  • Excellent listening cycling podcast.

    Varying points of view delivered in a calm manner. The racing coverage is excellent and athlete interviews are very informative. Only gripe is using miles instead of kilometers for sloped and distances. Cycling is a metric sport.

  • LEVY IS GOATED

    Mike Levy is the absolute GOAT of cycle podcasts… I hope he’s getting equity in whatever entity owns this show because I bet he’ll make a HUGE impact on listenership.

    I’m a mountain biker who doesn’t care much about road or gravel, but I will listen to Levy podcast about pretty much anything.

    Glad to have you back, Mike!
