Have you ever faced your worst cycling fears, like being caught in spandex by your boss or encountering a UFO on a late-night ride? This Halloween-themed episode of Road Adventures with Cycling Men of Leisure is packed with spooky tales, hilarious cycling mishaps, and a dash of the paranormal. Join us, Adam and Michael, as we share a listener's thrilling encounter with a car in southern Minnesota, get into the festive spirit with some playful mask banter, and introduce a bourbon that's as mysterious as a werewolf's howl—Moonlight Mayhem.
Our vibrant community of listeners never fails to amaze us, and this episode is a testament to the friendships and laughter that cycling brings. We celebrate heartwarming stories, like Adam and Kelly marking their anniversary in our t-shirts, and dive into the quirky world of DeBrim hats. Columbus, Ohio, becomes the center of attention as we weave through its historical significance and cycling culture, complete with a guessing game that will stump even the most confident quizmasters.
Balancing humor with reflection, we confront the sobering topic of ghost bikes, honoring cyclists lost in accidents and emphasizing the road safety shared by us all. While we reflect on these poignant memorials, we lighten the mood with a comical top 10 list of cycling fears and nightmares. From Strava account hacks to unexpected mud mishaps, get ready to laugh at the genuine anxieties we cyclists face. And as the RAGBRAI-52 logo reveal approaches, we can't help but speculate on its design while reminiscing about our own personal UFO sighting adventures.
