Episode Sponsor
Today’s podcast episode is sponsored by Kryptonite. For over 45 years, Kryptonite has been your high-quality bike lock provider, now Kryptonite wants to help you light your way with their street light series. These are lights I personally sell and have tested. Easy to use mounts, fully USB rechargeable, and I love how some of these lights have side ports to give additional visibility from the side.
