I’d really like to hear Carlton interviewed by Brock and Aaron at TheSprocketPodcast.com.
I think his books would be of interest to The Sprocket’s audience and I think a connection with the non-Fred bike-utilizing community would yield something interesting.
Hi David and Spokesmen,
Re: Cyclist behaving badly
I enjoy your podcasts; they make workday more enjoyable.
On long bike rides, I have encountered cars with bikes on a bike rack or just sporting an empty bike rack, over-taking in an aggressive manner. Sadly this is a common occurrence.
In California, Bay Area where I live, motorcyclist and bicyclist love to ride the same two-lane mountainous roads. I found motorcyclist have a great camaraderie with the bicyclist and are polite about sharing the roads.
I am baffled as to what mentally happens to some cyclist when they become drivers. Do they expect tolerance to only them (and their friends) when they are on the road and all other bicyclist be damned?
Spokesmen, what are you thoughts and experiences?
I enjoyed this episode. I’d like to expand on Jim’s tip and mention that Catlike also has rain shells for some of their helmets.

Could you include a non-Facebook link to the “Who is Behaving Badly in This Video? Cars or Bikes?” That reported has most of his stuff on YouTube but I could not finds it in his uploads.
We looked before the show and couldn’t find it. Sorry!
