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

info_outline Show 79 - Strava SegmentsThe Cyclist Pod
S1E79 - it's time to put Strava in the spotlight. Pay, you say? Pah.
info_outlineStephen and Raya record the podcast live from the broom cupboard of a top UK cycling company. Not a joke. The acoustics are excellent and we may be back.
Various loosely cycling related and looser cycling unrelated topics hone into the pod's crosshairs on show 68: Storms have been ravaging the UK and we discuss what's possible - if anything - bike wise in those conditions.
Anyway. We take Storm Dennis and Ciara and raise it with 'Tornado Raya'. Is this a thing? It is. Listen up for deets.
In other news, we bid farewell to the Strava puns that have kept Stephen's social media ticking over for 2.5 years, and welcome with open-ish arms the new replacement for 2020.
But our main topic is one at the core of cycling. Rule 5 is the root of the Velominati's powers. Today we tackle the spiritual, philosophical, mental, mechanical and phsyical elements of Rule 5. And ask. If you are a cyclist - of any level, quality or ability; do you need to, at all times, harden the f*ck up?
Oh yeah, it's a certificate 18 today. Regardless of your land of origin.
