#95- CAN we really get along? CAN cars & bikes co-exist?
Sunday 02-21-2010 5:44pm CT
a week ago friday, bsox, a co-host of the morning moose on lazer 103.3 suggested bikes have no place on the roads. period. it stirred a hornet's nest, and last thursday, i appeared on THEIR show to share MY views. tonight, they come here for an extended discussion of rights and wrongs. #94 - 3 guys look ahead to the 2010 season: a junior, a pro, & a nut case
Sunday 02-14-2010 5:25pm CT
we will have two looks ahead to the upcoming 2010 bike racing season. one perspective will be from junior racer tyler rushing, and the other from a former nebraska cyclist-turned pro racer, tim farnham.
* * * * *
we might get a third quite different glimpse at the upcominjg cycling season from someone who has recently admitted that he has "a problem with cyclists"--LAZR 103.3 morning DJ BSOX. IFF he can get permission from his program director. the funny thing is he did NOT need his program director's permission to launch an on-air assault against area bicycle riders last friday on his morning show. whjat kind of crap do they pull on these area stations? #93 - two juniors look forward to 2010 & more
Sunday 01-31-2010 5:31pm CT
i have in-studio guests again today, junior cyclists theo loo and vance fletcher. we talk about how they got into bicycling, what led them to race bikes, and what lies ahead in their cycling futures. do their stories sound like yours? what advice would you offer them, or young cyclists you might know? what can YOU do to increase opportunities for these and other young cyclists? listen, and let me know if you have any suggestions.
#92- an hour with "the explainer" - charles pelkey
Sunday 01-24-2010 5:36pm CT
we spend what i hope will be the first of many episodes with charles pelkey, a guy who, like me, has done a whole lot of different stuff during his life. we'll be talking about some of them tonight, and in weeks to come. check him out at velonews; he's "the explainer."
* * * * *
that's a pretty cool title, i think. i'm just "the mostly reverend" or "the devil" or some other mischievous monikers. "the explainer" seems like a guy you'd run into in a science lab, not on the #1 radio cycling show in america.
* * * * *
maybe he's got some 'splainin' to do.
#91 - an hour with tom zirbel
Sunday 01-17-2010 5:39pm CT
i spend the hour talking with native iowan tom zirbel, getting an up-to-date on a professional cycling career, on hold.
#90 - Jason McCartney, and jon severson [of peak region cyclist's 2d annual bike show]
Sunday 01-10-2010 7:20pm CT
whew! i begin the hour talking with jon severson, a former midwesterner now living in denver, colorado. jon started PEAK REGION CYCLIST, a bicycling magazine, nearly two years ago, and is planning the second-annual peak region cyclist bicycle show for march 6, 2010, in colorado springs. listen to learn why this show is a great one to attend. [and it IS a great one to attend.] . . . . we conclude the show with a 45-minute conversation with long-time professional cyclist jason mccartney. jason, who recently inked a one-year contract with the new radio shack professional cycling team, re-joins the johann-lance show. he has spent the past several weeks preparing for another gruelling pro season by--cross-country skiing! jason and i tlak about all sorts of things in the all-too-short segment, but we cover a LOT of ground. . . . . next week, an hour with tom zirbel.
#89 - i KNEW this was gonna happen!
Sunday 01-03-2010 7:09pm CT
psychic suz, who i THOUGHT was scheduled for tonight, was unavailable. but i DID speak with her before the show, and . . . .
******
she'll be with us next with. send your questions for pyschic suz.
******
we cover other stuff, too. just not very well, this week. but give it a listen; it makes you appreciate the really good stuff a little better.
#88 - an evening with tyler hamilton, part 2
Sunday 12-27-2009 5:27pm CT
tonight, we continue with our conversation with tyler hamilton. as you recall, in episode #81, we talked about tyler's roots in cycling: how he came to the sport from a collegiate career in downhill skiing at the university of colorado to becoming a collegiate cycling champion at uc-boulder, and on to the us national team for a year before signing with the u.s. postal squad, helping lance armstrong win the first three of his seven tours. as leader of csc, tyler won liege-bastogne-liege and a memorable stage of the tour and finished second the the giro, and my goodness, it's only 2003! * * * we have more--much more--to cover tonight with tyler.
#87 - an hour with EDDY GRAGUS
Sunday 12-20-2009 7:32pm CT
i've wanted to have eddy gragus as my guest for some time. eddy gragus lived the life that many american cyclists can only wish they'd had: he started racing in high school, under the wings of an area collegiate team, and was able to qualify for the american junior worlds team, and start making the connections overseas that allowed him to live and race in france and elsewhere. he was coached by the legendary eddie borysewicz--"eddy b"--and rode for montgomery-bell, u.s. postal service, jelly belly and others. he won the us pro championships--corestates--in 1996, and the season-long US PRO Saturn tour in 1999. this guy's done it--and continues to do it, commuting to work in the boulder area, where he works as a tax accountant, and where he also continues to race--as an amateur master, 40+. who can't relate to THAT?
* * * *
remember that NEXT week, we have the second of TYLER HAMILTON'S appearances on the kim west radio cycling show.

kim west
has been riding bikes for over 50 years, which, he claims, makes him an expert on
just about everything. kim has a diverse professional career that includes
jobs in road construction, welding and childcare.
joining kim will be dr. kelby bethards, a colorado-based physician who can be found every july
somewhere in iowa with kim. despite this, he really DOES know his stuff, and
you likely have read his stuff. but have you ever HEARD his stuff?
