A number of us emailed NPR suggesting that the interview on Talk of the Nation with Gary Rivlin from Wired magazine was a bit misleading. Well, it paid off!
I got a call this morning from NPR (I just happened to take the day off!) asking me questions about how I use mine, how maneuverable it is (he seemed to think it wasn't), whether it was worth the money, etc., and whether I'd give an interview to Neal Conan for a follow-up piece. I said I would, and Mr. Conan called just before noon. I was a little nervous, but think it went pretty well. His first question was about what I use it for, and I mentioned that I had ridden it to the gym this morning. He said something like "Well, so much for the no exercise argument, huh?"
It's a short piece, and I wasn't very eloquent, but at least it comes from an actual owner.
So listen in on Monday, or on their web site after it airs.
