“I started by listening to episode 180 and quickly learned that everything is offensive to the young lady being interviewed, including anyone that voted differently than her or addresses a mixed group of people as “guys”.
FYI
English is largely a Latin based language and all groups (unless...”Read full review »

“Having stumbled upong this podcast a few years ago and initially thinking it was a bit too focused on the politics of cycling, it has really grown on me, both with the recent special episodes and the banter from the usual suspects. I normally listen to it when out on a ride along the non-existent...”Read full review »

“Good content from knowledgeable folks, but I *wish* they would tighten it up a bit- the shows consistently run over 2 hours and who has the time to listen to that much of any one podcast every two weeks? The participants are obviously having fun and comfortable with each other, but maybe they’re...”Read full review »

“Knowledgeable panel, but negative on so many issues. They talk about not getting political, but then they do. The attorney usually just rants. Lacks structure and focus. The last thing I want to do when done listening is ride my bike, so I unsubscribe.”

Definately worth a listen and the array of voices is always good; some better than others. More...”Read full review »

“Excellent cycling podcast that focusses on more than the professional peloton, great host in David and a host of interesting and informative characters. Primarily US based but the issues are so similar to the UK and with Carltons input makes this a great listen for UK cyclists.”

It was an hour well spent, with Carlton able to meet a wide range of industry gurus, and then chat to them with a series of excellent questions. Top stuff.

“Its a fun podcast to listen to for some decent industry news and insight... but a couple of the guys on this podcast seem to be way too cynical about most topics.

“The concept sounds great- get a bunch of cycling journalists, bloggers and other nerds together and discuss the latest issues of the cycling world. But boy does this crash and burn upon execution. Most (or all it seems) of the panelists are not in the same room, they are on a conference call. ...”Read full review »
