  • For people who like bikes!

    This podcast is about anything bikes. It’s not about racing, going faster, or getting fit in 6 weeks. It’s about bike history, present and future. It’s about people who like bikes and their stories. It’s about having fun on bikes. It’s good bike karma.

  • This podcast is a gem!

    Found this podcast recently, and after listening to a few of the newer episodes, I decided to start from the beginning of the back catalogue and hear them all. What a delightful glimmer of positivity in the world! As a bicycle commuter, casual MTB and gravel rider, aspiring tourer and general bicycle enthusiast, I love the variety of stories and good-natured humor. Thanks for the stickers!
