The FredCast Cycling Podcast

I check my podcast updates regularly to see if there is a new show. Dave keeps me up to date on current cycling news, like new laws, recalls, and new products, etc. Which is exactly what I need; a dedicated daily commuter. Thank you Dave!

I’m not really much of a roadie. But I will pedal around pretty much anything with wheels. As such, there’s usually something worth hearing in this podcast, but it’s not the greatest one out there.

Looking for a cycling podcast, this was my first attempt with Fred, and the entire first 3 1/2 minutes were ad reads, couldn't handle any more, lost me.

Dave has spent many hours keeping me company on my fitness rides. While he does not publish as often as he used to, his shows are always entertaining and well produced. I found him in the winter of 2006, so I have been along for the ride since the beginning. Yes, he is long winded, but is that not what you want from a podcaster? Plus he is talking about cycling which is why we are tuning in (response to Murgie). I have to say also as someone who disagrees with Dave on some issues, he is quick to... more

David has a hand on the heart beat of cycling. Everything that is discussed is on topic. This includes being personal, and sharing his experiences with us. There is a great deal of information to cover in the cycling community, and David does a great job disseminating all the information out there and bringing to the table the information that is pertinent to me. This is a great Podcast, and a great way to stay in tune with the cycling community in general.

You can tell that David puts a lot of work into the podcast - it’s both entertaining and informative. If it’s got two wheels and it’s pedal powered, you can bet that he will cover it. Whether you like hearing about the pros, product recalls, introducing new products, or just news in general, this is the podcast you should be listening to.

I am new to cycling. I had not ridden a road bike since high school when at 55 I was selected for a cross country bike ride. I had just discovered podcasts a few months before and had used them to listen to IT-related topics (I'm a sysadmin). I was desperate for help when, on a whim I searched on "cycling" and found The Fredcast (and a few others. Thank goodness I did. Both of David's podcasts (including The Spokesmen) were very helpful and I constantly look for the next one!

My only complaint... more

Although less frequent (due to work/family) David still produces one of the best cycling podcasts around.

I have listened to a ton of podcasts, and this is not only one of my favorite, but objectively is one of the very best...well produced, well planned, well executed. Keep it up David!

I am sure Dave is a very nice person and think of himself as fair and wise cyclist/human being in everyday life! but this podcast he produce manage to be both extremely boring, useless and bias at the same time, I have honestly try to listen to it (since jan 2012) and can no longer subject myself to such punishment! Dave, maybe you should spend more time on your bike and forget podcast! peace out!

Great podcast found it purely by accident. Don't know how David gets the time to come up with the content but it's great. It's an American production as you'd probably guessed but don't let that worry you! :) it really is very interesting. I listen to it when I'm out on the road driving from meeting to meeting In Northern Ireland and boy does it keep me entertained! :) oh and check out his other podcast I think it's call the Spokesmen Round Table it's good Craic with plenty of banter from the pa... more

I started listening to the Fredcast 3 months ago as a way to pass time while on my treadmill. I was so pleased with the show that I decided to go back and start listening from episode #1, broadcast way back in 2006. It's been fun listening to David review new and innovative products, like the first gps units for your bike and 29" mountain bike wheels. Boy, technology sure changes fast! I find this podcast to be a fine balance between techy/fred commentary, bicycle advocacy, and general bicycl... more

David does a great job bringing a diverse set of topics of the cycling world into his podcast. His Tour de France podcast is also very helpful. He is very good at appealing and explaining to all levels of cyclists.

Very enjoyable podcast. The host picks some great topics to discuss each show. Very relevant to all levels of cyclists.

This guy seems like a nice fellow but this podcast is terrible. Most of the time is spent hyperbolically introing what he's getting ready to talk about and not actually covering any content. I tried to give this podcast a fair shake but it's simply a bore.
