Tom Justice is a cyclist from the Chicago area who had aspirations of going to the Olympic for track cycling. He was also a bank robber and his escape vehicle of choice was the bicycle. In this episode, we talk to Tom about how he got into cycling, how cycling played a role in his criminal side hustle, and what he has been up to since finishing his sentence in 2011. Unsurprisingly, Tom is back on his bicycle. He can often be found on group rides, which is how he met Tim, or at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome. If you're interested in track cycling, Tom highly recommends checking out the programming offered by the Northbrook Cycle Committee at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome.
