Part II: Tyler Pearce, The Vegan Cyclist
I am no one special, just an ordinary dude that strives to be the best version of myself. I am currently 30 years old, a husband to an amazing wife, a father to an amazing boy, and a proud puppy papa to two toy breed dogs. I live in the foothills of California and love it here, this is truly where I wish to live out my days.

I started cycling as a cross training activity for Brazilian jiu-jitsu back in 2010 but it quickly took over my life as I fell deeper into the crazy sport of cycling. I am a cat 2 NCNCA racer, which took me 3 years to reach. As for being vegan, it has been a 10-year journey into health after eating fast food 3 times a day, EVERYDAY.

I am not an activist, I don’t think anyone is horrible for eating meat or just living a life different than mine. I simply want to show you, the viewer, the subscriber, the fan, that there is another way to live life. If you think it looks cool, then try it. If not, eat meat while watching my videos, I am not here to force change, change will come if you want it.

For the first time, Mario talks with Mark about his performance, the judges criticism and you won’t believe what one incredibly insensitive American Idol Producer said to Mario regarding his blindness!

Not only does Mark start most of his days on a bike before sunrise – today Mark talks with Emily Piccone from Recycle A Bicycle on the numerous programs that serve both NYC youth and adults through education programs to learning bike mechanics. And Emily and Mark share why they’re passionate cyclists and the numerous positive ramifications biking and Recycle A Bicycle have on the public. www.recycleabicycle.org
