ShiftLess: Gravel, Bikepacking and Unpaved Bicycle Adventures
ShiftLess Hosts Hooked on Gravel, Bikepacking and MTBWelcome to ShiftLess, the bicycle podcast where curiosity meets total confusion. Hosted by Brad and Kevin, we are a couple of "chuckleheads" easily distracted by new bike tech and adventure cycling gear.

While we lean heavily into gravel cycling, bikepacking, and mountain bike adventures, we cover anything that rolls.... more

- A New Favorite
I just starting listening to this podcast and I love it. It’s a very casual chat about life and bikes, and feels almost like hanging out with friends. The guys are very relatable and interesting. This is my new favorite cycling-related podcast.

United Statesa year ago - Context?
Although these guys know a lot about bikes and can be entertaining I have to give them a lower rating than I would like. The reason? They give zero introduction or context to anything they are talking about. I listened to probably 20 minutes of them talking about their regional weather and I still have no clue about where they are based (state, city etc.).
