You can probably tell I’m a bike rider–a lover of the beauty of riding my bike anywhere I can. I’m such a nerd that I just created a YouTube channel showing my bike rides in suburbia (called Ian Stewart Cycles).

I often fantasize of going to the Netherlands and to Amsterdam to ride the city streets. So when I heard that two members of the Dutch Cycling Embassy were visiting Richmond, Virginia to share their knowledge, I wanted to make sure I went to an open house at Richmond’s beautiful Main Street train station.

So, here’s an audio diary of my afternoon hanging out at the open house with the Dutch Cycling Embassy.

Speaking of checking things out, if you like world music and other tunes, be sure to check out my weekly streaming show called Ian’s World O’ Music, found on MixCloud. For 17 years, I had a two-hour, weekly wms on a public radio station, so I know how to groove. And, I have another podcast, called History Reinvented, which is about the history and future of Mayo Island and Bridge in Richmond–go check it out wherever you listen to podcasts.
