Third Coast Cycling Podcast
by Tim O'Malley and Simone Hussussian
Welcome to the Third Coast Cycling Podcast with Tim O'Malley and Simone Hussussian. This podcast is about the people, places and events that make Chicago cycling what it is, as well as bits and pieces on riding stronger, smarter and smoother. We are bringing you this podcast because we feel the Chicago area cycling scene is awesome (except in January and February). We want to share our experiences as well and introduce you to the cool people that make up the Chicago cycling scene. Our podcast will cover topics such as...local races, stories, rides and destinations, teams, gear and components, and more as it relates to local cycling in and around Chicago (and yes, we may even dip a toe into Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa).
