  • 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 251, What is it Now?
Q: Dave asks what customers are buying in shops for electronics, stocking strategies, and whether to bundle accessories with bikes.
They discuss location-dependent demand, noting that high-end shops stock more advanced computers and radar, while commuter shops focus on lights and simple accessories. They emphasize stocking a range that matches customer needs, not forcing one approach, and highlight the balance between full-featured gear and budget options, with gear like power meters, sensors, and self-contained lights being popular but varying by market.
Just Riding Along Show- Episode 251, What is it Now?
Q: Adam asks about chain stretch and recommendations for a single-speed setup, including tensioning, cog alignment, and cleaning/maintenance.
The hosts suggest ensuring a straight chain line, cleaning and resetting hardware, using a torque wrench when assembling, and verifying cog position with precise spacing (about 19 mm from the end of the drive-side dropout for a dub wider crank). They emphasize that chain stretch is mostly rollers wear, not the chain itself, and advise a methodical clean-and-tension approach before considering new chains.
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.
