  • Loved it!

    Fascinating, thoughtful podcast delving into the forgotten stories around cycling. Lovingly produced and delivered. I was transfixed listening to the first episode. Immediately sent to my dad. It was a touching reminder of the common human condition underlying the Lycra and TT helmet veneer of these otherwise otherworldly athletes.
