The Sprocket Podcast

Aaron & Guthrie are taking a much needed holiday this weekend, and while they are away we bring you Guthrie’s first appearance on the podcast from 2014! New in-studio show next week. Guthrie Straw grew up in Oregon and leads bicycle tours with Cycle Portland Bike Tours when he’s not enjoying longer bicycle tours of his own. After he and Brock met during the Filmed By Bike jury screenings, they decided to record a show together, which also led to some interesting discussion about Ketchikan, Alaska and outdoor leadership dynamics. Also: fossil fuel divestment (OPB & Alison Wiley), former co-host Brandon’s new business Rolling Oasis (now defunct), pedestrian assumptions & motorized vehicle proliferation. Headlines Multimodal Alaska Adventures: some poetry, a bus story, and ruminations on privilege Bike Safe Boston: a field guide to predicting vehicle driver behvior BikePortland: Travel Oregon needs your input on bicycling in the Columbia River Gorge! Mail Robert explains why the London elevated cycleway doesn’t make sense. Card from Richard in TX! JohnnyK says “You can force sound into a persons ear but you cannot make them a listener.” Dan in MN will bike to Portland someday. Ginny twitters about #RAGBRAI. Ethan Seltzer from Pedal Power & E049: saw this article and thought of us. Tim chimes in: “Now THAT’s a cool recumbent!” Stay tuned for our interview with Organic Transit’s Rob Cotter and ELF owner Lorraine later this week!

We fold in two episodes from earlier in the feed from Tad Hara and his friends from Team Japan. In 2016 they competed in the Disaster Relief Trials alongside Team Sprocket Podcast. In 2017 they returned to host the Rice Cooker Ride in which they demonstrated simple food preparation as a practical disaster response skill using a traditional Japanese wood-fired rice cooker. And in 2018 Tad brought more friends back into the studio, which is what we start this collection with. Keep your ears tuned for Tad’s documentary project. He and a friend returned to Portland this weekend to film subjects for a film about the bicycle lifestyle! Aaron & Guthrie made sure to connect him with many special people, many of which you may already know. See you back in the studio next week!

(Mama likes to see her babies eat). -Eric Wiesz: It’s a donut! How could it not go swimmingly, especially on Mardi Gras! -@thelordflores (Ben Flores): Minutes of fun. Hours of drag. -@uncle3418 (Dan Flores): I think it went straight to your hips. -@wendyzworld (Wendy, trail snacker, dirt dawdler): Tastes great but then it feels like a brick in your belly? -@tntmoriv (Mr. T): #glazedolfashioned Best.

Emily & Greg could have spent Valentine’s Day anywhere, but they chose to spend it with us playing a bicycle touring themed board game! The Open Road is a fantastically good time, and we’re including the entire gameplay in this week’s episode because it was just that much fun.

this episode is a rebroadcast of our friend Tim Mooney’s first appearance on the show in 2013! Hope you enjoy – next week we will bring you another seasonal classic.

While he hasn’t found the magic solution yet, he created Pedalshift to begin the conversation among those of us who are interested. We also discuss Portland’s changes over time, the World Domination Summit, and Tim’s bicycle tour down the West Coast.

Naomi Fast lives on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area, and is an advocate for bicycling options in a community that isn’t always tailored to safety for human-powered options. She talks about getting started on a no-car lifestyle, getting into and out of the suburbs, advocacy, and those little pass-though links you can discover in a gnarled web of cul-de-sacs.

One year ago, Aaron turned a year older and a few friends gathered at the studio after a recording to celebrate the anniversary of Montana’s statehood. Aaron has a special connection to that day, and we wanted to mark the occasion. Present were Aaron & Anna, Guthrie, Armando, Brock & Adele, and we’re sharing a minimally edited version of a live mic in the room with all of their permission. You get to be a fly on the wall for this celebration. New studio show coming later this week. Enjoys!

photo credit: @dudeluna We return this week to a perennial topic, popular because it is pervasive: riding in the rain. This edition, Armando brings the bike love and a pizza to the discussion about wet, gear, and drying out. Also Aaron takes a field trip to a pumpkin patch and Guthrie tries out apple cider donuts.

Our most significant podcast ever! This content was originally published in October 2014, and it’s so much fun we’re bringing it back! Listen to the flirtation happening between Aaron & Anna when they were still passing notes in the podcasting studio. We’ll be back in a week with another new studio show featuring Aaron & Guthrie. Anna Olsen used to be a podcast listener from Oklahoma. Now, she’s a guest! I guess she’ll never have to listen again. We’re glad to welcome her to Portland after an education at United Bicycle Institute where she learned to be a bicycle mechanic. Her coworker Justin Miles joins us as well. Also: Drew lends the rain cape! Brock gives it a first go; the Transportastic studio opener is on 10/25 6:30pm at IPRC! Aaron’s still on drugs, and does a very frugal thing followed by a rather infrugal thing. Mail Chris in Chico sends a link to a creative Latvian demonstration of how much traffic cycling can reduce. Chris is also a new monthly donor! So is Dan G.! Kurt, whom Brock met in Copperfield on the OR/ID border, sends in pictures of his full suspension mountain bike. JohnnyK is freaked out by clowns, maybe because of scooby doo’s ghost clown episode. Ethan G asks how to best tell meddling, uninvited advisors to your bicycling style to “piss off.” Fine Print Produced at STREAM PDX thanks to Open Signal music: Ryan J.

Darius is working with a new way to share your things, and keep them too! Omni started as a storage option for people’s extra stuff, but now is also working to find people who want to rent the objects you think are cool, but don’t use all the time; they’re described as “an on-demand access company for things you don’t use every day, but can’t live without” That margarita mixer & those snowboarding pants just sit unused most of the time, why not put them to work earning money for you and making someone else’s life more interesting, while retaining access whenever you need them? “Rent what you want now, store what you’ll want later.” Omni just launched in Portland; Darius breaks it down for us. Also, Aaron celebrates an anniversary & Brock rents a car. After the regular segments Brock laments the end of his regular cohosting duties & they both bag on Dave Matthews.

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.
