I’m really excited about this episode because it’s an approach to safety that could truly wake up the public to a concrete reason for watching out for us on the road.

  • Engages in partisan politics too much

    Love her industry interviews , but she engages in way too much partisan politics . Amazing how we can’t just stick to cycling which is a topic all of her listeners download her podcast for .

    I honestly wish there was someone who was capable in cycling podcast space of doing this.

    As such I have no further use for this podcast

    At every opportunity the host injects her politics. I’m just tired of it.

  • The best all-around bike podcast

    It is hard to find a solid, general interest bike podcast. I’ve learned about several large rides, tourist events, books, movies and tours thanks to Diane. Even found the right company to build my custom bike (Seven). What a wealth of knowledge from Diane - and even some racing or advocacy (which seems to dominate too many other podcasts). Thank heavens for The Outspoken Cyclist

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Outspoken Cyclist 10/15/12026
Q: Where is legislation at any level, or advocacy at any level, that's having any impact whatsoever? If you, do you see any?
Wilborn says current efforts are not enough and calls for cycling advocates to focus on safety, build relationships with prosecutors and law enforcement, and apply vulnerable road user laws through case-by-case work. He also argues that the movement needs clearer priorities and more cohesive leadership.
Outspoken Cyclist 10/15/12026
Q: Why would somebody think AI has answers, and wouldn't that vary state by state? And secondly, what would AI say that would be quote unquote sound legal advice?
Wilborn says people routinely use AI for legal questions, but its answers are generated from language patterns rather than legal research. The results can be overconfident, outdated, or skewed toward jurisdictions with more available data, so they are not a substitute for advice from an attorney familiar with the relevant law.
Outspoken Cyclist Podcast 9/17/2026
Q: How is the campaign funded and sustained without traditional charity status?
MTAC operates as a voluntary organization funded through merchandise and sponsorships, with support from partners like NFP and Lee Day; as they grow they pursue grants and collaborations but rely on volunteers and pro bono contributions.
Outspoken Cyclist Podcast 9/17/2026
Q: What sparked the idea for MTAC's visual safety campaign?
A group of cyclists who experienced dangerous road conditions after lockdowns in the UK decided to humanize cyclists by showing everyday professionals on the other side of the equation, encouraging drivers to see cyclists as people with roles in the community.
Outspoken Cyclist 8/27/2026
Q: How does Ohio handle the AFRAP concept and its practical implications for cyclists and motorists?
AFRAP is treated as a broad standard to ride as far right as practicable, but it includes reasonable exceptions for safety concerns, debris, parked cars, and lanes too narrow to share safely, which can be invoked to justify differentLane positions in real-world scenarios.
