This week Coach Rob has an old friend on Bench Talk. Take a listen to learn about what Bike shop mechanics go through and how our old friend gets around town.

Coach Rob and his friend Tom Armstrong, long time Louisville Bike Mechanic. Talk bike shops, mechanical issues, bike commuting and swap some old stories.

Check out some pics below of Tom’s bikes and cargo loads!

• Picture of me on my Bacchetta Strada, just before Ride Across Indiana (not sure what year).
  One of my handyman loads on the Big Dummy with trailer.
• My newer kayak the night I brought it home.
• A load of cardboard going to recycling–probably 420 or 450 pounds
• A web-generated picture of my Brompton folding bike (screen grab from the Brompton site as I was configuring the bike through their builder)
