#WeRideWhyRadio is a bi-weekly audio magazine hosted by Greg Roth & David ”The Rocket” Richter. #WeRideWhy? There are many answers to that question many ride for a myriad of reasons. Of course, cycling is a lifestyle as well. The aesthetic is as important as the functionality when it comes to bikes, kits, styles whatever. Music and art are part of our culture, because cycling is an art-form. Bikes are pieces of art. Like every human being, every bike no matter how old or what style is beautiful and magnificent. Cycling has altered our lives in a positive way and continues to. Greg and David bring what they have learned from their life‘s journey‘s into other areas and share the experience with others. This inspires people to take action whatever that action is, to new possibilities and ways of being…living our live to the fullest and having communities’ function. Greg and David will chat with interesting guests from the music, art, cycling and athletic world to delve into the intricate and interesting perspectives on training, living, overcoming obstacles, fulfilling on commitments and having success (in whatever way you define it) in life. We look forward to riding with you on this journey and thank you for listening!

On the first episode of 2021, Greg and "Rocket" talk about their participation in the Rapha Festive 500 and what they learned about themselves in the process.
In the second half, we interview Author, KT Tsering. KT, wrote an amazing book about called, "Courage Fearless Talent", the life story of professional cyclist and friend, Bennett White.
"The book came about because Bennett wanted to have his life story told and was thinking about approaching someone to write it. When we met in January 2016 and he told me about his tragedy, it simply came together. A week or so later I came back with an outline for the book with the exception of the final chapter as we thought he would see the book published.
Bennett was an elite cyclist and an ordinary man who searched to find his path from an early age, which turned out to be psychic healing. He became intensely focused, rejected superficial spirituality, raised his family and built structural legacy items then crashed into despair only to re-emerge on a foundation of running and his beloved cycling before being diagnosed with lung cancer. The story explores his journey, his responsibilities, how he embraced his healing process and how he prepared for dying. The testimony from those whose lives he impacted are his parting gift to the rest of us."
Bennett will also be featured in the forthcoming film, #WeRideWhy
Music by Deep Sea Diver, Blake Noble, Herbie Hancock & Shakespear's Sister
