Bike Life Podcast

Meet Seth Davidson who joined us from the side of the road for an intimate interview while on tour.

Seth is a lawyer who has spent his life racing bikes since 1984 and now seeks to be a beacon for truth and introspection. In recent years, Seth has concluded that there is a better life available, so much so that he seeks to spend zero time practicing law and all of his time on his bicycle supporting himself with his writing.

You can find Bike Life on any of your favorite listening apps or use the link below for Apple Podcasts.

Bike Life now ranked in the top 75 podcasts in two categories in Slovenia, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, South Africa, New Zealand and the Netherlands.
