I wanted a place for all cyclists at all levels to come together and share their journeys. /djs - I've been a meta dj for a minute. I wanted to build more community wl the channel and so @robin brought me on to co-host. /chicagolife - I created this so I don't have to use no channel 3. What am I working on?
