Lititz BMX is excited to announce the launch of a special new podcast episode, “Fireside BMX Chat,” featuring a heartfelt conversation with Linda Leary Taylor, sister of the late BMX legend Harry Leary. The episode is co-hosted by Lititz BMX founder Kyle A. Huffman and his daughter, Anne-Marie Huffman. This unique podcast was recorded on the one-year anniversary of Harry Leary’s passing.
The episode was recorded in a deeply personal setting, as the three of them walked across the London Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona. The conversation offers a rare, intimate look into the life of Harry Leary, moving beyond his public persona as a BMX superstar. Linda shares stories and memories, providing listeners with a genuine insight into who Harry was as a person—his humor, his relationships, and his personal struggles.
The podcast covers a wide range of topics, including:
A brother’s bond: Linda reflects on her earliest memories of Harry, describing him as her playmate and sharing how they formed a close bond due to their family situation.
The man behind the legend: Listeners will hear about Harry’s complex relationships, his passions outside of BMX (including dancing!), and his love for dogs.
The love of his life: Linda opens up about Harry’s relationship with Shelly, the love of his life, and the profound impact her passing had on him.
A lasting legacy: The conversation delves into Harry’s journey with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Linda’s desire to raise awareness about the condition within the BMX community.
A personal memento: The podcast reveals the story behind a signed number plate that originally belonged to Harry, Kyle acquired it and gave it to Greg Mathias, and then it was eventually given to Linda, who now considers it one of her most prized possessions.
The podcast concludes as Kyle, Anne-Marie, and Linda arrive at the Memorial Walk, where they find Harry’s paver and reflect on his life and legacy. The episode is a touching tribute that celebrates Harry Leary not just as an icon, but as a brother, friend, and human being.
“This conversation was more than just a podcast; it was a journey of remembrance and healing,” said Kyle A. Huffman. “Linda’s willingness to share these personal stories with us has given a new dimension to Harry’s legacy, one that I believe everyone who knew him—or who wants to know more about him—will appreciate.”
“Fireside BMX Chat” with Linda Leary Taylor is now available on YouTube and other platforms with new platforms eyed for future releases. Short video reels from the podcast, featuring images that offer additional insight into Harry Leary’s life, are also being released to complement the audio.
