This episode we talk about bike touring music. It's such a
personal thing, music... but we thought we'd take the time to chat
about musical tastes, its role in our bike tours, and then build a
cool Spotify playlist for your next tour, or to inspire you to
build a new one for yourself.
This special mega-sized pod features
our friends from the Land of Sunshine and Bunnies™️, Brock Dittus
and Aaron Flores of
The Sprocket Podcast.

Yes, we still have a new logo. Nobody's mentioned anything,
which worries me. But then again, I'm 90% sure nobody reads this
part of the shownotes so there's that.

The usual music
The Pedalshift Project theme is America courtesy of
Jason Kent off his self-titled solo album. Check out his band
Sunfields'
album, Habitat, wherever cool music resides. I heard
Jason's new album in January and it is AWESOME. More info when that
drops this spring!
