[Recorded April 2nd, 2025]
An alley cat race is a scrappy, DIY, anti-polished urban bike race (think scavenger hunt) based upon the job of bike messengers in big cities. Davey throws them on the reg these days. Why? Because he loves it.
Aside from having the sexiest name around town and being a stand-up dude, Davey is a stay at home dad and runs the SLC Bike Trader insta page. He’s also the former ED of the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective and former story teller and documentarian… We’ve bumped shoulders a couple times so figured it’d be fun to sit down and record a convo.
We end up chatting about god, the erosion of community, what it’s like being a stay at home dad, bikes as pathway to anti-consumerism, and why Alley Cat Races are so damn cool. All of this recorded last April (just now getting around to it, lol) but still super relevant.
Nothing crazy here, just two peeps getting to know each other. Davey is a real one which I know shines through in his words. Hope you enjoy. And please, play on players.
