...and Big Bike Fatigue? Yeah, Matt forgot to tell you what that was about. Maybe next week.

Between extreme heat, hormones, and moto trials, the hosts don't have a lot going on this week. The rest of the bike industry is taking a rest week as well,... more

This week, shit's on fire. Like, literally. The crew discusses Rabbit Brush, Fires, New Shit, and a listener question about caffiene and tick conspiracy theories. Andrea is about 8 out of 10 grouchy in this one.

This week, the crew discusses airline nightmares for like, half the episode. The other half is mostly a Patron question and a little new shit.

It's just Matt and Andrea this week, as Kenny is off doing things he may or may not be able to talk about later. They both have some rants, Andrea shares her latest conspiracy, and they do their best to cover all the new shit while sweating their bal... more

  • Great podcast

    Driving: if you are one of those people that drive with 4 way flashers on as if you are some sort of emergency vehicle, how do other drivers know if you are changing lanes? I would hazard a guess that people already can tell you are a bad driver without the 4 way flashers.

    I disagree with Kenny about the levo 4 battery, i had a levo 3, I think the levo 4 battery is much better, don’t want to pick a fight, just my opinion.

    Keep up the good shows. Oh my god, as someone who’s name is axel, peopl... more

  • Occasionally funny, frequently boring

    This show used to be better, but they’ve been spending more and more time talking about trucks, motorcycles, and hunting, and less and less time talking about bikes. Some of that is fine, but it’s gotten to about 50% of the time (or more) these last couple months. It doesn’t help that they’ve sprinkled in a couple political comments lately. I listen to podcasts like this to escape the political mess so I don’t appreciate them slipping in politics here and there, even in side remarks. You don’t k... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Just Riding Along Show- Episode 245 and Two ZigZags
Q: What is your take on the tick outbreak and the conspiracy theory about Bill Gates' lab involvement?
It's not a conspiracy; warmer winters allow more ticks to survive and proliferate. The more plausible explanation is ecological, driven by climate and wildlife dynamics rather than deliberate human intervention.
Just Riding Along Show- Episode 245 and Two ZigZags
Q: On caffeine: what are the recommended doses and timing for race-day performance, and what are the risks of higher doses?
Dosing at about 3–6 mg/kg before exercise is commonly effective, with 2 mg/kg being a minimal threshold for some individuals; timing is typically about 60 minutes pre-exercise, but individual response and sources of caffeine matter, and doses around 9 mg/kg carry higher risks of side effects.
Just Riding Along Show- Episode 246, Pine Sap
Q: What are your thoughts on a proposed federal excise tax on bikes to fund biking causes and infrastructure, modeled after other foundations?
Kenny suggests preferring localized funding over a blanket federal tax, arguing that local use and community involvement are more effective and less prone to waste; he cautions about misallocation and the complexity of equitable distribution.
Just Riding Along Show- Episode 239, Gatorade Surprise
Q: Is the effect of clutching while descending real or imagined?
Yes, it's real; clutching reduces throttle input and prevents binding, improving suspension behavior on descents.
Just Riding Along Show- Episode 233, Waiting Until the Last Minute
Q: What should someone expect weather-wise when riding in the mountains near Colorado Springs for a gravel race?
Expect afternoon thunderstorms, potential cold descents, and the need for a waterproof jacket that can be packed away; dress for predicted weather and keep a rain layer accessible for quick changes.
