Riding a bike as a kid was a symbol of freedom, independence, and adventure.

Bas van Steenbergen has been a dual threat on his mountain bike for over a decade.  Part racer and part freerider, Bas has the rare ability to compete at the highest level in both disciplines.  While that's cool, his story is even better. Growing up overseas with his equally as rad little brother Tom, Bas, raced BMX until he moved to Canada and bought a mountain bike. And while he got on a big bike later than most, that didn't stop him and the rest is history.  On the podcast, we talk about the status of the bike industry, sponsorship, Downhill, Rampage, content and more.

Jonas Rickaert had a dream.A fast, chaotic sprint made even more interesting thanks to some heroics (or insanity? Fine line) from Mathieu van der Poel on the road to Chateauroux. Caley, Jonny, and Iain break down the stage.

Sprint day! It was a hot one in central France and Jonathan Milan won the drag race up a slight rise to take his first Tour de France stage. Did Alpecin-Decueuninck back the wrong man? And is Pogačar a threat for the green jersey? Caley, Jonny, and Iain break it all down and then extol the virtues of a Bergadou breakaway and discuss Feed Zone Gate. 

It's Tour time and tech editor Ronan McLaughlin has been on the ground capturing all the latest little tricks and tidbits. In this week's Geek Warning, Dave Rome, and Ronan get together to talk through some of the bigger tech stories and finds coming from the biggest race.Within you'll hear about new bikes from Merida and Cervelo, some behind-the-scenes sponsorship movements, how front derailleurs are becoming less common, and why the UCI's handlebar width ruling is likely set to change (again).In Ask a Wrench, members of Escape Collective will hear pro race mechanic Brad Copeland and Dave Rome answer questions related to rust-proofing steel frames, solving for a drooping chain, and how to solve the dreaded disc brake turkey gobble.

We thought it would be a breakaway day, and indeed it was. Ben Healy put on a show, sneaking away at just the right moment to take his first Tour stage win. Behind, weird decisions from UAE and Visma left the pod crew with many questions. Caley and Jonny are joined by pro photographer Zac Williams and reporter Chris Marshall Bell to break down the motivations of those big teams, how Healy pulled it off, and plenty more.

Time trial day! It's Ronan's Christmas, birthday, and birth of his first child all rolled into one. The man could not be more excited. Jonny and Caley, in contrast, are just hoping for literally anything interesting to happen. Lucky for us, it did. Jonas Vingegaard underperformed (or did he?), Remco Evenepoel smashed it, and sweet Kevin Vauquelin (or is it VauqueliCAN) rode his way into the top three. 

Another lumpy finish, another string of attacks, another brave French boy, and Pogačar's first (and 100th) stage win. Caley, Jonny, and Ronan come to you from Rouen where they discuss the finale, Evenepoel's motivation level, Ralph Denk's aura farming, and much more. 

Teri M Brown is an Award-Winning Author of Character-Driven Fiction, TEDx Speaker, host of the Online for Authors podcast, co-host of The Writer's Lounge podcast, and motivational speaker who connects readers with characters they would love to invite to lunch.   She is the author of three novels as well as her recently published book titled “10 Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure,” which is an inspirational account of her tandem ride across the United States, a journey consisting of 3102 miles during the summer of 2020 which helped her heal her heart and her spirit from an emotionally abusive 14 yearlong marriage and also find the courage to publish her first novel.   Teri shares her incredible and inspiring story of how she and her husband, a Marine and a cyclist, made the decision to ride across the continental US on a tandem bicycle in 2020. At the time, Teri was seventy pounds overweight, hadn't ridden a bike since she was a child, had never even seen a tandem bicycle let alone ride one, and was still reeling from her previous emotionally abusive marriage. As a result, she struggled with herself-image, insecurity, and lack of confidence and self-worth. She describes the process of planning and preparing for the trip, which included how to ride in tandem with a partner, and learning to trust each other along the way. Teri also describes the many challenges they faced dealing with the pandemic and the closures and the obstacles they had to navigate along the way.  She shares her remarkable story with open honesty and a remarkable sense of humor, along with the many lessons she learned along the way, including the realization that she could accomplish anything she set her mind to, finding her self-worth and value, regained her confidence, and many other valuable insights which led her to create her “10 Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure.”  Most of all, Teri would like all of us to understand that our happiness matters, that we all need to discover what we are capable of by getting out of our comfort zone, how embracing challenging adventures helps us find our value and self-worth, to never quit on a bad day, and so much more!  Download this positive, uplifting, and inspiring episode to hear Teri's story, and learn how we can apply her “10 Rules for a Doble-Butted Adventure” in every aspect of our lives. Great story, and fascinating conversation!            Connect with Teri: https://www.terimbrown.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TeriMBrownAuthor https://x.com/terimbrown1 https://www.pinterest.com/terimbrownauthor/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaQ6p-EOSGd1tEeWijQSl9A https://www.instagram.com/terimbrown_author https://www.linkedin.com/in/TeriMBrown/ https://www.tiktok.com/@terimbrown_author

A whole lot of nothing, then lots all at once. That was the feeling from stage 3 of the Tour de France, where a processional day was punctuated by a nasty crash and the exit of Jasper Philipsen, then even more crashes in a hectic finale in Dunkirk. Caley, Jonny, and Ronan break down the stage, bring you news from Bryan Coquard and the Cofidis bus, and more. 

The French boys were so brave today. Caley, Ronan and Jonny bring you the latest from stage 2 of the Tour de France, where Mathieu van der Poel soared to the stage win and was handed the yellow jersey by Alpecin-Deceuninck teammate Jasper Philipsen. Elsewhere, we've got the latest on Remco Evenepoel heading to the exit door at Soudal-Quick Step, and likely off to Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe.

In the second half Alon is joined by Cypriot teenagers Dora Turk and Konstantinos Pavlou who talk about cycling in their Mediterranean island and about the group Creating Friendship for Peace which brings together youth in divided lands.

Visma-Lease a Bike is not going to roll over this week. Stage 1 of the 2025 Tour de France was a cracker, for a sprint stage, with wind and crashes playing a role in setting early GC gaps and Jasper Philipsen pulling on the first yellow jersey of the Tour. Caley, Jonny, and Ronan join you from a canalside in Lille, 50 meters from the Visma bus. We hear from Matteo Jorgenson on his team's plan and how it was executed, do a little Echelon 101 schooling, and smell a few smells.

The Bicycles has been around for over a hundred years in one form or another. Folks have done some really strange things while on them. Folks have had some strange encounters while out riding. Here are a few stories of the adventures some have had on their two wheeled vehicles.

Welcome back to the Tour Daily! These are our daily Tour de France episodes, brought to you by the same crew as Spin Cycle. We're on the ground in France, Lille specifically, to take in the vibes, ask questions at press conferences, and generally get this bike race started. In this first Tour episode, Ronan, Jonny and Chris Marshall-Bell gather on a grassy field next to a bar to cap off what has been an inauspicious start to the 2025 Tour de France for Escape Collective. Nevertheless, they bring you the latest from the pre-Tour press conferences and Ronan has been wandering around sniffing out some tech truffles.

Cycling's a beautiful sport. It's also a nightmare for new fans to get into – a mess of jargon, history, and tactics. Journalism professor (and new cycling fan) Holly Johnson has questions, and together with Iain Treloar, is on a mission to decipher pro cycling. In the first episode: a chat with Jonathan Vaughters about how teams work.

In this special Performance Process x Geek Warning crossover, Dave Rome grills Ronan Mc Laughlin about every technical detail from his 3,000 km unsupported lap of Ireland. From aero bag hacks and drivetrain quirks to cleat regrets and a failed light, this is a deep dive into the tech setup behind a truly personal and punishing ultra-endurance ride. Ronan shares what worked, what didn't, and what he'd change next time – all while reflecting on how the gear supported his mission to raise awareness for food allergy research.The fundraiser is still open here, every contribution makes a real difference.• £10 provides allergy education packs for a school• £25 trains 50 teachers to support allergic kids• £100 covers a life-saving dose of treatment for a child• £1,500 funds six months on the life-changing Natasha Clinical TrialHitting the target, could fund 20 trial places for allergic children, and take a real step toward a future where no child has to live in fear of their food.

At 96 years old, Jimmy Pattison still runs his $16 billion empire personally.  He's built it over 63 years without outside capital or a college degree. He owns 100% of car dealerships, billboards, radio stations—even Ripley's Believe It or Not—with a philosophy of: "No partners, no shareholders, no relatives."  This episode reveals the principles behind one of North America's great private empires: how to build and compound a reputation, why the best deals happen in silence, and what a Japanese bicycle taught him about operational excellence. You'll learn the hidden advantage of selling “souvenir editions” instead of newspapers, how he turned a ghost radio station into a ratings leader overnight, and why he once fired the entire bottom 10% of his staff—then took them out for steak.  Most people play for approval. Pattison plays for permanence through reputation, relentless clarity, and never mistaking flash for fundamentals.  This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Jimmy: An Autobiography by Jim Pattison and Paul Grescoe.  Check out highlights from these books in our repository, and find key lessons from Pattison here—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/outliers-jimmy-pattison/ Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: （00:00) How a Teen Sold Yesterday's News（01:10) Jimmy Pattison's Billion-Dollar Playbook（03:24) The Debt That Built Character（05:41) Part 1: Foundations - The Boy Who Sold Seeds Door-To-Door（06:52) When Victory Becomes a Liability（08:46) The University of Used Cars（10:02) The Art of the Close（13:30) When Business Becomes Theater（15:22) The Price of Independence（16:36) The Pattern（17:44) Part 2: Starting to Build - Back to Zero（18:09) The Price of Independence（20:08) Bleeding Money（21:11) The Secret Weapon（22:11) The Main Street Disaster（23:09) Dead Air to Hot Air（24:33) The Ghost Station（25:40) The Conglomerate Dream（27:03) The Target（28:24) Cold Calling Wall Street（29:35) The Silent Hunt（30:49) The Takeover（31:36) Part 3: Neonex International - Perfect Timing, Wrong Direction（32:09) The Magic Money Machine（34:17) The Toast Order（35:06) The Forbidden Target（36:15) The Christmas Surprise（37:27) The Bluff（38:07) The Unraveling（39:07) The Education（40:27) Part 4: The Jim Pattison Group of Companies - Returning the Paintings（40:49) The Corporate Confession（42:08) The New Operating System（44:01) The Dinner That Changed Everything（46:23) The Great Escape（47:31) The Boy and the Bicycle（49:07) The Quality Revolution（51:14) Part 5: The Empire Builder - Still at the Wheel（51:47) The New Playbook（54:17) The Grocery Gambit（55:13) The Media Monopoly（55:52) The Numbers Game（57:20) The Ultimate Lesson（59:15) Reflections and Lessons Upgrade—If you want to hear my thoughts and reflections at the end of all episodes, join our membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fs.blog/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and get your own private feed.

It's Tour de France time! This is the last regular episode of Spin Cycle before it turns into the Tour Daily. Caley, Jonny, and Dane run through the weekend's national championship stories and then dive into a preview of the upcoming Tour de France, with a heavy focus on a wild first week. We've got picks (Fantasy and otherwise), guesses, even some rampant speculation. This is Free Week at Escape Collective, so everybody gets access to After Dark this week. Today, we've got a look at Patrick Lefevere's reaction to our story about a rift in his team last week, an intense discussion of how much we'd pay for photos of his feet, plus member meetups in Lille, and a little tease of a story coming this weekend. 

Today on the Spin Cycle podcast, Caley, Dane, and Jonny discuss quel le fuq is going on in French cycling at the minute, buttering you up before we descend into the topic of whether monsieur moins sept is trying to worm his way back into cycling.We then have some transfer rumours to update you on and a weird doping story to finish things off.

We're not sure we've ever experienced a busier month in the world of cycling tech. All the major drivetrain manufacturers have released new things. We've had two custom bike shows and now it's the world's largest cycling tradeshow - Eurobike. And the tech conversations in the racing world have been a flurry of activity, too.In this episode, you'll hear the voices of the entire Escape tech editorial staff. Ronan McLaughlin, Dave Rome, and Alex Hunt share their thoughts on new Shimano GRX, Classified's update, BMC's new SLR01, and plenty more. Then, Josh Weinberg and Suvi Loponen tease what they're seeing on the ground at Eurobike.As usual, members of Escape Collective also get our Ask a Wrench segment, which this week sees Dave Rome and pro race mechanic Brad Copeland answer a handful of questions, including: when to rewax a waxed chain; repairing a crashed aluminium rim brake bike and perhaps what to repalce it with; and our thoughts on mini hooked road rims.

What does it mean to be free? Sometimes it means two wheels and an open road. This episode is a love song to and a celebration of the bicycle--from a dead-end American suburb, to a trail in Quebec, to a train station in Amsterdam. This is a story about how a few spinning gears can change the world.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Nate Jackson joins Adam in studio! They kick things off talking about Nate's stand up shows at the iconic Wiltern Theater and dive into how different comics attract different kinds of crowds.

Rich Manley Returns! Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know even more about Rich Manley. This magician, illusionist, actor, and adventurer first appeared on the show 11-30-2020. This is where you find the story of his journey so far. In this episode, we chat about the upcoming SECOND season of his adventure show 'Culture Shock: Bridging Culture Through Magic', on TUBI TV. We also discuss being an illusionist, and some of his insane magic tricks. Then we talk about some of the adventures that he has had on his travels, including some of the weird stuff that he has been asked to eat in faraway lands! We do touch a tiny bit on a couple of his acting projects, where he worked with Barry Bostwick on one, and Michael Pare on another. We then get into his touring live show with Wiggle Room Entertainment, called 'Diary of Magic', and poke a bit of fun at his producer on that show. Finally, we talk about some of the cool things available on his website. One of which is that he has his own custom set of Bicycle brand playing cards! Pay special attention, because Rich and I have teamed up to give away FIVE decks of these exquisite sets! Follow him everywhere and make sure to tune into his adventures live and on TUBI.

On April 19, 2020, 19-year-old David Miner IV of Frederick, Maryland, just wanted to take some acid, play video games and celebrate the psychedelic holiday known as Bicycle Day.

Well, some of the knee-jerk predictions made last Friday didn't last very long, did they? Tadej Pogačar showed everyone who's boss at the Dauphine, and we wait with baited breath to see if he somehow messed something up going into the Tour de France. Caley's back from a successful foray into lobstering and is joined by Jonny and Kit to break down the weekend's racing. Then the three turn their attention to the other big story from the weekend, an incoming ban on a number of go-faster gear, including narrow handlebars. Has the UCI even lost Caley on this one, a man who thoroughly hates the narrow bar trend? Seems so.
