What connects Joshua’s riding and food?
Joshua Simon, known as the_hangry_rider, makes the stop part of the ride. His Ride Boundless appearance connects an advertising background with food reviewing and a growing interest in helping people discover small businesses.
How did the Hangry Rider take shape?
Episode 119 traces a pastime that began on Instagram and developed into a larger platform. The episode description credits his father with encouraging his interest in food and describes the point at which an enjoyable hobby began to feel like a mission.
The focus becomes the businesses behind the meal. Simon’s reviews give those places another way to reach people, while the motorcycle provides a reason to keep exploring. It is a story about discovering a neighborhood as much as discovering a dish.
What connects the miles and meals?
Roberto Valderrama remembers meeting Simon in Paris and unexpectedly sharing a flight the following day, a connection also recalled in the episode. By the time Simon arrives at the studio on his motorcycle, the conversation already has a shared history.
Valderrama’s firsthand notes add another angle: Simon’s interest in buying used motorcycles for value. That is an account of the rider’s preferences, rather than a claim about a particular purchase or price. It fits a profile in which the motorcycle earns its place through use.
The appeal of this story is the route between interests. Advertising, food, small businesses and riding each give Simon something to notice and share. Listen to the full conversation for how those interests came together, and for the person behind the social media name.
