Guess who’s driving SAG support for GITy Up - Ira David, host for the PBS television series Pedal America. We spoke to Ira last week about the nutty, no-chance idea of him driving the Pedal America Subaru to pick up tired GITy Up riders.

“I am between production seasons,” said Ira. A quick call to his sponsors…and he’s in!

Ira says his production schedule could change quickly - that’s life in TV - but we’re likely to have him along. We’ll take it! He’ll be camping with us as well. I hear he’s a mean yodeler, which we’ll need for the campfire songs.

You can find Pedal America in the Chicago region on WTTW. Here’s the full station listing. And you can follow Ira and his Subaru as they explore cycling in America on Facebook and Twitter.
