In this video, I rode a tandem in LA with a total stranger! Well, not a total stranger. I was on her podcast, Presta Story Valve. We hopped on the Flyer Tandem with Amy and had quite the adventure. We talked about all things cycling, how Amy left the corporate world to become a bike mechanic, how she started her podcast, and perhaps most importantly, how sometimes you just have to put yourself out there to create the life that you want. We talk about Amy’s love for the Los Angeles cycling community, and how the people she rides with embody that adventurous spirit.
