82. Linda Leary Taylor has been riding a mountain bike that Harry Leary used to own. She has gears. She tried going up a hill that Harry used to conquer on a fixed gear BMX - she is sucking wind - it is not an e-bike. Linda explains that she is “going through my gear like a crazy person” and wonderings, “how did he do this on a BMX bike.” 

   But then she hears, “Sister don’t stop.” - Harry Leary

We invite you to listen to our conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary, with his sister Linda Leary Taylor and Kyle A. Huffman while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
