Bicycle Repairman Ben Wyse

Ben Wyse is one of (as far as we know) the only two mobile bike repairmen in the country.  Apparently a "bicycle powered bike shop" is a rarity.  Martha's talk with him includes some audio from glam-rockers Queen ("I want to ride my bicycle!") and Monty Python (the "Bicycle Repairman" sketch, of course).  

Ben mentions a "Talk of the Nation"  article about finding happiness.

Here is Ben on YouTube.
