Punch Out with Kristin Sundin Brandt
She owns 7 bikes.
Falling off them is the whole point.
By day, Kristin Sundin Brandt is the President and Owner of Sundin Marketing, a communications pro, and a working mom. But on the trails and roads of New England, she’s an amateur athlete with a collection of seven (and counting) bicycles. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Kristin about her love of mountain biking, the "no-pedal" bike mystery, and why she firmly believes that falling off your bike is the best way to keep your mind flexible as you get older.
In this episode we learned:
Why Kristin owns seven different bikes and how each one serves a unique purpose (from gravel to fat-tire winter riding).
The mystery of the "pedal-less" bike and why high-end bikes often come without them.
What Zwift is and how it turns a sweaty indoor bike session into a massive multiplayer video game.
Why padded shorts are a cyclist's best friend—and why you should never wear underwear beneath them.
The philosophy of the "intentional crash" to stay "bendy" and resilient as you age.
Why tandem bikes are known as "divorce machines" (and why Kristin steered clear after one try).
