Summary: The topic of this podcast was submitted to me by a listener so let me start by saying "Thanks, Sean". He appears to have a lot of knowledge on the topic of Survival Bikes and has posted a great article here: http://www.yunt.net/blog/?p=434 Be sure to check it out! Bicycles are great tools to have on hand in "normal" life, and could be even more valuable in a disaster situation. In this episode I discuss a variety of factors relating to the selection and usage of bicycles for survival purposes. I also suggest a few ways to pick them up on the cheap and how to gather equipment/tools, etc. to keep them running for long periods of time. And, of course, I chose some appropriate "outro" music for the end of the podcast as well. ;) BTW... Sean also recommends the following sites as "virtual bike repair encyclopedias": sheldonbrown.com and parktool.com You might want to spend a little time on those sites perusing their available information if this is a topic you are interested in. :)
