In the late 70s, Scot Nicol, was a young hippie living on the coast in Mendocino County (CA), when an article appeared about this new “Clunker Bike” movement happening in Marin County, CA and Crested Butte. A handful of guys were essentially retrofitting old Scwhinn bikes to ride on the dirt. Scot reached out to these kindred spirits (now cycling legends: Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly among others) and, basically, they collectively invented what we now know as mountain bikes. It will be 40 years ago this April Fools day that Scot, AKA Chuck Ibis, launched IbisCycles.com with­out mon­ey or a plan. Today, his bikes are considered some of the most sophisticated and coveted ever built, with a waiting list over a year long. Nicol always found a way to turn bikes into art, pioneering a “function follows form” philosophy that has made believers out of everyone lucky enough to ride one of his creations. Inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, and beloved worldwide in the passionate world of riding, Scot still rides every day and defines the idea of turning avocation into vocation. He also happens to be one of Swan Dive's host, Stuart Sheldon's dear friends and favorite people on the planet.

Mike Sinyard is the founder and chairman of Specialized Bicycle Components, an American manufacturer of bicycles with a cult following. In 1974, at the age of 24, Mike Sinyard began putting bikes together from Italian components he imported. He ran an import service, providing these sought after parts to California bike shops. Soon, mountain bikes became more common, but the choice was either a custom built, racey bike or a heavy rebuilt klunker. He knew he could build a viable bicycle for less than custom bikes cost, and thus the Specialized Stumpjumper was born in 1981. Sinyard was inducted to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 1988. The StumpJumper mountain bike was added to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's collection in 1994. He was profiled in the 2007 documentary film Klunkerz: A Film About Mountain Bikes.

This is week 2 in our Road to 400, where we are bringing to you some of the biggest names in motorcycling. This week we talk to champion racer Mert Lawill. He's in the AMA Hall of Fame, the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, he's a Grand National Champion, an innovator, designer and builder. But you probably know him best from the best movie ever made, On Any Sunday. He's got some great stories to share about his years of racing with some of the greats, innovations he made to the frames of race bikes, prosthetic limbs he's built to get amputees back on two wheels, Evel Knievel being a pain in the ass, Steve McQueen saving his hand, and having the first patent on a mountain bike frame for bicycles. He's an all around nice guy too. So take a listen and listen to Mert's stories, and then go watch On Any Sunday again. With Liza, Miss Emma, Bagel and Naked Jim. motorcyclesandmisfits.wordpress.com/ www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits recyclemotorcyclegarage@gmail.com https://www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage

There are people who run and/or cycle, and then there are runners and cyclists.There are runners and cyclists, and then there are racers of those two demanding sports.There are racers running and cycling who are competitive, and then there are those racers who win.There are racers who win, and then there are those successful athletes who are desirable by sponsors and news cameras.There are some of those winning desirable racers who are wired differently, doing shit most people would never attempt. I am talking about ultra-athletes.There are ultra-athletes, and then there is John Stamstad.John and I have known each other for over 25 years and here in episode #10, we both jump straight into the conversation about the huge life issues in each other’s lives that we both share: Depression, addiction, using athletics to help counter-balance our addictions, twice divorced, parenting through both said divorces, fascination with psychology and how our athletic bodies work, a multitude of major injuries and several brushes with death out there doing adventuring, our love for winter sports, and much more. John addresses his addictions, his philosophy on remaining realistic with our goal setting, his scariest moments, and much more. John gets brutally honest and shares details of his life that most people would normally hide from public view, but not John Stamstad. It is a brutally honest talk with the OG of Adventure Sports. Pioneering sponsorship for adventure sports more than 20 years ago, thousands of athletes and adventurers around the world have John Stamstad to thanks for laying the foundation for some of the paychecks they receive today. John’s credentials are too numerous to list but here are a few highlights:Running on foot, John covered the entire 200-mile John Muir Trail which goes through Yosemite, unsupported. John has twice run the UTMB, an ultramarathon race in Chamonix, France up and around the highest mountain in western Europe. John ran 100 miles, unsupported, on the White Rim Trail in Utah, pushing a Baby Jogger full of drinking water so he did not end up as a snack for the desert buzzards lurking overhead. On his bicycle, John’s adventures and accomplishments dwarf his running career:John rode his mountain bike 3,500-miles off-road across the Australian continent including straight through the famous Aussie Outback, just for the challenge of it; one hell of a challenge. In 1999, John decided oh what the heck, why not ride his mountain bike the entire length of the Great Divide Trail that follows the Continental Divide from Banff, Canada to the Mexican border in New Mexico. And while that didn’t seem to be enough of a challenge, John decided to set an aggressive goal of how fast he thought he could do it and keep time for the entire 2,500 miles of challenging mountain trails. This Great Divide challenge that John cooked up would lay the groundwork for the duplicated timed ultra-challenge that still thrives today. And oh yeah, of course, there is the little fact that John in the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.For me, this is the holy shit sentence: John has won the Iditasport bike race in Alaska 8 times. Holy hell.And much more. This dude John Stamstad, a great man, a fascinating human, and an athlete I consider to be in a class by himself. John is now writing a book, hoping to be done in spring 2021. Please tune in to hear the story.

Thomas hat mit Tom Ritchey gesprochen, einem der Pioniere des Mountainbikes. Er hat zusammen mit Gary Fisher und Joe Breeze Ende der 1970er das Mountainbike erfunden. Das ist natürlich etwas vereinfacht dargestellt. Thomas spricht mit ihm über Radfahren, Rahmenbau und die Fahrradindustrie. Die Qualität ist nicht soo gut, aber inhaltlich werden alle Liebhaber der Fahrradgeschichte auf ihre Kosten kommen. Vielleicht wird dies der erste Teil der innofiziellen Serie: „Legenden der Fahrradgeschichte”. Mehr zu Tom Ritchey in der englischen Wikipedia und in der Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.
