Chatting With Chuck: Fitspeek 187 with Chuck Glover

When you ask a guy about his favourite place to cycle and he responds, “Downtown Vancouver in rush hour” you know you are talking to someone unique. Maple Ridge’s Chuck Glover is certainly that, and it’s not just because he plays the bagpipes too!

Chuck is a retired RCMP and Metro Vancouver Transit Police officer and has seen his fair share of interesting things in the 4 decades he has served.

Although he has a fascinating background as an officer and an endurance athlete (sub 4-hour marathon guy!) Chuck is firmly planted in the present as the owner of All Points Cycling in Maple Ridge. His company is focused on bike handling and safety skills. He has trained hundreds of riders how to survive in the “urban jungle” while on 2 wheels.

This week get to know more about one of the pioneers of safe cycling instruction in North America. Get the scoop on Chuck by pressing play.
