Reviews
In depth review of cycling tech, the story and merit of tech brought to market. Great insight for tech at all levels: top- end and that within reach of the ‘normal’ punter. Always thought provoking!

Love this podcast. Ronan pressing ZIPP on the rim failures was great and he was able to keep it amicable yet let us know he didn’t fully agree with what he was being told. I’m with Ronan, I don’t see how a rock/pebble that flung away can cause this type of failure. Anyways if Ronan calls my name...Read full review »

Gave 5 stars for Ronan because he recently said he didn’t see a lot of them and his articles are great. Gave 5 stars for James because he is also a fellow TWT alumnus. I started working there a year after he left so we never got to meet, but he was a legend and everyone at the shop always read...Read full review »

Perfect for all your bicycle based Geekery
J~Rankin via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/23/24
The bike tech reviews are in-depth like no other, Dave, James and Ronan have a wealth of insights and experience that they love to share. This is an excellent resource for the community and worth your time to give it a listen, even if Dave's puns are sometimes terrible (they have their moments).Read full review »

Snookanglr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/24
Always listen on the bike so never had the opportunity to review and give the rating the Escape Collective team diserve! Clearly the best content to discuss about bikes and tech stuff on a weekly basis. One of the few places where you will find positive but also negative critics on equipment,...Read full review »

KydFunkeeSta$h via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/24
Excellent podcast on bike tech. I hope you consider doing more long format deep dives like you had started doing at “the other place”

Love listening to the group. Great info, stories and a whole bunch of laughs. Everything you loved about Caley, James, Dave and Ronan before is still there!!
Helolumpy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Ronan was so mad about the reviews not coming in the last episode that it motivated me to actually get around to it and probably got around to it before Dave.
M.Ostrowski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
Longtime listener, Lifetime Member. Shout out to the geekiest bike geeks that ever geeked. Absolutely THE podcast for any and all things bicycle tech.
pedaling_squares via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
If you’re interested in the tech behind/inside cycling, new technologies that relate to cycling, and learning about working on bikes, this is the place to be.
Mrdaman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
Extremely informative and entertaining podcast about all things bike geeky; from learning what some of the best tech editors think is the one product they’d choose in a category to helpful PSAs around making sure your bike is maintained.

Never miss a show
everynicknameisalreadytakenwtf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
When I get back from a run or whatever and my wife asks what I’m listening to, I get an eye roll when I explain that it’s a podcast about tire selection and chain friction losses and carbon layups and wheel inner widths and….. At least James can stop shaming me now that I’ve finally given a...Read full review »

Go become a member to get the full show (+ others). It’s worth it.

Sorry for the procrastination. 5 stars all the way! Leaving the rating was not intuitive. Had to Google how to do it.
DI S.C. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
I always look forward to Thursdays when this podcast drops. I not only enjoy the great content, but the comaraderie of the hosts. I’m a huge fan of Escape Collective generally and highly recommend subscribing. The quality and depth of their product reviews is unmatched.
Swagghfjfjfjf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
Second to a great ride of course, each week (sometimes more often) I’m impatiently waiting for a great dose of tech nerdy content. The best source for industry news, opinions, advice…Subscribing for the members only episodes is highly recommended too!
Fred Ddbg via Apple Podcasts · Belgium · 02/04/24
My absolute favorite bike tech podcast. Can’t beat the expertise of James, Dave, and Ronan, and where would we be without Dave’s outrageous puns! Support them and the whole Escape Collective, who are changing cycling media.
El Hefe 789654 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
Entertaining and informative. The best way to stay current on trends, tech, and practical knowledge for modern bicycles.
Vague but true via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
I was so sad when this podcast stopped happening at the old place. I am an Escape Collective subscriber, and this specific podcast is 75% of the reason.
Jilliansaurus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
I’ve learned so much from these folks! If you want to be in the know about what has been/will be released in the bike industry this is your podcast.
P-izzle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
I always learn something…and end up buying new tools!
FinQuant via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24

THE podcast for bike nerds.
Tyler Loewens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
… cause Ronan guilted me today! Favorite podcast in the EC empire! Thank you for all you guys do.
hdogg007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
The contention by James and crew is first rate! It’s the annual sub. Join me and vote with your wallet. Members only is the way to go!
Bleu72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
I remember the dark days of late 2022 when these guys weren’t publishing content. Making sure my subscription is set to automatically renew
Vuilbijler via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/02/24
Great great show, had been procrastinating rating and reviewing until Ronan torched all the silent freeloaders, well done sir. Seriously though, love the variety of disciplines they cover, and the ask a wrench eps are interesting and helpful. Keep up the great work!
Dorris Pringle Brule via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
All the latest bike tech news, but more importantly deep dives into the minutiae of bike tech and tools. Like so deep you have to be a real bike geek to care. All with the proper level of humor. Everyone on this show takes themselves the exact right amount of serious. Which isn’t very much.
PNWCyclist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
Sorry it took me so long to rate. Love the podcast! In all fairness, I had to google how to leave a rating since I listen elsewhere. Keep it up
Bealsjw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
Terrifically entertaining and informative podcasts. The hosts have a vast knowledge and share this in a really accessible way.
Barafundleboy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/02/24

Best podcast for bike related news. On a side note, I miss having Caley on the show.

Thanks guys for your work putting this out there!
alonsomh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
Excellent, intelligent, informative, funny. And that’s just Dave Rome. With Ronan and James added to the mix, adjectives fail me. A must listen for anyone with even a passing interest in bike tech and, of course, tools.
