I listened to the piece and thought it was alright. It wasn't long enough though, and I thought the book had a lot more in it that wasn't touched on during the interview. This was brought up but I thought didn't get enough time: A lot of people thing Grant is anti-racing, which from what I have read and heard doesn't seem to be the case. If you are a racer...race and be happy you are competing. The problem lies in the fact that bike marketers and manufacturers are pushing the "racing" aspect of biking in dang near everything they sell. It is a fringe element of cycling and should be treated as such. Heck, I was at a Trek bike shop the other day and was watching their TV, which was showing Trek's marketing videos. All of it had to do with racing. It is a shame. There isn't even a racing club anywhere near the area, so who are they marketing this stuff to? It isn't like Rivs can't be ridden hard and fast either. I ride mine quickly a lot, but I'm not pretending to be a racer trying out for a pro spot.
