Essential listening after every stage!

I’ve never heard so much blather with so few insights in a single podcast. Wow.

Great show Steve 😜

“Taking it day-Bar-det.” It’s an episode title so clever that it’s worth spoiling the race for anyone that didn’t have a chance to watch live. Thanks for all you do guys!

I do listen to Placeholders and the Tour daily quite regularly, Caley is good and knowledgeable, and overall it’s a decent cycling podcast, but please can they all stop trying so hard to be funny, you’re cycling nerds not comedians. Act accordingly. And can Jonny Long please please PLEASE learn...Read full review »

The cycling friends you wish you had in real life. In podcast form.

I worked in purchasing at one of the company’s mentioned many times in these episodes. Throughout summer 2020 I heard company leadership repeatedly say this was the new normal in the bike industry. I even heard the term “bicycle renaissance” thrown around. The directive was that purchasing...Read full review »

You guys guilted me into a 5 star review. Dane Cash and Cosmo both have lurching vocal cadences kind of like Captain Kirk, it’s often hard to listen to. It is also weird to talk more about what you are going to talk about than what you are talking about: this mainly is annoying in the formerly...Read full review »

Nuff said
wahwidd via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/12/24
I love the depth they go into, and the fact that they are entirely member-supported. The technical articles are superb and they go to some effort to highlight perspectives that are not necessarily their own (i.e. people who might want to start riding). The racing news is often fascinating even...Read full review »

Apparently the Escape Collective doesn’t receive a lot of reviews. I assume this is because most regular listeners pay a subscription and thus have made their opinion known to those who care the most. Though they have my money, there have been a number of occasions where the hosts have, in...Read full review »

Every podcast is excellent! The team is engaging, entertaining, and knowledgeable. I particularly enjoy the Geek Warning episodes. I am happy to pay for this content to keep it flowing. Journalism FTW!
CoasterFamily via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/24
…because it was so good that I had to sign up for a membership. The EC podcasts are probably the best bike related content on the market. They cover everything from training, tech, women’s and men’s racing to poetry while keeping it fun! I’ve so far listened to every episode, start to end, and...Read full review »

Have been listening since the beginning. The team have frank discussions on all topics related to biking and have a weakness for the nerdier aspects of their areas of specialism (tools, aero gains etc). But what really makes the show is camaraderie among the hosts. Podcast production is professional
jasonfc99 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/26/24
Not sure what happened to this pod. Still good info but seems like all the hosts are trying too hard to be comedians so makes for some tedious listening at times.
ilikemusicandstufflikethat via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 02/25/24
So well researched, non biased and always helping us learn more.
Jimbojimjim via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/16/24
Always informative and entertaining. Performance Proceas is especially good.
grumpier.mike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
Overnight success is one of the best sports consumer goods / retail podcasts out there.
jfranci3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
They keep telling me to give them a review so heres 5 stars so hopefully they will stop asking! But seriously, these pods are the best.
chuckaw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/24
If the cycling podcast universe was a sleek, aero-optimised carbon bike frame, then ES has to be the funky bell that somehow doesn’t fit on the streamlined handlebars, but that does after some tweaking fits and gives the bike a face. These guys really give colour and spice to the genre and...Read full review »

Top tier cycling pod
stubold via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/07/24
Unbiased (thanks to the member-supported no adverts business model), fun to listen, and real specialists covering racing, tech, industry news and more.
Nick CM via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 02/07/24
Superb collection of pods across all niches of two wheeled fun.
OlJenks via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/07/24
Escape Collective is the best podcast network for cycling fans out there. Love that almost every day is relevant and entertaining content. Changing the way that media is done. Love it.
camelman via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/07/24
The joy in my day. I savour these and save them trainer rides and dog walks. My absolute fav cycling podcasts hands down and I look forward to every episode. #1 reason I am a member. These have to keep happening!
Christine’s_review via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/07/24
As a reader/member since there EARLY blog days, and now Escape Collective member I can say that this camp continues to set the standard for cycling info. Are they perfect… no. Silly at times… yes. Opinionated? Yup! But there’s a simplicity to them sharing years of knowledge and experience that’s...Read full review »
KillJoy! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Not only are the team legends, but they are putting out content that you can’t, and won’t find anywhere else. If you’re planning on spending any money on cycling, make this the first place you do. Support journalistic integrity and some fine humans too (and not just the ones you hear on the...Read full review »

This is by far the best show I listen and I’m not even a full cycling fan.
GabrielMejias via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
Brilliant!
Rawkdawgz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/05/24
Good commentary on pro cycling, recreational riding, etc. always a pleasant listen.
Mrdaman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
All shows really well edited with clear advice and reviews in a fun and addictive format
JS129DGN via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/05/24
Insightful and entertaining as they say :-)
everynicknameisalreadytakenwtf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
If you love all things cycling but hate pop-up ads and targeted emails filing your inbox, this is the place to go. There are ex-pros mixing it up with and as journalists who speak to everything cycling - tech talk, race talk and lovable goofy discussions about the UCI and our favorite racers. In...Read full review »

Best cycling content
FinQuant via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
I’m a member of the Collective because of the good work they do. Always interesting discussions and it feels like connecting with friends
sh*ggy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
I pick and choose from some other cycling podcasts but I listen to everything that EC puts out. The podcasts are free but do yourself a favor and get a membership to the site. Great written content, some exclusive member pods, and a pretty cool Discord community. 👍🏻
BrMcG via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
I’ve followed this crew on their long journey and am thankful for the pull. Please keep your nose in the wind. I’m right her behind you, enjoying the ride.
Techiepants via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
Excellent insights and coverage. Keep trucking on the XC content!
Jake_SoCal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
Love everything you do! Many thanks from Sweden! I'd love to have more fringe bike geek guests on the show. Dylan Johnson, Peak Torque, Path less pedaled etc.Read full review »

Very well informed and fun
LDFreddie via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/02/24
From the most detailed of tech nerdery, to unique insights into the world of racing, interviews with innovators in the cycling industry, to silly musings about the bizarre characters in cycling, The escape collective has something for everyone and is definitely worth a subscribe. 5 popcorns out...Read full review »

Joining because of your great coverage of women’s cycling
Lynda from CA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/24
I’m disappointed to see that no cycling magazine outlet is talking about the subject matter of domestic violence with the Rohan Dennis story. Ignoring this matter perpetuates abuse. As a woman cyclist, I experience misogyny and sexism repeatedly. Please do an article about this topic and do not...Read full review »
