InnerTuba Jon Hodkin & "The Ataxian" Kyle Bryant & gEOFF wOOD/tHE gLYDE VELO

He plays the tuba. You probably know the type. Just your typical Englishman living in Scotland who is a trike riding, massive trailer pulling, music evangelizing, school concert playing kind of guy. His name is Jon Hodkin and we meet him and learn about InnerTuba's upcoming summer tour of America.
The Ataxian is Kyle Bryant. It is also an award winning documentary that I urge you to watch. Kyle has a debilitating neuromuscular disease which has failed to stop him from reaching a number of remarkable goals including riding and finishing the Race Across America on his trike. He is truly an inspiration to thousands of folks. Kyle is with us today to share his story and talk about his new book called "Shifting into High Gear". Gtrikes is the Australian company which has bought the rights to the Greenspeed Glyde velomobile. Owner Geoff Wood is with us to talk about their plans for the new Glyde. |
