  • Most Favourite Podcast Ever

    My absolute favourite podcast—has been for years. Honestly, you and your guests have created something truly special: a space that inspires, encourages, and makes cycling feel real and accessible.

    I’m older than most listeners—56 now—with my family raised,

    a (mostly) understanding husband, and finally the freedom to explore the world on two wheels. I’m cycling through different corners of the globe, squeezing in every adventure before my body says otherwise.

    Staying fit and well now has one g... more

    I came across Seek Travel Ride about six months ago and I thoroughly love this podcast. Bella’s passion, humor, and insightful questions make her an excellent host. Bella and her guests continue to inspire me to have my own adventures but also to remember that there are wonderful people in this world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cycling Turkey, Kurdistan & Kuwait in 47°C Heat: Daragh Cronin
Q: Tell me all about Turkey. What was the lowdown on that leg of your journey?
Turkey was incredibly rewarding but intensely challenging, with four weeks of travel that featured massive landscapes, storied hospitality, and tough climbs; the experience also included moments of doubt followed by strong support from supporters and locals that carried me through.
Cycle Touring China and the UK with Brian Sampson
Q: Lastly, what three words would you use to describe China, England and Wales?
Brian: China—“too much construction”; UK & Wales—“not enough construction.” The exchange highlights stark contrasts in urban development and infrastructure between the regions.
Cycle Touring China and the UK with Brian Sampson
Q: What was reverse culture shock like moving into Western Europe after China?
Brian notes relief at English-speaking environments, easier everyday tasks like bike repairs, and social connections, while also describing lingering acclimation challenges and the ease of finding stays through local networks after Asia's more sparse interactions.
Cycle Touring China and the UK with Brian Sampson
Q: Is there a ridiculous problem solving moment you had to deal with on your trip?
Brian recounts camping near a ranch fence along the Pacific Coast Highway when a mountain lion appeared, his improvised defense with a knife, and then sleeping with the knife by his side, highlighting improvisation under pressure.
Cycle Touring China and the UK with Brian Sampson
Q: Next question about iconic places in China and whether moments of solitude occurred.
He talks about crowds around Beijing and the Forbidden City, the crowding at the Great Wall, and moments of solitude in temples and lesser-traveled sites, emphasizing the contrast between popular monuments and quiet, off-the-beaten-path spots.
