The Cyclist Pod
S1E88 - Stephen and Raya autopsy the 2nd lockdown and how the cycling world has gone nuts. And bolts. And stems, cogs, pins, derailleurs... they've all gone. It's the great parts shortage of 2021. We're only a few weeks from fist fighting in the aisles of Evans Cycles for a brake cable.
info_outline Show 87 - Infrared, Jealousy and ApologiesThe Cyclist Pod
S1E87 - Raya's got THAT watch (before ANYONE, the jammy b*tch). After Stephen stops grumbling, we discuss needles, axles, and apologise for the THING YOU CAN'T STOP EMAILING US ABOUT.
info_outline Show 86 - Dog Pics, Fog Trips, Dutch lips and a DeathwishThe Cyclist Pod

info_outline Show 85 - VelockdownThe Cyclist Pod
S1E85 - Coronabored? Same. So we're aiming to be the antidote. If not the vaccine. There's some public service broadcasting to help explain what you can actually do cycling-wise during a lockdown.
info_outline Show 84 - Look, it's Me or the BikeThe Cyclist Pod
S1E84 - Stephen discovers his love of his bicycle has been cited in his divorce. Tragedy or badge of honour? BADGE.

S1E79 - it's time to put Strava in the spotlight. Pay, you say? Pah.
info_outlineStephen and Raya haven't had the time to do a podcast recently. So they've done one, en route to doing a podcast. In the car.
Yes, the boundaries of podcastery are once again pushed back and smashed to oblivion as a road trip provides the backdrop to another bike-fuelled (though literally petrol-fuelled) natter.
On topic today; bib shorts. What do you do with them when you aren't wearing them? The question is not as bonkers as it sounds. OK, OK, it is.
And!! We cover tandems. Realistically, they should be better (i.e. faster) than normal bikes. Why aren't they?
Rapha. Expensive, but brilliant. But is it? The myths and facts of one of Britain's most loved brands are discussed, first hand, by Stephen, who has caved in to its loveliness.
Of course, anything Stephen does, Raya can do better. She's not getting new pricey clothes. She's getting new pricier BIKES. A five-figure beauty is winging its way to her.
It's not all trivial though - there's some life decision going on too, all related to cycling. I mean, isn't everything related to cycling?
By the way, if you're listening to this pod in the car, and the road noise is too bad to hear us... like a bad break up; it's not us, it's you.
