2011 MAYORS’ RIDE SPONSOR KIRK NEWELL PODCASTED

Audio file published on June 13, 2011

We went to the Southern California desert to talk to a new sponsor for our Eagle / Busycle ride from San Jose/San Francisco to Boston. Indeed you will take inspiration from Kirk Newell, a bike shop owner who has used tragedy to move mountains with his actions in a way all of us can take example from.

Image1983 at the IHPVA championships held in Carson, CA, which also featured events on the newly built Olympic Velodrome, Kirk Newell hit 46.3 mph in the 200 meter sprint on the Tadpole Trike pictured above. It earned him 6th place in the world! He was the only non-national class rider in the top 10 at this event!!
