Yeah, duh, something about bikes. Well the other day YouTube recommended a video by comedian/writer Chloe Radcliffe, of whom I’d never heard. I don’t watch a lot of stand up on YouTube, but I do watch tons of bike vids, and the video recommended was her first episode of a web series called In Tandem that she created. Think of it as a bicycle version of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, but without the smugness of Jerry Seinfeld. Essentially, Chloe rides around on a tandem bicycle with her guest on the rear saddle while conducting an interview. Simple conceit, but the conversation (at least how it’s edited) is comfortable and funny. She has three prior videos called NYC Bike Diaries where she essentially monologues into her Insta360 camera riding around New York, and you can see the influence on the new web series.
She’s funny, she’s a nerd, and as she indicates in a few of her videos, cycling is a massive part of her life. It’s cool to see how she’s found a way to weave together a part of her work and her hobby. If only there was a way to be a bike-riding IT consultant 🙃
