Biking Battles with Spandex Warriors The 100 Ride 2025 with Uri Kirschner
In this inspiring and entertaining episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael and Ushy sit down with real estate attorney and community trailblazer Uri Kirschner to uncover the stories behind the suit. From 30 years in law to launching grassroots chesed projects, Uri has mastered the art of doing good—quietly, but with massive impact.
Uri shares the story of how a simple conversation sparked the now-famous 100 Ride, a cycling fundraiser that has raised hundreds of thousands for local families in need. He also opens up about his roots in Washington Heights, the rich traditions of the Yekke community, and why carrying on that legacy through chesed, humility, and action is what truly matters.
From wild real estate closings (including one while hooked to an IV!) to running boutique second-hand clothing shops out of his home, Uri's life is packed with meaning, motion, and mitzvos. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably want to do more good after listening.
