Thomas McDaniel: Knowledge is Horizontal - Ep158
This conversation is with Thomas McDaniel, who has been in the cycling world for many years. He is currently completing his PhD at CU Boulder in Advanced Biomechanics. In the past, Thomas has been a PT, a bike mechanic, a bike fitter, and worked at Specialized, BMC and Trek.
Thomas and I are aligned in that we prefer to educate rather than treat our clients and the people in our lives. As someone who has offered bike fitting to many clients in the past, Thomas understands that not everyone fits in the bell curve of normative data and that every person is a unique individual.
After many other detours and explorations, we round out our discussion with a critical look at science and academia, and how they have been obfuscated from their conceptual ideals.
I am sure you will enjoy this deep dive into the mind of Thomas, who has a rich passion for helping others and is a deep well of knowledge and experience.
