    Still a fan but admittedly had doubts on whether ebike touring is appealing. So far, so good except please Tim ditch the hipster ACOUSTIC bike term!

    Great podcast and I love that it’s easy on the ears without seeming like you need to take out a mortgage to enjoy cycling. Lot of the other bike podcasts seem too elitist but this one is more…regular minded if that’s a thing! Listen ever week

  • Review and suggestion

    Hi Tim, I’ve been listening to your pod for years, mostly while cranking my recumbent exercise bike in my basement, and I enjoy it quite a bit. Thanks for doing it! I’m 76 and, thanks mostly to biking I’m in good shape except for some arthritis, but the best solution for that is to keep moving. So I do! For me, the fun of biking helps me to live longer and better. I also listen to Diane Jenks, the outspoken cyclist. She recently got me hooked on Dr. Gabe Mirkin who is a retired physician who has... more

    I have been a regular listener for a couple of years. I really enjoy Tim’s story telling style and how he mixes in great travel and technique info. I particularly enjoyed the latest podcast episode on California. I was very pleased to find out that he used the Santa Anna River Trail. It was great for us to finally share a common trip location! I was working in Fullerton CA for a little over 3 months in 1987. When I found out this trail was nearby I had my wife ship me my bike. It arrived unsc... more

He started as a commuter who converted an older bike to electric drive to climb hills on the way to work, then expanded into more capable mid-drive setups as his touring needs grew.

In future trips, I would prefer a more bike touring specific bike and have more mechanical knowledge for adjustments.
Best of Pedalshift 321: East Coast Greenway
Q: What made you choose East Coast Greenway for your very aggressive, very completist take on a tour?
