Faith plays a prominent role in the lives of many, and as the issue of climate change becomes more pressing by the day, alternative, innovative measures are being taken to address it. The interfaith dialogue on climate change works to advocate for climate change at communal and individual levels by appealing to different representations of faith and the importance that the environment, and its protection, plays in their philosophies. On the 11th of October 2015, the Malaysian Climate Change Group is hosting an interfaith dialogue on climate change which will explore religious and moral teachings in Malaysia to facilitate behavioural changes amongst Malaysians. Here to speak to us about this dialogue is Lavanya Rama Iyer, Head of Policy and Climate Change at WWF Malaysia and Coordinator of the Malaysian Climate Change Group (MCCG) and Anthony Tan, Executive Director of Centre for Environment, Technology and Development (CETDM) and Past Coordinator of MCCG.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Be it the rugby style descent off the Col du Manse, Simon Geschke’s beard or Tejay van Garderen’s painful to watch abandoning of the Tour’s 17th stage, we’ve got it all and more in Episode 6 of the SBS Tour de France Cycling Podcast. Thank you for joining us. Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Michael O'Reilly.
It’s been awhile since last we spoke, four stages no less, with all sorts of shenanigans taking place. MTN-Qhubeka got the win they’d been chasing, and on Mandela Day no less; Sagan kept on missing out on stage wins, but what’s new, and Froome kept on wearing yellow; although, not always the tinge he’d prefer. So there’s that. We’ll be discussing all that and more on today’s show. Plus a new episode of Froomie and Roomie, so buckle in. With Al Hinds, Annabelle Drew and Anthony Tan.
In a revised format for the duration of the Tour de France, Al Hinds, Anthony Tan, Annabelle Drew and Michael O'Reilly discuss everything from the serious to the downright bizarre. Mondays and Thursdays throughout this year's race, proudly supported by SBS.

This week on the show, it’s high time we actually fleshed out what’s in this year’s Tour de France, and so we shall, with a comprehensive looks at the shape of the 102nd Grand Boucle. And, with the ASO and the UCI locking barbs once more we’ll review the tensions behind the two major cycling stakeholders and why ASO is looking to distance itself from reforms currently before the UCI’s management committee. Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Philip Gomes.
This week's SBS Cycling Podcast goes deep on the Dauphine, welcomes back Anthony Tan, and asks what's up with Marcel Kittel. And more.
This week on the show, we keep an eye on the Ardennes wrapping Sunday’s Amstel Gold Race, Wednesday at Fleche Wallone and preview the big one, Liege-Bastongne-Liege. As the Giro approaches we pore over the form of Richie Porte as he tackles the Giro del Trentino and considering the T-Dawg will be away en vacances for the next six weeks, we’ll speak to Anthony about his career covering cycling. Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Rob Arnold.
This week on the show, the cobbled season comes to a close at Paris-Roubaix where Giant-Alpecin’s John Degenkolb collected the first MSR-Roubaix double since the days of Sean Kelly, we’ll also be talking train timetabling; in tech news, the UCI has unveiled plans to ‘explore’ the possibility to institute disc brakes in the road cycling peloton, we’ll discuss their possible merits, and just as the cobbles are behind us, the Ardennes are still ahead. Amstel Gold is on this Sunday and we’ll preview the race. Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Rob Arnold.
This week on the Cycling Central Podcast we talk Milan-San Remo and Johnny Degenkolb, the battle of wills and ways that is Bjarne Riis and Oleg Tinkov, and as the Volta a Catalunya rages on, we talk about a guy we don't talk much about. Hosted by Al Hinds with Anthony Tan, Rob Arnold, and Philip Gomes.
This week on the show, the E3-Harlebeke is a little bit naughty and gets a reprimand from the UCI, Bert and Froome battle for top-dog status in Spain, Thomas Dekker rides the Hour but falls short even while on Pajote, and are we unfair on MAMILs? Hosted by Al Hinds, with Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan, and Ride Media’s Rob Arnold.
The Cycling Central Podcast for the week of the 19th February, 2015, providing your weekly review of all things cycling. This week on the show, a Belgie passes before his time, helmets are good, but also bad, a painted bike lane shouldn’t be demonised, how not not fix a crank arm on a pursuit bike, and summarizing the shambles of a half decade at Cycling Australia. Hosted by Al Hinds, with Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan, and Ride Media’s Rob Arnold.
We’re geed. This week on the show, it’s the endgame for Evans, as Australia’s only Tour winning, dog protector, from Barwon heads calls time on his career. Dennis defends Porte’s punches Ali-Foreman style on Old Willunga to win the Tour Down Under, UniSA shines bright under the unusually cool Adelaide summer sun, and - on that note- Jacky Bobby - Bobridge that is, readies to ride his bike for 60 minutes. Presented by Al Hinds, with Philip Gomes, Anthony Tan, and Rob Arnold.
This seminar is the second in a series, organized by Regina Herzlinger, Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration at HBS.

In this week's Cycling Central podcast we muse over a multitude of two-wheeled topics - a review of the Vuelta a España; whether a trio of Grand Tours is one too many; boxing on bikes; Jens Voigt's crack at the hour record, which he'll undertake next Thursday; and the 'Mamilisation' of the urban and suburban peloton and its consequences. Join host Phil Gomes along with Dave McKenzie and Anthony Tan for half an hour of wheel good fun!
The Cycling Central Podcast returns after an extended hiatus, and we’re exceedingly happy to again be in this fine, rather spartan studio at SBS HQ to talk all things cycling. Regular guest contributor, a man whose passion for the sport created one of Australia’s most read bicycling magazines, Ride Media’s Rob Arnold joins the podcast as well as SBS favourite, raconteur, and journalist, Anthony Tan. This week on the Cycling Central Podcast we look ahead at La Vuelta a Espana, think about Orica’s bid for a place on a Grand Tour GC, talk USA PRO and Eneco and wonder whether the world cares, plus we muse on an already busy transfer season.
Nine more sleeps. Nine more sleeps till Le Tour begins, and shuteye becomes a distant memory. Anthony Tan wanted to talk about the 2014 Vuelta a España, but found himself besieged by host Al Hinds, Phil Gomes and Rob Arnold, he of the RIDE Cycling Review cycling empire. (Other than the behemoth that is Cycling Central, of course.) Taking a leaf of the Team Sky handbook, the quartet methodically work their way through the five chapters of this year's Grande Boucle - beginning with the UK experience, moving onto the Vosges, then the Alps, the Pyrenees, and, a day before Paris, the Bergerac time trial, the only timed test of the 2014 Tour. Next, we talk of the five main contenders - Chris Froome, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali, Alejandro Valverde, and Tejay van Garderen - otherwise known as Froome-dog, Bert-dog, Nibble-dog, Piti-dog, and Gard-dog - and vacillate on just who will be the Top Dog come 27 July. When it comes to picking a winner it's split 2-2 - but you'll have to listen to discover who they are and which way the pod quartet go. (You may be surprised.) The green jersey also gets a mention, though it is brief. Because combined, Peter 'Tourminator' Sagan's speed and versatility, not to mention the points structure of the competition, make the Slovak's quest for a third maillot vert a near forgone conclusion.
If the Critérium du Dauphiné is an experiment for the Tour, then July will be a roaring success. But with so much more to lose, will we see B1 and B2 - that being bravado and bravura - play like they did at the Dauphiné? It's up for debate by Al Hinds, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold in this week's Cycling Central podcast. The trio gauge the form of the GC riders, potential chinks in Sky's armour, and Dauphiné winner Andrew Talansky overtaking Tejay van Garderen as American cycling's Next Big Thing. What to make of Belkin's premature exit from cycling? The old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' surely does not apply to professional cycling - the system is completely broken! Is cycling a good investment, or do you still need two million to make a million from the sport? And what ado about TUEs, or Therapeutic Use Exemptions? Defending Tour champ Chris Froome hurryingly applied for one just prior to the Tour de Romandie, before winning said event. Given the culture of suspicion still within cycling, shouldn't TUEs be applied for and approved/disapproved prior to the start of each season, and subsequent to that, if you do fall ill, you either man up or take the bench?
Are recent events at the Critérium du Dauphiné a sign of things to come in July, or are Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and Tejay van Garderen keeping their cards close to their chest? That’s the question Al Hinds, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold, back after finishing off his twelfth official Tour de France guide, first ask themselves in this week’s Cycling Central podcast. From what we saw in the opening time trial and first mountain top finish, it appears the defending champ Chris Froome is so confident he doth not need team-mates… Well, not Bradley Wiggins, anyway. Or maybe he’s riding that way to tell his boss Dave Brailsford that he doesn’t need a former Tour winner by his side to repeat his feat of yesteryear. Logic says you would absolutely want a guy like Wiggo – back to his 2012 best, says the Kid from Kilburn. Yet logic doesn’t seem to be part of the conversation at Team Sky when it comes to his selection. We talk about that, too. Something not on every Aussie cycling fan’s lips, however, is the National Road Series. Sadly, unless there is nothing else on, our domestic road calendar is all but forgotten. In a blog this week, Alex says it should be a summer thing and Rob tends to agree. But if it was, Tanny thinks it would curtail a prospective rider’s ability to score a Pro Conti or WorldTour contract since teams don’t look for new blood in March or April.
Glad the Giro's over, or are you like Garmin-Sharp's Ryder Hesjedal, whose sport director Charly Wegelius said that if there was a fourth week, he'd probably be in pink? (Never mind the fact that the Canadian lost 5'39 to Nairo Quintana in the Cima Grappa time trial and the next day to Zoncolan, ceded three-and-a-half minutes more to the Colombian.) Whatever! By almost all accounts, the 97th edition of La Corsa Rosa provided a spectacular three weeks' racing - and perhaps best of all, it looked like one that, 5, 10, 20, or 100 years from now, won't ask to be rewritten. The Inimitables - that being host Al Hinds, together with Phil Gomes and Anthony Tan - recap the first Grand Tour of the year with typical aplomb, unscripted and uncensored. From looking back to gazing forward, the trio then get stuck into the Tour Contenders' pre-Tour warm-up, also known as the Critérium du Dauphiné. This year - and by the way folks, it starts this Sunday! - it plays host to a veritable selection of TdF favs - Froome, Contador, Nibali, van Garderen. La Grande Boucle is still a month away, so will the aforementioned their legs on the card table, play down (or up, if they're creeping) their form, or target a stage in which to test themselves? To complete proceedings, the Hour Record gets a(nother) run. Ho hum. Recent changes by the genuises at the UCI tech committee mean Hour aspirants no longer need use a conventional bike. Yet it seems to have turned its only protagonist, Fabian Cancellara off, who wanted to go 'old-school'.
On this week's Podcast the quartet of Al Hinds, Anthony Tan, Dave Mckenzie and Matt Keenan discuss the week that was, 'Stelvio-gate', Colombia's ongoing renaissance, and how the GC will be decided on the Giro's final arduous journey through the high mountains.
To pay homage to La Corsa Rosa, we have decided to conduct this week's podcast 'in Italiano'. Yes, that's right, all of it. Inglese is out, Italiano in. Joking. How could we do that when the Australians are taking the Giro by storm? Actually, they're not just taking the Giro by the scruff of the neck. Rohan Dennis was killin' it in Cali, and Drapac has been doing the biz at the tours of Azerbaidjan and Japan. Should we be surprised, or is this the new norm in one of two truly globalised sports? The podcast quartet - that being Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan, Matt Keenan and Dave McKenzie - also speculate on who Orica-GreenEDGE sport director Matt White has his eagle eye on, after he let it out that the team intends to sign a Grand Tour contender before too long. Dennis? Bradley Wiggins? Cadel Evans? Someone else? Of course, they wonder what may happen in the first of two individual time trials in this year's Giro, and the back-to-back stages in the Italian Alps this weekend. As for the language used by certain media outlets that at times appears to be a de-facto anti-bike lobby, which vacillates from the profane to the insane - what to do about it?
Benvenuti al Giro! This week’s podcast is all about the hardest, most storied, most climb-heavy, most sadistic, but perhaps most importantly, most impassioned, Grand Tour of all: the Giro d’Italia. Hosted by Mike Tomalaris, a guy who looks Italian but is in fact a Australian-born Greek whose parents were born in Romania; and ably supported by Al Hinds, a guy who appears your archetypal Australian but could pass for Italian if his eyebrows were a bit closer together and who has one Greek grandmother, as well as Anthony Tan, an Australian-born Chinese Italophile fluent in la lingua Italiana, the motley trio first get stuck in to the thirteen Australians down to race the 97th edition of ‘La Corsa Rosa’. Orica-GreenEDGE taking out the Belfast team time trial and putting their Italian champion Ivan Santaromita into pink. Michael Matthews nabbing the next road stage, taking the maglia rosa himself. On stage five, the first hilltop finish to Viggiano, Bling then passes pink to Pieter Weening after the Dutchman finishes in the top three. And all entirely possible. They should have talked about il percorso first but Tomo, the OGE patriot he is, went off-topic so dissecting the course gets second billing. By analysing the key stages and key climbs, they unlock the door to overall victory. And, of course, they talk up the contenders: Evans, Rodriguez, Quintana, Uran, Pozzovivo, Martin, Roche… A one-horse race this Giro is not.
Ruminating Roubaix, Portents from País Vasco, Cycle of Safety, A Golden Amstel? They are down, but not out. Al Hinds and Anthony Tan are not in showroom condition (are they ever?), but that does not stop them from joining Phil Gomes – who finally has an excuse not to go near them – in this week’s Cycling Central podcast. The trio begin with ruminating over an edge-of-your-seat Paris-Roubaix last Sunday. Did Terpstra get lucky; was Vanmarcke the strongest but not the smartest; could Wiggo have won; was Cancellara off his A-game… What can their fine minds extract from the cobbles with the benefit of hindsight? He tonked ‘em in Tirreno, Contador proceeded to do the same in País Vasco. But the Basque Country tour was also notable for riders like Kwiatkowski, Valverde and Wout Poels who are looking good for a shot at Amstel Gold this Sunday, and the steady return to form of Cadel Evans, the Giro d’Italia partenza now just a fortnight away. The war between cyclists and motorists made the mainstream this week with a report on the ABC’s 730 program that focused on casualties of the road – and unsurprisingly, they were not the ones on four wheels. We get on the line with Fairfax journalist and author of the popular ‘On your bike’ blog Michael O’Reilly to discuss its impact. To cap off proceedings, we preview The Netherlands’ most prestigious bike battle, the Amstel Gold Race, on this Sunday and broadcast LIVE on SBS ONE. The bar has been raised (and being Amstel Gold, the bar is also open) and there are appears to be more potential protagonists than ever this Spring; Hinds, Tan and Gomes go crystal ball gazing to pick a winner that will probably end up losing. The podcast is also available directly on SoundCloud here, but if you'd prefer the direct link so that you your podcast reader updates automatically and you can listen at your leisure, just copy this (http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:10274030/sounds.rss) link into your podcast player.
Was Flanders the best race you’ve seen so far this season? They think so. That’s about the only thing Al Hinds, Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold fully agreed upon in this week’s Cycling Central podcast. w Certainly, no consensus came over Cound – Michelle, that is, partner of one defending Tour champ – and her tweet that was laced with more innuendo than a Victoria’s Secret nightie. Tweeteth she: ‘Maybe an “ex” doper can win the tour this year, at least he would be qualified to answer all the doping questions’. A day later, she tried to backpedal, saying she wasn’t tweeting about you-know-who. Michelle, honey… It’s a bit hard to backpedal when you’re responsible for a thousand- car pile-up and switched off the airbags! Red and yellow cards in cycling? Well, that’s what Belgian cycling president Tom Van Damme is proposing, catching – and penalising – misdemeanours on the fly. Both football and cycling have Euro-centric roots, but really, could the Belgies think of anything more intractable? Phil and Al see some merit; Tanny thinks it has about as much efficacy as throwing a wet mattress up a spiral staircase, to borrow a line from John Cleese. They began the pod with cobbles, and with the Queen of the Classics on this Sunday, so it must end with cobbles. Yes, Paris-Roubaix is on le week-end, and everyone sans the peloton is praying for mud, glorious mud. Alas, it’s been a dozen years now since we’ve had a muddy Hell… Will our dreams come true – but perhaps more importantly, can anyone roadblock the juggernaut that is Fabian Cancellara? Ms Cound, calling Ms Cound, we may just have found some use for you…
When we say ‘Ronde van Vlaanderen’, we mean business. And in this week’s Cycling Central podcast, with all the Flemish gusto we can muster, we say Ronde van Vlaanderen a lot. Which means we’re very business-like, or as serious as three clowns can be. Yes, the 98th edition of ‘De Ronde’, the Tour of Flanders, is on this weekend – and broadcast LIVE on SBS ONE from midnight Sunday. It promises so much: Will we see old dogs Fabian Cancellara and Tom Boonen barking mad, or is it time for Peter Sagan, a.k.a. The Bottom Whisperer, to finally land a Monument? Or will there be a rabbit out of the hat? Sep Vanmarcke, Jurgen Roelandts, Alexander Kristoff, Greg Van Avermaet or John Degenkolb could all upset the Flandrian apple cart on their day… SBS cycling stalwart Mike Tomalaris is in the hot seat as host, joined by top web dog Phil Gomes and Anthony Tan, who is just a dog, to discuss the multitude permutations in this 259 kilometre Classic where only the hard men survive. We also wonder who got caught out with April Fool’s Day news, chastise overzealous ‘fanographers’, and our in-house Tramadol addict now reformed, Anthony Tan, warns us of the dangers of the pain-killing opiate that’s doing more harm than good in the peloton.
So excited is Al Hinds, he could barely host this week’s Cycling Central podcast without bursting into tears of anxiety. So excited are Phil Gomes and Anthony Tan, they could barely say anything to each other except, ‘How excited are you about Milan-San Remo?’ Thanks to their unbridled professionalism, the trio slowly, but surely, got going. Paris-Nice hailed the arrival of Carlos Betancur, however the lion’s share of the talk came from Milan-San Remo, er, we mean Tirreno-Adriatico, which signalled the return of Alberto Contador and those poor souls he left in his wake, from one side of the sea to the next. Thankfully, Bertie isn’t riding the Giro, though that’s cold comfort to Cadel, whose auspicious start to Season 2014 has been doored, most probably by the God of Time. Speaking of doorings, commuters and recreational cyclists have been copping it thick, hard and fast of late – Al’s been spooked, Gomesy’s peeved, and Tanny’s taken to the home trainer whilst watching the ’92 Milan-San Remo… It’s not looking good as they work themselves into a veritable lather, frothing like a cappuccino steamer at Bar Coluzzi. Of course, the pod would not be replete without talking about Milan-San Remo, which for most of us Australians, begins in the wee hours Monday morning March 24 and will be broadcast live on SBS ONE. La Pompeiana’s gone but the big names remain: Cavendish, Degenkolb, Sagan, Cancellara, Boasson Hagen, van Avermaet, Greipel… As the sultry Carolyn Polhemus (played by Greta Scacchi) said to ‘Rusty’ Sabich (Harrison Ford) in the movie Presumed Innocent before she proceeded to make love to him on the boardroom table, ‘It’s going to be so good...’ The podcast is also available directly on SoundCloud here, but if you'd prefer the direct link so that you your podcast reader updates automatically and you can listen at your leisure, just copy this (http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/10274030-cycling-central/tracks) link into your podcast player.
A new world order is forming in professional road cycling. Unless your name is Alejandro Valverde, who defiantly refuses to go away, and keeps on winning. From the white gravel roads of the Strade Bianche, to Bright’s dirt-lined singletrack in Victoria’s High Country, to the Beaujolais Route du Vin at Paris-Nice, to the chestnut groves of Castagneto Carducci adjacent to the Tyrrhenian Sea, we’ve got it all covered in this week’s Cycling Central podcast. In Strade Bianche it was a mano-a-mano battle between Michal Kwiatkowski (and yes, we workshop how to pronounce his name) and Peter Sagan; at the Australian MTB nationals it was the all-conquering cross-country couple Daniel McConnell and Rebecca Henderson who again dominated the headlines. Over at Paris-Nice, despite being halfway in, the GC battle’s only just unfolding since the controversial eleventh hour departure of defending champion Richie Porte, who, like his probable Giro d’Italia rivals, has opted for ‘la corsa dei due mari’, The Race of the Two Seas, otherwise known as Tirreno-Adriatico. The opening team time trial, although just 18.5 kilometres short, has already created significant splits – will this race be a portent of things to come in May? And, not to forget the fairer sex, the UCI has confirmed all nine rounds of the women’s World Cup will be televised. It seems our new prez Brian Cookson isn’t just talking the talk, he’s walking the talk. Or walking the walk. Or talking the walk. Anyway, he’s doing a lot of talking and walking. As for Al Hinds, Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan and special ‘novelty’ (as in new and unique, not cheap) guest Rob Arnold, publishing editor of RIDE Cycling Review, as per usual, they’re just talking. And talking. And talking.
There’s plenty of history being rewritten of late in road cycling circles, but with former Australian Institute of Sport rider Scott McGrory recently demystifying the ‘legend’ that is – or was – Charlie Walsh, the annals of Australian track cycling are also getting a thorough workout. In this week’s Cycling Central podcast, we – that being Al Hinds, Phil Gomes and Anthony Tan – speak to Jonathan Lovelock, author of ‘The Human Cost Of Gold Medals’, published today on the CyclingTips website, which follows up from the fallout created by McGrory’s nervy but stirring retrospective. We also get on the blower to Kevin Tabotta, performance director at Cycling Australia, to review the Cyclones’ medal tally-topping haul following the track world championships in Cali, Colombia, and ask what we can expect down the (pun alert!) track (at least we warned you!) as we move inexorably closer to the 2016 Games in Rio. The 72nd edition of the ‘Race to the Sun’, Paris-Nice, begins this Sunday. With no prologue, no time trial, and no hilltop finish it’s a surprisingly open parcours that could favour a puncheur like Simon Gerrans or Sylvain Chavanel or GC contender like Richie Porte or Tejay van Garderen; the only certainty, it seems, is that the cycling world will be watching. Aside from Strade Bianche and Roma Maxima also on this weekend there’s the Australian MTB championships – yes, we know, it’s only March and you’re already glued to the couch! – so Al and Tanny defer to the Wisdom of Phil, who guides us through the contenders hoping to book themselves a seat to Glasgow for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Ye up for that, laddies and lassies? If yoos say aye then press ‘play’!
Cycling Central's Anthony Tan speaks with Avanti's Jack Haig about what might've been if the final stage of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour had not been cancelled, and what the near future holds for the prodigious climber.
Live from SBS studios Artarmon we talk all things cycling from the week that was the 31 Jan-6 February. Mike Tomalaris hosts, joined by Al Hinds, while Anthony Tan and Sarah van Boheemen call in from afar to report in on happenings in Melbourne and New Zealand.
We're baaaaacck! Well, okay, we came back a week ago, but now, we’re officially back. Back in the Cycling Central studio at SBS HQ, that is. The mic’s have been cleaned out, the mic socks replaced (Tomo’s spitting, inevitably, got the better of them), the chairs reupholstered, the table re-lacquered, our Gustavo Fring lookalike, a.k.a. studio producer Dennis, has returned – unlike Fring, who died at the meth-laden hands of Walter White – but the regulars remain! Hosted by our in-house hipster Alex Hinds and accompanied by Cycling Central managing editor Phil Gomes and King (or should that be queen?) of Willunga Hill, Anthony Tan, the trio first get stuck into the Santos Tour Down Under, and reminisce and ruminate on a cracking start to the 2014 WorldTour calendar. Running concurrently with the TDU was the Tour de San Luis. Shambolic and uncivilized at times, superlative at others; should we have expected anything less? Adelaide may resemble a ghost town after the TDU peloton departed – but did you know the Australian track nationals are on this week at the Adelaide Super-Drome, and Wednesday night, golden girl Anna Meares clocked up her thirtieth national title?! And, further afield – okay, okay, *miles* away – in Hoogerheide, the Netherlands, the world’s best cyclo-crossers get down and dirty this weekend to fight for a bunch of rainbow jerseys. First person to stay upright and not break bike or bone wins… Or something like that. Hear us out now, yo!
