  • An insider cycling podcast that has humor and heart

    Edit: I am updating this review almost a year later and I still adore it! I laugh so hard and I learn so much! I love these people so much.

    This podcast has heart. I’m a listener from the US who found the pod after hearing Matilda Reynolds as a guest on another podcast earlier this year. It’s great to get insight into both men’s and women’s cycling on one pod and feel the enthusiasm for cycling in Australia. I’m already talking to my husband about coming out for the Tour Down Under!

    Sorry, this is my last episode. I get that you all have your own opinions and you don’t have to be unbiased in a podcast, but I’m looking for overall overseas knowledge with more diplomacy, Matilda.
