  • Episode 4: We're In Bentonville To See What's Working & What's Not!

    Episode 4: We're In Bentonville To See What's Working & What's Not!
    Oct 23 2025

    Our latest episode takes a hard look at Bentonville — how it became the epicenter of American cycling, and where it’s headed next. We were on the ground in Arkansas last week and sat down with three people who know the story better than anyone: Aimee Ross of Trailblazers, former pro cyclist and Bentonville resident Tim Johnson, and Scott King of the Runway Group. Together, they unpack what’s working, what’s changing, and how much farther Bentonville can go with two wheels.
