Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 859 ratings
  • Good stuff - just one thing …

    Some of the episodes seem to be edited such that all the gaps between sentences and thoughts are removed. The result can be a very unnatural flow and not very pleasing to listen to. I don’t know why they do this.

  • Podcast has gone downhill

    The podcast was varied with a nice mix of conversations. It has gotten really boring over the last few months. I think the presenters have lost interest in it

  • Episode 1, 101 is a gem

    Episode 1,101 with Erin Ayala

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Sometimes the Roadman pod can be a bit well, let's just say wanting; HOWEVER, with a proper expert guest and a willingness from Anthony to listen (more than talk) can be one of the best podcasts ever for a cyclist. This episode was 100% great!

    Thank you Erin! (and Anthony).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New Study Confirms Most Cyclists Are Fuelling Wrong With Dr. Sam Impey
Q: What does the Rothschild study actually measure, and why should listeners care?
The study quantifies training load using duration and session RPE to estimate internal load, then examines how energy and carbohydrate intake track with that load. It shows most athletes fail to adjust intake proportionally to training demands, which matters because matching intake to work drives better training adaptations and recovery.
Should The Average Cyclist Worry About Aerodynamics
Q: How should someone test aero improvements without spending a lot?
Do quick, repeatable tests on a flat or rolling section, compare a five-minute aero block with a neutral block, and note speed and effort to discern real gains; focus on position and fit first.
Should The Average Cyclist Worry About Aerodynamics
Q: Is an aero helmet or aero kit worth it for a non-pro rider?
Aero gear can help, but it's not a universal solution; its value increases when combined with a comfortable, sustainable position and appropriate kit fit, rather than being used blindly as a shortcut.
Should The Average Cyclist Worry About Aerodynamics
Q: What should be the first aero-related move for an average cyclist?
Body position and technique first, followed by clothing fit and then wheels/tires; only after those lower-cost, high-impact areas should a rider consider aero frames or wheels.
Inside Cycling Ireland: Crisis, Reform and the Road Ahead With CEO James Quilligan
Q: How is Cycling Ireland addressing membership decline and calendar stability?
They are focusing on data-driven calendar planning, multiple category adjustments, promotions to attract new riders, and increased support for clubs and promoters, alongside targeted investment in youth and women's programs.
