Tim Taylor is taking a little lonesome trip for the homeless. By little, we mean a 10,000km journey that takes him from Melbourne to Uluru, roughly following the 2016 Race to the Rock route. From Uluru to Albany following the 2017 Race to the Rock route in reverse, and then will follow the Indian Pacific Wheel Race route back to Melbourne. He's doing to all this to raise money and awareness for the homeless, Adam caught up with him 5,000kms into his journey - get behind him via the links below.

Kerry Staite is the owner and founder of kLite. I've been a customer of his for a couple of years and have followed him on social media (@klite_dynamo_power on Instagram) with growing curiosity. It was this post that made me reach out to him immediately:
"This is ME, I am kLite
I wear no shirt of social conformity.
I wear no hat to hide my hairless shame
I am flesh and blood, I am free to be me.
I am kLite" ~ Kerry StaiteI pictured him as a mad scientist inventing cool electronic gadgets that are beyond my ability to comprehend. While I do still see him as a mad scientist type, he does an excellent job of explaining his products and how they work.
After interviewing him for two hours I can confirm the statement he made in that Instagram post, "I am free to be me." He shared his ideas and perspectives without hesitation or fear of any backlash. It was refreshing.
It was also informative. He is a wealth of bike and life knowledge that has come through a lifetime of experiences. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed our conversation.
My favorite quote from the podcast was, "I don't give a shit if all I have is a bag of rice. As long as I get to do something I love that makes me happy."
We will be recording another episode in the near future. If you have some questions for Kerry drop them in the comment section below and I'll get you answers!

Rebecca Vader set off on her bike a little over two months ago on what she called The Freedom Tour. She didn't have a destination in mind, just a bike and her adventurous spirit. On this episode we learn where that combination leads. She has a unique approach to life that is refreshing on some level and intimidating on the other. Our conversation had me looking inward to check in with myself at different times during the chat.
I didn't know anything about her (except what I saw on instagram) before our interview. However, I quickly realized I was talking to a different type of human, one that finds her own path in her own way. As you'll hear that doesn't mean life is perfect or easy, but you already knew that. You will hear some great quotes like, "Wait! You are telling me there is a bike I can ride anywhere I want?!?!" and "I just went to fucking life school"!
After our talk Rebecca sent some great pictures that really give a sense of what her tour was like. If you want to put visuals to the words in this interview, check out some of Rebecca's pictures here.
I love talking to all the different personalities that make up this great sport. There are so many ways to recreate and participate and they are all good. It's up to you to find our own path....maybe you can steal some ideas from Rebecca....

They've given away all their possessions, swapped their house for a 3 man tent, and packed what's remained onto their bikes for a grand cycling adventure. Starting in Port Douglas with a reccy of the 2019 Race to the Rock course, in this Podcast Sarah and Jesse explain what they've been upto, what they are testing for Curve and how they are managing in their new home.

Getting to talk to Kurt Refsnider was a true pleasure. His achievements on and off the bike are quite impressive and my conversation with him left me feeling inspired, hopeful for the future of our public lands, and also a little like I could be doing more!
I caught up with Kurt after his win at the Colorado Trail Race. This is a race that he hasn't had good luck with in the past, but this year everything came together for him to claim first place. In doing so, he became the first person to achieve the Triple Crown of Bikepacking, which means that he is the first person to win the Tour Divide, AZT, and CTR. Let that sink in for a second.
In addition to his accomplishments on the bike he is also running Bikepacking Roots, a non-profit focusing on important issues that can and will impact land use and access among other things. The work he and his team are doing is invaluable to us as a community and I encourage you to listen to the podcast and then go to BikepackingRoots.org to become a member and take action on the items they present to the members.
Kurt is a leader on and off the bike and I truly enjoyed his time and what he was able to share.

On this episode I chat with Anna Claire Beasley and Beckie Irvin, creators of Grit Fest: a women’s mountain bike festival going down this November in Arkansas. The three day festival is open to womxn (cis, trans, and non-binary) riders of ALL levels and will focus on skill development, community building, outdoor advocacy and education. The schedule is packed with workshops and clinics, speakers, social events, a gear swap, camping, beer, and more.
Bikes or Death is proud to support Grit Fest as a sponsor, and I’m excited to have these two awesome women on the show to tell us what it’s all about.
Beckie and Anna Claire share a passion for mountain biking and a commitment to inclusivity that really shine through in this interview. I couldn’t agree more with their philosophy that it doesn’t matter what bike you have, what you wear when you ride, or whether your gear is basic or fancy. As their website says: “It’s not about the gear, the kit, or the bike. It’s about the ride + where it takes you.”
In addition to Grit Fest, we also touch on plenty of other interesting topics: the psychology of how different genders learn in sports, the importance of inclusivity in the world of cycling (“If you have a bike, and you ride it, you’re a cyclist”), and the unexpected popularity of women’s ultra-endurance cycling races back in the early 1900’s. If that caught your interest, here's a link to the book we talked about: Women on the Move, the Forgotten Era of Women’s Bicycle Racing.
Grit MTB Festival details:
Nov. 15-17th, 2019
Tickets go on sale Aug. 19th at 9am CST
Spots are still available for sponsors, vendors, and presenters.To learn more, visit www.gritfestival.com or check out gritmtbfestival on Instagram.
“Grit Fest is a 3-day grassroots festival designed to bring womxn (cis, trans, and non-binary) together around the sport of mountain biking. Regardless of skill level, every woman is welcome. In addition to helping you develop your skill set, Grit Fest will focus on building community, outdoor advocacy, and education.”

Our first mini episode... a tid bit we had to share. Below is an email we received today. Our first order via some lyric and rhyme.
"It’s Josh, Emma’s brother. She is coming to visit you today. She is a budding rap artist. But she gets stage fright. She sent me some lyrics for her new Kevin of Steel. But she is too nervous to perform it live for you. I have attached the cover art for the single, and the lyrics so you can rap along. She is very proud of her work. Please excuse my lack of rapping ability. But just know. This is all her. Once you guys have had a chat about the bike etc, maybe ask her to rap it for you if she has relaxed a bit and isn't so nervous."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
