Wheels and Beyond is a podcast where conversations about safer streets, traffic reduction, and how people get around cities motivates us to keep building this awesome community of like-minded people! Add in some urbanism, fairly deep conversations, and whatever else happens to pop up naturally along the way… and you’ve got the gist of our podcast! And when I say “our”, I mean that I’ll be talking with a variety of guests, who, just like you and I, are just regular people living their everyday lives, doing everyday things! This podcast also goes by Wheels & Beyond :)

This charming account of the voyage of two men in a small boat half way round the world from Plymouth to New Zealand in 1953 is a rare insight into a time, not long ago, when sailors had no GPS, electronics, radio or any of the mod cons that we take for granted today. Without lifejacket or a life raft, they 'just took what came along', hand steering all the way, navigating by sextant, hand-cranking their engine and using oil lamps for light at night and for navigation. Sailors will be staggered how primitive conditions were only a few decades ago, even though it was the norm at the time.
