E431 – Norm & Brad Do a Multimodal Commute

Norm & Brad are commuters with a twist: they cover some ground by car from their faraway homes and then transform into bicycle commuters at the state line!  Brad wondered for years who this person was – and, as it turns out, so did Brock!  Norm is the smartest guy in the room, and involved with Bikes For Humanity. We talk commuting tips, raingear, and innovative solutions to traffic bottlenecks. As always, thanks to our drink sponsor The Beer Mongers & our generous Patreon donors.
