Today I listened to the The Outspoken Cyclist podcast. One of the segments the host interviewed Jock Boyer, the first American to ride in the Tour de France. Jock spends a lot of his time helping Team Rowanda. He talks about the difficulties of a bicycle team coming together in a country that suffered a huge crisis. This is worth listening to. The next time you want to complain about biking in the US think about Rowanda.
