Do you dream about reviewing the newest bikes and equipment? In this episode, Levy goes behind the curtains at Velo to find out how Alvin and Josh ended up testing the latest (and sometimes) greatest gear, and what it's like to ride a different bike every other week.  We dig into Josh's origin story, which includes long-distance rollerblading epics, because of course it does, and how his love of photography led him from commercial car shoots in LA to press camps for new bikes in Europe. Alvin talks about how his time working at bike co-ops shaped his appreciation for the cycling community at large, his background in urban planning, and how he went from covering Sacramento Kings games to Italy to cover Campagnolo's Super Record. The crew also gets into Alvin's weekend crit race, Josh forcing himself to spend time on 50s, and Levy's four-day mission just to ride a single gravel road.
