Ope! Bikes.
It's pretty straightforward. Riding and racing bikes has brought me tremendous joy and has transformed my life for the better. And I know I'm not alone in this...
Ope! Bikes. is a podcast, well, about bikes. It's a collection of stories and intimate conversations with members and participants of the cycling community. It's the deep-dive into how bikes can act as catalysts for personal development, healing, social and civil rights advocacy, environmental action, community building...the list goes on and on.
The goal of Ope! Bikes. is to bring these stories and conversations to life and to provide a platform for guests to express themselves as impassioned advocates of the bicycle.
I hope you enjoy the show!

You Should Know Kayce Peters
Do you know Kayce Peters? You should.
Kayce is a friend, cyclist, USA Cycling official, and a pillar of the St. Louis cycling community. Not only is Kayce from St. Louis but he's been around long enough to see the community evolve and grow. Kayce's contributions extend far beyond his personal pursuits. As a USA Cycling official and dedicated advocate to the cycling community, you can find Kayce scoring points races on Thursday evenings at Penrose Park Velodrome or officiating our local, and regional, criterium races.
In this episode we dive into Kayce's formative years as a fixed gear bike messenger, Big Shark employee, and how he's grown into the position he's proud of today. We 'wax nostalgic' on what the St. Louis cycling scene looked like in years past and talk about what we think lie ahead.
Recording is easy when it's with your friends. Enjoy the show!
