Mine seemed to cut off and end before it had finished. I hope there’s a post event debrief / reflection.

Episode 144, Patrick’s East Texas Showdown ITT is a great podcast (as are All Bikes Or Doom podcasts). This episode particularly, I found fascinating listening to the unvarnished tale of Patrick cycling this multi day route. The highs, the lows, the physical effort as well as mental effort, the...Read full review »

Just a lot of good interviews on the subject of bikepacking and usually bikepacking racing. Well worth listening! I’ve been really impressed by how real and easygoing Patrick can be with his guests. Definitely not pretentious, and always fun, also has a great theme song ever since Miles Arbour...Read full review »

Since you asked for reviews, I enjoyed this one. I like dialing up bikepacking videos on YouTube so this was an easy listen. I agree that more interviews would be cool, but man when you’re going you just want to go, or just enjoy the view. I’m the same way with getting pictures.

My favorite podcast for so many reasons, and for many years. If you love riding bikes and hearing great stories, Patrick makes you feel like your along for the ride. Real, genuine with a positive attitude. Always waiting for the next episode !!

Patrick manages to snag interviews with the greatest bikepackers in the sport while also working in some middle of the packers with compelling stories to tell. He asks great questions and puts together episodes that are fascinating and informative.

This is a great podcast. I’m really enjoying listening and learning about this newish to me sport. Lots of information and fun chats so far that have me taking notes and making lists of things to buy and or look into. 🤘🏻🚲

I try to give other cycling/gravel podcasts a chance, but then I realize I’ve been listening to people ramble about nothing with no direction for an hour+. Patrick’s style of interviewing people goes on all sorts of tangents, yet always seems to have great direction.

Love your interviews with the Tour Divide riders! Hopefully Up Next is Katie Strempke! Or Ana Jager!
Dos Rivers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/22
This has been my go to pod lately, Mainly because the convos Patrick has with his guests are intellectual, informative, relatable and sometimes spiritual. He digs into the spirit of biking with his guests and has taught me a lot about Bikepacking. Thanks for doing what you do Patrick!

Love this podcast! Just super cool people who love bikes having a chat!
India phoebe bird via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 05/22/22
I enjoy listening to the guests. There are some amazing people with vast knowledge out there on their bikes! But the host talks about himself incessantly. Please, just ask one question at a time and pause to let the guest answer before piggybacking a 2nd or 3rd question before they can answer. We...Read full review »

Patrick always brings out the best perspective in tapping into folks lives beyond bikes. The guests are top notch and all have amazing stories to share about life not just biking.

Patrick does an amazing job with this show. It’s not super polished or fancy which I appreciate the most. He has good entertaining conversations with his guests and is extremely humble. Thank you for scratching my adventure itch when I’m driving!

Inspiring stories and good practical information for bike packing

Patrick’s out here doin the Lord’s work!
Shelton1132 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/22
Listen to it often on the drive to work and while I’m at work when I can. Listen to some episodes multiple times. It’s nice to be able to hear the stories and experiences. Have learned a lot and set a lot of goals because of this podcast.
MatteBlack13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/22
I’m just back into biking after many years. I’ve learned tons from this podcast. Makes my commutes to work fly by! Bravo, dude!
bassmiles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/21
Really like the premise, and some of the guests and topics are really cool, but the host is pretty rude and brash which makes it unlistenable to me. For example in the latest episode with miles arbour, the host talks about a prior guest with a disability and the issues they have with going to the...Read full review »

I tried to listen to the podcast with Jeff K. but after several minutes of advertising and long discussions pushing brands, I lost interest. I get it, this is a business but more content and insight on the topic might be necessary.

Great show Patrick! You are a great interviewer and host, and appreciate your hard work!
VTS86 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/21
I love the long form interviews and the sense of community. If you live to bike, this is your podcast. Support this podcast!
jeffbloodworth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/21
I listen in the car on the way to/from work and am consistently inspired! Great guests and questions! Having toured I am fascinated by the off road bike packer. Might have to give it a try!
tzyuhw59234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/21
Bikes or Death podcast is my favorite bikepacking/cycling related podcast out there. Patrick has the best attitude and listening to him inspires me to be a better more joyful individual. This podcast is loaded with very interesting interviews and loads of useful information.

Great content, keeps me connected with all that is in the bikepacking world.

Always thoughtful and enlightening, Bikes or Death is my go to podcast. Keeps me stoked every day of the week.
Jonathon Owen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/21
Even if you’re not a bikepacker yet, Patrick’s interviews of riders, racers, route builders and bike industry people, just might turn you into one. At the very least a very entertaining podcast with great information for any cyclist.
djlxr400 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/21

birddog10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/21
When you just can’t get enough of that bike life. Can’t stop riding bikes, talking about bikes, dreaming about bikes. With Bikes or Death, you can listen to stories about bikes in your down time. Patrick is a great host. I love hearing about everyone’s adventures.

Just started bikepacking and love this podcast!
Johnnydm1971 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/26/21
I listen to this podcast regularly and the guests are amazing. I don’t mind the length of the shows when the conversations are engaging, and the enthusiasm everyone has for bikepacking is evident. My only problem is that Patrick, buddy, you interrupt the guests a lot. I know you’re enthusiastic,...Read full review »

Quality podcast. Ride bikes, get high
nick9name9tom via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/25/21
Patrick takes the intimidation out of bikepacking. His love of the sport and admiration for those that excel in it, really helps the listener feel like they can do it too. I appreciate that he doesn’t focus so much on components and fancy bikes but rather the “how” to bikepack. He makes...Read full review »

I am fairly new to bikepacking and cycling in general and Ive gotta say...I love this podcast. These are real people, real emotions, and real moments and it’s extremely inspiring! The genuine nature of this podcast is refreshing and I cannot wait to hear more!
pinkybikes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/21
I stumbled across this podcast about a year ago having no idea that bikepacking or Adventure cycling even existed; I was just looking for a podcast about cycling. This podcast is not only a joy to listen to for entertainment sake, but it has proved invaluable with teaching me what I needed to...Read full review »

Great guests. Great topics. I learn a lot and enjoy listening and that’s exactly what I want out of a podcast.
Prentick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
You guys are keeping me sane while dealing with the city traffic. Your podcast with Lewis Ciddor was awesome, bring on episode 2.
Crash or No Crash via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/27/21
Do you know you want to go backpacking. And you probably want to talk about it with all of your friends, but they don’t know about bikepacking. Enter: this show. Patrick is a true enthusiast for the sport, and I have caught the bug. Listen in and you will too.
ChaplainCorey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
It has a better potential then it has now. If only the host was talking a bit less about himself. Let your guest do the talking...please.
