Greg LeMond

My guest this week is former professional cyclist, 3x Tour De France winner, and entrepreneur Greg Lemond. We explore his career in cycling and get into everything from representing the United States as the first American to win the Tour de France to relaunching his company, LeMond Bikes. Greg talks about growing up with no expectation of ever being recognized by mainstream media and how he’s proud of being a part of a manufacturing revolution with carbon fiber to make cycling more accessible to people everywhere. Plus, he lets us in on how e-bikes make you a bionic person? If his perspective on cycling doesn’t make you want to get out and ride, I don’t know what will!
