Jenn Tramaglino has come full circle. And she has had her share of adventures from Amsterdam to Las Vegas and Burning Man. Now she has returned to her roots in Kingman, Arizona. And with Kingman Rental Bikes she is adding her infectious enthusiasm to the renaissance that is transforming the historic heart of this desert crossroads on Route 66.
In our wide ranging conversation we talked about the long and winding road that led Jenn to open a gift shop, rental bike store, and bicycle museum on Route 66 in a renovated 1930s service station. And we talked about the power of grassroot initiatives and cooperative partnerships, historic district transformation, bicycle history and trivia, and why Kingman is fast becoming a destination city.
Next week on Coffee With Jim, the podcast from Jim Hinckley's America, our guest is Anthony Arno of Route 66 Podcast that has launched an innovative Route 66 scholarship program. As a college student Arno bicycled across America as a college student while drawing attention towards the plight of cancer patients. After college he worked as a social worker with disabled adults. He began his teaching career in Brooklyn and has received numerous awards and grants, participated in NASA’s Space Camp, and visited Japan as a Fulbright Memorial Fund recipient in 2003.
