  • 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

  • Adventures on the bike

    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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cycling the TransAmerica Trail: 4,000-Mile Ride Across the USA with Becky Gilbert
Q: Let listeners know, what was the route that you were on and about adventure cycling.
Becky explains the middle route across the US from Florence/Astoria, Oregon to Yorktown, Virginia, organized by the Adventure Cycling Association, and how maps and community-friendly lodging helped planning the journey.
TransAmerica Trail Angel Wes Murray: Hosting Nearly 300 Cyclists in Missouri
Q: What's your philosophy on trust when hosting strangers on the TransAmerica Trail?
Trust is given, not earned; cyclists come with wide eyes and open hearts, and you respond with hospitality, safety, and openness. This mindset builds bridges between locals and travelers and creates lasting friendships.
TransAmerica Trail Angel Wes Murray: Hosting Nearly 300 Cyclists in Missouri
Q: Wes, why did you start hosting cyclists and how did The Shack come into being?
I started hosting after I saw riders stopping at the mailbox and inviting them in; it grew from a simple meal and a conversation to a full-fledged hospitality space where people could rest, wash, and share stories. The Shack began as a way to make Missouri memorable for riders and evolved into a practice of treating guests like family.
Cycling Across Scotland, the Netherlands & Belgium with Brian Sampson
Q: What are some must-see historical or cultural stops you focus on in Europe?
I love city squares like Le Grand Place in Brussels and places tied to history such as Waterloo and Verdun, where the landscape and museums help me connect geography with major historical events in a tangible way.
Cycling Across Scotland, the Netherlands & Belgium with Brian Sampson
Q: What insights do you have about cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands versus your other experiences?
Netherlands infrastructure is generally excellent, with dedicated lanes and a sense of safety, but in practice the experience varies by city and can feel crowded with mixed-ability riders, so a blend of calm rural routes and busy urban cycling is common.
