It’s a long shot, but …
I’m looking for the guy who passed me on Southern yesterday afternoon, late in the afternoon, just past Highland. Â To the guy: You were riding a black and white mountain bike – I couldn’t get a look at the make or model – wearing white plaid shorts, a dark t-shirt, and a white back-pack. Â You complimented me on my panniers as you passed and I said thanks. Â Then you sped off, leaving me in the dust. Â (Apparently I need to work on my cadence.)
Anyway, the reason I want to talk to you – and lots of other commuter cyclists in Memphis – is that in July I’m starting a new feature on my blog. Â Once a month or so I plan to interview a fellow bike commuter in Memphis about what it’s like to be a bike commuter in Memphis. Â I’m interested in talking to people of all kinds, new cyclists and experienced ones, in-town and suburban, old and young … you get the idea.
So, if you’re interested in being interviewed, leave me a message in the comments. Â I already have my July interviewee lined up, but after that I am wide open.
Thanks!
Been commutin’ for about three years straight – be glad to be interviewed if ya wanna!
Awesome! You are Mr. August. Email me at doug (at) bikinginmemphis.com and we’ll set up the interview.
I’m an architect and I bike to work when I can, not as much as I want, because of out of office meetings from time to time.
Thanks Joe! I might have to interview more than one cyclist per month at this rate, but if you want, September is yours.
Hey Doug, I think that was a dude named David, black and white Trek 6000 with a red water bottle cage.
I know too much…
Yes Cort, yes you do. But if you can forward my blog to him, or just tell him about it, that would be swell.
I’ll try.
I’m a lifelong bike commuter when I don’t need my truck for work, first in the Bay Area and then here in Memphis since 1990. Scott Banbury 619 8567
Thanks Scott! You are now Mr. October. I’ll be in touch soon.
Hi Doug – If you’re looking for someone out east, I’m an immigration lawyer who lives in Germantown and commutes to my office in East Memphis. I’m an all-year recreational cyclist who started bike commuting this spring and am trying to ride my 7 mile commute each day.

Hi Greg!
By all means, I’d love to talk to an east Memphis commuter cyclist. How about if I schedule you for November?
