Let's go bikepacking w/ Ryan Van Duzer

Boom! Here it is folks, my first repeat podcast guest, Ryan Van Duzer, and my first video podcast episode. We're talking bikepacking, ultra-running, e-bikes and so much more. We're delighted to welcome back a good friend of Active Towns, Mr. Ryan Van Duzer, to talk about his recent bikepacking adventures and help us launch our video podcast. That's right! We will now feature a video version of a select number of our future episodes that will really benefit from having a visual component. Ryan is the perfect guest for our first video episode because of all his vibrant imagery that he produces on his DuzerTV YouTube channel.    / duzertv   Our First Active Towns Podcast Interview w/ Ryan https://www.activetowns.org/2020/03/1...

Background: Hi Everyone, my name is John Simmerman. I’m a health promotion professional with over 30 years of experience and my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization of how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility. In 2012 I launched the non-profit Advocates for Healthy Communities as an effort to help promote and create healthy, active places. Since that time I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be, in order to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities". This is my personal Active Towns Channel and it features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them. Thanks for tuning in, I hope you find this content helpful.
