Finding period-correct tires has become next to impossible or prohibitively expensive when restoring vintage mountain bikes. Bike industry veteran and vintage bike enthusiast, Wakeman Massie, recognized this void and founded House of Looptail to fill it. Wakeman has painstakingly recreated some of the most iconic tires in mountain bike and BMX history.In today's Bikes and Big Ideas conversation, Wakeman talks about some of the other well-known products he designed before getting into vintage tires, like the Travel Agent, Tooth Fairy, 1x1 Blowerdrive, Surly Singleator, and the legendary Surly 1x1 frame. Wakeman and Simon discuss the challenges of recreating tires when the drawings and molds no longer exist, why the new tires are better than the old ones, why vintage mountain bikes deserve to be ridden and not thrown in the landfill, and a whole lot more.

"Travel can transform communities and lives around the world... Imagine if we got to a place where people can go on holidays as their way of giving back." - Bruce Poon Tip I’m excited to bring on the show a figurehead in the world of travel whose passion — which is not unlike mine, or many of the prevailing motifs of this show has actually influenced the global perspective of what’s possible through the act of travel. Bruce Poon Tip is the CEO of G Adventures, the world's largest independent tour operator — doing over 1,000 small group experiences for over 100,000 travelers a year across all seven continents.  They’ve been named by National Geographic Adventures as the best ‘Do It All Outfitter’ on Earth, and are among the Top 100 Employers and 50 Best Managed Companies. They’re also champions of sustainable and responsible tourism which I’m sure we’ll get into. More importantly, perhaps — is what they believe about the importance of travel. On their website, it says — “If you share a lust of life and have an insatiable curiosity about truly experiencing the world we live in, then join us and embark on a quest for the extraordinary.” What we cover: How an independent trans-Asia trip inspired the idea for a travel business that eventually became GAdventures. How Bruce realized the opportunity for a new form of travel, over “tourism”, back in 1990. What Bruce thinks will be the future of travel, and his dream for the travel industry to aid global poverty Bruce’s perspective on purpose-driven travel. What Bruce’s book on business, Looptail is about. Why GAdventures waited 22 years to launch tours in Australia.
