E463 – Cliquey Bike Scenes

Friend of the show Patrick Mok joins us to chat about a topic he’s been considering: how do you get friendly with people in Portland’s social bicycling scene?  He shares some solid wisdom on the topic. We also discuss commutes and rain gear. Also, Guthrie is traveling so Brock Dittus joins this episode as cohost. As always, thanks to our drink sponsor The Beer Mongers & our generous Patreon donors.
