Becoming Vancouver’s urban transport pioneer

Guest: Paul Dragan (owner, Reckless Bike Stores)

As a young lad, Paul Dragan was given his first bicycle which gave him the freedom to explore the world: first in rural Nova Scotia, then as a road racer in Europe and onto a life an entrepreneur. Paul loves bikes, everything about them – wheels, spokes, tires, tubes and valve stems, to name just a few of the many parts of a bicycle.

He also loves being in business, being in control of his day, his destiny: negotiating leases, designing new equipment for bikes, embracing new technology, marketing, customer relations and working with staff.

In this episode of Careers That Matter, we meet a remarkable man who is helping to re-shape urban transportation.
