'Bike Vessel' documentary highlights two-wheeled transformation

On today's show...

After a series of health crises, filmmaker Eric Seals and his father took a 350-mile, four-day bike ride to reconnect with their physical health and their relationship. Seals captures the cycling journey in his documentary "Bike Vessel" (1:00 to 25:32).

Learn more about community screenings of the film in Rapid City and Spearfish.

We head to central South Dakota to meet a bike club that forges their own trails on the prairie landscape. SDPB's "Dakota Life" introduces you to the Oahe Wheelman (25:32 to 32:41).

Plus, author Brian Heron is on a mission to bring the pilgrimage practice to American culture. He talks about his personal physical and spiritual journey to reconnection (32:42 to 49:24).

It all starts with one push of the pedals.
