"This is not a bike shop, this is a culture bomb" Plain Bicycle is a 6 part mini-series that asks the question; can bicycle culture be imported? The podcast follows a group of Canadians who travel to the Netherlands to fill a shipping container with second hand Dutch bicycles to bring home to Canada. Host Erin Riediger speaks to the Plain Bicycle Project team and Dutch cycling experts Herbert Tiemens and Modacity’s Melissa Bruntlett and Chris Bruntlett. Plain Bicycle investigates why cycling is so prevalent in the Netherlands, what Dutch bicycle culture is and how it may have the power to influence everyday transportation in North America.
