Episode 22 - Teaching kids life lessons and What is time? - Dads + Bikes

Dads + Bikes

Back in the garage with Alix, Steve, and Ian for yet another episode of Dads + Bikes / Satan's Chauffeurs / Friday Night Bikes podcast experience! We are a buffet of names and also provide you with a buffet of entertainment and knowledge.

In this conversation, we discuss how to encourage kids to be entrepreneurs and teach them to create and sell items (lemonade, cookies, sticks) when they really want something new. Of course, dads give guidance and support to reach the end goal and witness the payoff of earning money to buy things for themselves.

We also talk about the value of listening to music with headphones -- such as Maggot Brain or Zaireeka by the Flaming Lips -- as it sets a new vibe inside or outside the house.

Curious about time? We dig into this and find out what time is and what time is not. Apparently, back in the day before the sundial, it was the Sumerian civilization that started telling time by the sections in your ten fingers (not thumbs). So, eight fingers with 3 sections per finger (called finger tarsals) equals 24 hours in a day. Mind is blown.

A bit of a teaser for all our listeners. The next person that hits us up on our Instagram with your bike, or eating a burger, we'll send you a free shirt!
