On My Bike Podcast

In this episode, Craig and Hart are at the Rusty Spokes Bicycle Company in Pataskala, Ohio for a conversation with the owner, Nick. Nick has over 20 years experience as a bike mechanic and opened Rusty Spokes five years ago, one month before COVID. Please consider Rusty Spokes for future bike maintenance needs or if you are considering purchasing an e-bike. We can attest that Nick is an expert on both topics.

In this episode, Craig and Hart discuss many of the wonderful people they have met over the years while cycling. While there are too many to name, the individuals mentioned in this episode truly show that you meet the nicest people when you're on a bike.
