Excellent podcast - exactly why I got into cycling in the first place. The books are great too. I have the Lost Lanes north and highly recommend.

I was just wondering if there would be another excellent podcast from Jack...and then it arrived. Informative, insightful and well paced. I could have listened all day.

A great podcast, not just for its cycling information, but an excellent to unwind and slow down the pace of life. Listening to it makes you want to go straight outside and enjoy the countryside.

Great podcast. I’d say very relaxing to listen to. As non-native English speaker I love the host’s accent :) Listeners’ turbo trainers stories were great. Lovely how individual stories contributed to the show.

I've listened for years - never mind podcasts, there are few better programmes in any form than this one. Most recent with the inspirational Isla Rowntree was terrific. Jack's Lost Lanes books are also greatRead full review »

I love bikes and this podcast is just so good to listen to

Love this show. Such a wide range of biking topics discussed - always informative and entertaining. Particularly enjoyed today’s episode with Isla Rowntree - fantastic approach to business, the environment and of course producing bikes suitable for children!

By far and away my favourite cycling podcast. Jack is a brilliant presenter, guiding the listener through a really wide range of topics from Grand Tours to club runs, cycling innovations to cycling infrastructure and policy. Give it a listen!

Jack Thurston has presented this marvellous gem of a podcast for a number of years but in the last couple of years they've become sporadic as he's got other big commitments - young family? But do dip into the episode archive, there is some excellent broadcasting here, particularly when he...Read full review »

Thoroughly entertaining, informative and not crammed full of sponsor messages. Jack’s books are awesome too.

Every episode of The Bike Show leaves me knowing something I didn’t know before and optimistic about the future for cycling.

Blah, blah, for the first 20 minutes,should've been devoted to the EPA. I'm still listening and your still talking about everything BUT VW.
Cycle Jim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/17
Jack Thurston, your podcast host, started the show as a weekly broadcast from Resonance 104 FM. This show, about cycling obviously, was broadcast in central London on that radio art station. I miss that time in his life. It was released weekly and I looked forward to it with anticipation. ...Read full review »

My favorite cycling podcast by far. The only complaint is not enough episodes!
ACH57 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/16
This is one of the few podcasts I've listened to continuously in the last 10+ years of my podcast addiction. It's got very little to do with racing and gear and the older episodes where he interviews people during rides are just awesome. There's less of that now, but it's just a consistently good...Read full review »

The best general cycling pocast in the world
BobSm1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/02/16
For me it is the best cycling podcast there is. Utterly charming as well as interesting and varied. At times indwells a little too much on the politics etc of urban cycling but that’s a small gripe compared to the fantastic interviews and subjects. Chapeau Jack.

Just like Andy D I am from New Zealand and have listened to Jack's podcast for some years now. I ready enjoy the "Bike Show" and the different guests. Thanks Again Guys
Possum NZ via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 07/31/15
Jack Thurston presents shows covering a variety of interesting subjects relating to cycling, particularly focusing on every day bike use, now and in the past. Jack selects knowledgeable expert guests who are a joy to listen to. The shows are something to really look forward to.
Grogz UK via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/18/15
A really interesting listen - so much of the coverage of cycling elsewhere, in specialist channels and mainstream media is fixated by fixies and hyper about Lycra (see what I did?) This show deals with some of that stuff, but also deals with the bike as a sensible way of getting around by...Read full review »

The show appears to have become less frequent recently - but hit the archive for several years of informative broadcasting

Every episode is a great experience, Jack always does a fantastic show. He has the ability and skill to make his words paint a fantastic picture. Jack, keep the show going the public need this..........

BrianM via · 05/06/14
I'm a longtime subscriber to this podcast. Jack Thurston is a fantastic host that does a great job of incorporating variety into the show. Some shows focus on cycling politics, some are on-site interviews of people in the cycling industry, and my favorite - the shows where he conducts the...Read full review »

If you like cycling you will love this Podcast. I've recently discovered it and enjoyed listening to Jack's excellent shows from past years. All aspects of cycling are touched on and covered in a really relaxed but interesting style. You can pick and choose those that interest you most. ...Read full review »

Jack Thurston is an informed interviewer and all around great host. Good style and demeanor.

Excellent show, wide variety of subjects. I never miss an episode
PaulTamburin via · 12/08/13
Jack Thurston has cycling in his soul as do, I suspect, most of his listeners. I'll never tire of his intelligent, modest and heartfelt approach. Keep on rolling, Jack. And thanks for carrying us with you.
Jaybird via · 11/27/13
Like the Food Programme except about bikes. Something new every week. If you are ever unsure about what position to take on a cycling issue let Jack tell you what to think - he's always right. One negative, not on often enough.Read full review »

The Bike Show is my favourite piece of cycling media - be it web, broadcast or print. It is always thoughtful and thought provoking and nearly always finds interesting angles and something new to say on its subject. Jack Thurston is a warm, insightful, and intelligent presenter who has a great...Read full review »
japalapa via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/22/13
One of the great podcasts (on any subject). Covering a wide range of reasons people ride bikes, there is plenty here for everyone, delivered in a clear and joyous manner. You need not even be a cyclist to enjoy this show (though I guess most listeners are). This is just interesting, intelligent...Read full review »

Jack's show is just about the best way to learn about the world of bicycles. It is highly informative for those new to cycling and those who have been riding for a long time. I especially enjoy the bicycle touring episodes as they take the listener on journeys to places less visited. Easily my...Read full review »

Wonderful and Wide-ranging look at cycling.
anthonypowis via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/19/13
It is the host that really makes this podcast. Jack discusses cycling with a romantic and enchanting vigour. There is no cycling podcast that comes close to this.
Anomie12 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/17/13
one of the few podcasts I have gone back and listened to all of them.
podman166 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/13
Fantastic last podcast on Kraftwerk AND cycling. The Bike Show Podcast is always excellent and always makes me want to delve further in the world of cycling.
smwright1969 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/03/13
Think of Jack Thurston as a kind of Corduroy clad, cycling caped, anti-hero, reminding us that there's so much more to cycling than dressing up in lycra on a Sunday morning, swinging a leg over a bejewelled plastic toy, and heading to Box Hill.Read full review »
Jamesthecyclist via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/24/13
A fantastic listen for anyone interested in cycling whether you're into professional sport cycling or issues relating to amateur cycling from competitions to commuting, this is the show for you. Great stuff, keep up the good work.Read full review »

There are some days when taking the bike isn't an option, and for those days, there is The Bike Show. Very therapeutic to listen to when driving or taking public transport! Keep up the great work.Read full review »
Anna_G via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/22/13
Great show or a breath of fresh air compared to some shows on bicycles I really enjoy the topics and your views of racing/training next to just going out and enjoying the ride. I ride about 5-7 miles a day during the week commuting and 20-30 on weekends just out wandering around. I enjoy listing...Read full review »

Great content, great presenter and guests. Deals with a wide spectrum of cycling culture and with decent regular output. Must be highly commended for the interview with Roche alone.
shuffer via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/20/12
Jack's show is incredibly and amazingly eclectic, reflecting and amplifying the diversity that is cycling, in glorious audio technicolor. He has a feel for the rich history of cycling but is just as comfortable covering the hipster scene or the pro cycling scene. Cycling is a broad church and...Read full review »

There are several great podcasts about bike racing, but the Bike Show looks at the wider aspects of bicycle life and culture. Jack can effortless switch between touring, commuting, art, advocacy,bike design, bike heritage, and indeed bike racing too. The tone is very engaging, but not afraid to...Read full review »

This is a really well rounded show that covers all aspects of bicycling and bicycle culture. Even when the episode is covering a topic I might not normally chose to listen to, I know Jack Thurston will make it interesting and entertaining.
