Scott Sumpter; Mr. BikeIowa

More than 20 years ago, Scott Sumpter dreamt of a place on the internet where people could go to find fun cycling events, everything from party rides to road races. He put his fingers to work and gave the world a one-page list of hundreds of events throughout his home state; Iowa. But what he really built was a vibrant community of cyclists of all types: trail riders, criterium racers, fat bikers, mountain bikers, cyclocross racers, bar-to-bar riders and everything in between. In this episode we meet the man behind the html coding; Scott Sumpter. We hear the history, challenges, and passion that now spans two decades. BikeIowa.com is a great model for places that are not Iowa, as a way to build a strong cycling community and connect cyclists of all kinds.
