I know this isn’t exactly breaking news, but thought I’d share a recording I made at the recent National Bike Summit.

In this audio clip (below), you’ll get a great sense of Blumenauer’s personality. I think you’ll enjoy hearing him tell about his run-in with Newt Gingrich on a treadmill and the historical perspective of his ongoing struggle to bring transportation equity to Capitol Hill.

Here’s the clip* (length 4:30):

(*When he mentions “John” he is referring to Trek President John Burke.)
