Biking through Portland, Ore.

This time, the hot van episode! Pedal Hub's first installment recorded outside the studio, at a brewery in a St. Paul industrial park.

Hosts Amber Dallman and Patrick Stephenson interviewed Portland biking activists and epicures Elly Blue and Joe Biel at Bang Brewing. Elly and Joe were in St. Paul as part of their "Dinner and Bikes" tour.

The conversation ranged from gender inequality in biking to putting the so-called 'best bike city' rivalry between Minneapolis and Portland in perspective.

All of this brought to you from inside a boiling hot van, because that was the only quiet place we could find to record!
