I prepare for next adventure of having my Hip (ya last time was my knee ... old parts brake lol) replaced you better believe this is a comforting island in this storm I’ll be listening to prepare to ride again. Your in for a treat if you join in and listen. MrHart XSpEd via Apple Podcasts ·United States of America ·06/05/2019 Toulouse listener Thanks for all the great tips and content . Brian in Toulouse via Apple Podcasts ·France ·04/19/2019   The Lab - Bike Touring on Busy Roads Practice near home Take a class at an LBS or bike club Time your ride Get a mirror Be visible The pool noodle trick Be predictable - hand signals etc. Don't be afraid to take the lane (where legal) or get on a sidewalk (where legal) Always remember - you belong on those roads just as much as motorized vehicles, but you're way more vulnerable so take precautions and stay safe!
