Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and dwelling sometimes on what’s confusing. The guys are looking, and almost never finding, answers. But the fun is in the looking. This a cycling podcast for those not defined by racing, high-performance, or a... more

  • Helps you conquer

    Since starting to listen to this podcast, my FTP is up by 150%. My heart condition is cured. My average speed on paved roads is up 5km/h and I find myself extremely handsome. My sense of humor has improved by 12 points and my teenage children think I’m cool.

    I ask you, can you afford not listening to every episode?

  • Suffering is Grace?

    Dudes who like cool stuff talking bout life and stuff, and maybe some bikes, but is that really what you’re looking for? The bikes I mean. If you care about shaving seconds of your PR in the local group ride, then run backwards through a corn field. Come her for life. The stickiest of the icky.

  • Beyond entertaining

    Come for the expert bike industry banter, stay for the qualified mental health advice! But seriously, these guys have great perspectives on stuff that I find really important. Or at least fun. And fun is all that really matters.
