What happens when a leisure cycling trip turns into an unexpected adventure? Join us as we recount tales from a whirlwind trip to Florida, where unforeseen events like my wife's illness and looming hurricanes prompted an early return. Amidst lighthearted quips about Florida's germs, we share community feedback and give shoutouts to Gary Vaughn and Matt Robinson. Inspired by a close call with a vehicle, we're launching a new segment, "Encounters with Cars," inviting listeners to share their stories and strengthen our cycling camaraderie.

Take a scenic detour with us as we relive the Tour de Livingston event, celebrating the beautiful weather and vibrant cycling community in Michigan. We introduce you to Maria Parker, CEO of Cruise Bike, who shares the incredible benefits of their unique front-wheel-drive aerocycles. Maria's inspiring journey, including her participation in Race Across America, sheds light on the comfort and joy these bikes bring, and we dive into a conversation about the transformative power of sports and resilience.

We delve into heartfelt stories of inspiration and fundraising for brain cancer research, motivated by her sister Jenny's battle with glioblastoma. Discover how cycling and the 3,000 Miles to a Cure initiative became a beacon of hope in adversity. As we wrap up, we explore the growing inclusivity within the cycling community, with e-bikes opening doors for diverse groups. From endurance cycling to embracing new passions, this episode is a celebration of the joy and connection found on two wheels, and we express our gratitude to our listeners for being part of the "Road Adventures with Cycling Men of Leisure.
