This week's episode is perhaps a little more behind the scenes than most. Ronan tells Dave about his nine-month tyre-testing project and why he is now ready to actually test tyres. There's chat about the struggles in picking products for our favourite things lists. And you'll hear a conversation that involves a lot of cliches such as ‘you don't know what you don't know' and ‘listen to your bike and body'. Of course, there's a PSA, and somehow the conversation even turns to elephant asses. Oh yes, the Geeks cover some real ground in this one!Members of Escape Collective get all of that plus the Ask a Wrench segment (with pro mechanic Brad Copeland). It's a big segment this week with five questions answered, but like every other week, it's only available on the member-feed. Speaking of which, members can now access these episodes on Spotify!Time stamps:00:45 - Ronan's long-awaited tyre testing15:10 - The struggle of picking our favourite products23:00 - It's the last 5% that counts the most39:00 - The latest Rabbit Holes42:00 - PSA: The organised mess51:00 - Ask a Wrench (members only)52:00 - Servicing hubs and dealing with freehub drag1:01:25 - Singlespeeds and chain wear1:08:30 - Toe spikes and dealing with faulty shoes1:14:00 - Our preferred safety window for Hookless Road1:21:00 - A torque adapter question

When you are a brand selling products that fuel a lifestyle, there can often be a ton of education, inspiration, and connection that needs to happen with the shopper before they convert. The team at Brompton Bicycles, creator of the foldable bike, is led in the Americas by Juliet Scott-Croxford. One of the marketing approaches they have refined to achieve that connection is bespoke campaigns with influencers that can attract new consumers and inspire a test drive. She joins the podcast today to walk us through the power of authentic influence and, done right, the multiple KPIs it can drive to enhance a brand and accelerate a sale.

Big wheels, a product recall, and another rant about poor bike design – oh yes, it's time for Geek Warning.This week Dave and Ronan return to your digital radios. On the list is a sneaky disappearance of a liked SRAM product, news from UCI regarding 32in wheels, and a recall from Trek. Some time on the tools has Dave ranting about a particularly bad example of internal cable routing, and of course, there's a PSA.Members of Escape Collective get access to the full episode, which includes our popular Ask a Wrench segment (this week with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland).

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   Many dogs start spinning, barking, or rushing when the leash comes out or you head toward the door, but what if the hidden source of that on leash chaos actually begins earlier than you think? In this episode, I'm sharing how to uncover what is reinforcing your dog's unwanted behaviors and how to build calm, connected exits using simple conditioning strategies and games so every walk begins with confidence and connection rather than chaos and pulling.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why some dogs react long before the walk even starts. • What "follow the money" means and how it reveals the real reason your dog is getting overexcited. • A real-life example of reinforcement patterns we often miss. • How picking up the leash becomes a conditioned emotional trigger for many dogs. • Ways to create a positive C.E.R. around touching the leash. • Why the connected Collar Grab is valuable for creating calm focus. • How adding the cue "connect" helps dogs check-in reliably. • What connected exits look like at low distraction levels. • How toys, bowls, and movement create opportunities to strengthen connection. • Why creating small daily "moments of connection" builds great habits. • How a simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) can set every walk up for success.   Resources:   1.

Since April 2023, more than a half-million people have been displaced in Sudan due to fighting between two armed forces who were once aligned. The story of how the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces turned on each other, with devastating consequences for Sudan's civilians, can be traced back to 2013 when a group of dissidents were told by their interrogators to ride a bicycle drawn with chalk on the wall of a Sudanese jail. Detained for providing legal support to torture survivors, Human Rights Watch researcher Mohamed “Mo” Osman was introduced to the power structures that have shaped today's conflict. In “The Chalk Bicycle,” host Ngofeen Mputubwele takes listeners through a decade that began with conflict, then saw the ousting of a dictator and great hopes for democracy only to be plunged back into conflict again.

Bicycle touring numbers feel like they're down—fewer loaded panniers on the road, Adventure Cycling Association facing major financial headwinds, and a lot of long-time tourers quietly aging out. But is touring actually in decline, or is it just shifting into something that looks different—like bikepacking, gravel, and shorter, more flexible trips? In this episode I dig into Adventure Cycling's recent membership and financial update, talk through generational and economic trends, and explore whether we're seeing the end of an era… or just the end of one version of it. Is Bicycle Touring in Decline? What the ACA Letter Tells Us Recent email to ACA membership on a vote regarding selling their building in Missoula Membership down from almost 40,000 in 2023 to about 18,000 today. Donations down. Demand for guided tours has softened. Sales of maps/routes have dropped with free digital tools and GPS routes everywhere. Their diagnosis Members aging out of cycling. Some people don't feel enough value in a paid membership. Travel patterns are changing; inflation and costs are up; maybe fewer people committing to long guided tours. The building sale piece: ACA can sell their big, underutilized Missoula headquarters for ~$2.55M, then lease back just the space they need. The goal is to buy a "runway" of a few years to rebuild membership and modernize programs (digital experience, routes, tours, events). This is serious—membership halving in a couple of years is not a blip. But this is one institution. It's a single data point, not the whole story. Is ACA's Crisis Proof That Touring Is Dying? Possible "touring is in trouble" interpretation: If the biggest U.S. touring org is shrinking, maybe demand really is falling. Fewer people willing to pay for routes, maps, and guided tours could indicate less interest in traditional loaded touring. Alternative explanations: Value perception problem: If you can download GPX routes for free, people might not feel like they need a membership. Younger riders may not connect with a membership model or a print magazine in the same way. Business model problem vs. touring problem: Guided tours and paper maps are specific products. Those can decline even if DIY touring thrives. If a streaming-era kid doesn't buy DVDs, it doesn't mean movies are dead—just that the business model changed. Same question here: is ACA Blockbuster, or are movies in trouble? The Aging Out Effect The ACA explicitly mentions aging out of cycling. Talk through generational dynamics: A lot of classic touring energy came from the boomers and older Gen X. Long, multi-week tours require time, health, and often retirement or very flexible work. People aging out doesn't necessarily mean the activity is dying, but: If younger generations aren't replacing those numbers, you get a visible decline. Touring can look intimidating: expensive gear, big time commitments, safety fears. Possible barriers for younger riders: Student debt, unstable housing, fewer long chunks of vacation, higher baseline anxiety around traffic and climate disasters (heat, smoke, extreme weather). The Rise of Bikepacking and Off-Road Travel Ttouring may just be changing costume: More folks are drawn to bikepacking and gravel: lighter gear, off-road routes, "adventure" branding. Social media and brands push a certain aesthetic: frame bags, dirt roads, epic photography. Contrast vibes: Classic touring: fenders, racks, panniers, highways, small towns, campgrounds. Bikepacking: singletrack/doubletrack, BLM land, forest roads, more "expedition-y", often shorter but punchier trips. If someone is out for five days with bags on their bike, sleeping outside and moving every day… and we're calling that bikepacking instead of touring… did touring really decline, or did it just get relabeled? Is bikepacking now the umbrella term for bike adventuring? Is It Just a (pardon the pun) Cycle? Historical perspective: There was a big touring boom in the 1970s and again mini-waves around the early 2000s . We thought the 2020 COVID bike boom would impact things, but did it? Outdoor sports often rise and fall with the economy, culture, and media stories. Economic cycle: High inflation, higher travel costs, and general uncertainty can make long trips harder. At the same time, travel has become more fragmented: people take 3-day trips instead of 3-week odysseys. Cultural cycle: Right now, gravel and ultra-events (Unbound, etc.) get the headlines. Touring is slow and unsexy by comparison. Slow unsexy things tend to look "dead" for a while… until the next backlash against all the hype and burnout. We might be in the hangover phase after the COVID bike boom and a big cultural swing toward short, 'epic' experiences. Other Factors That Make Touring Feel Smaller Safety and traffic fears: distracted driving, speed, road rage, social media amplifying every horror story. Climate and weather extremes: heat domes, wildfire smoke, storms—touring has always danced with weather, but now the dice feel loaded. Information overload: paradoxically, infinite online info can make people freeze and not choose any tour. Shift to micro-touring: overnighters, weekend campouts, credit-card touring instead of epic cross-country runs. That looks less visible on the ACA radar but might be the real growth area. What ACA's Plan Signals About the Future Positive outlook: Selling an underused building to buy time to modernize could be a good sign. It's a choice to adapt instead of slowly bleed out. They're explicitly planning to invest in: More routes and route updates Digital and website improvements Stronger advocacy tools Expanded tours and member events The big question: Can an organization built around old touring models reinvent itself for a world of bikepacking, GPS, and dispersed, remote communities? Will they pivot toward being the hub for all forms of bike travel, not just pannier touring? Final Take: Is Touring Actually in Decline? Yes, in the classic sense. Fewer people paying for memberships, maps, and guided pannier tours. The touring demographic that built ACA is shrinking and aging. No, if you widen the definition. Bikepacking, mixed-surface, overnighters, and "ride-to-your-Airbnb" trips are essentially touring by another name. People are still traveling by bicycle; they're just doing it with different gear and routes. Mostly, it's in a messy transition. Legacy institutions and business models are under intense pressure. New formats (digital communities, route-sharing platforms, YouTube, social media) are where a lot of the energy lives now. The story isn't "touring is dying"—it's "touring is migrating." Go on any kind of bike trip—overnight, credit-card, dirt, paved, doesn't matter. Support whichever orgs, creators, or communities actually help them get out the door (ACA, local groups, creators, etc.). If you're an ACA member, vote on the building sale by November 24. Whatever side you land on it seems like this will likely define things for ACA for the next several years. •Bike touring has always been a niche. The question isn't whether the niche survives—it's what form it takes for the next generation. And we all get to shape that.

This final installment of the Orogenesis Dispatches series, which features host Josh Weinberg interviewing ultra endurance cyclist Kurt Refsnider, who has just completed the first full ride of the Orogenesis route – a massive backcountry mountain bike trail traversing the western U.S. from Canada to Mexico. The episode reflects on the full journey, covering logistics, experiences, highs and lows, and what's next.After riding for 72 of the past 82 days, Refsnider had just completed his ride and was enjoying some downtime before heading out again, this time to tackle Mexico's Baja Divide Trail. He detailed how, during his time following the Orogenesis route, he rode 3,130 miles (~5,000 km) and climbed nearly 413,000 ft (~126,000 m) of elevation across three states and a mix of singletrack (40%), pavement (10%), and a remainder or dirt tracks and Jeep roads.Looking back on the past three months, Refsnider talks of how the adventure was both a personal and collective effort. He experienced Orogenesis firsthand and tested what a purpose-built, bike-specific, transcontinental singletrack route feels like, while also demonstrating that the route “goes,” hopefully inspiring others to attempt it and validate the years of planning by the Orogenesis team. He also offers key highlights from the experience, lessons learned, and a deep dive into the gear he selected for the journey.

In this episode of K9's Talking Scents, I sit down with Dr. Melanie Uhde from Canine Decoded for an in-depth conversation about canine neuroscience and puppy development. We explore the critical early developmental periods, how a puppy's brain processes learning differently than an adult dog, and the science behind fear periods.Dr. Uhde breaks down complex neuroscience concepts into practical insights for dog trainers and handlers, discussing everything from the pros and cons of early detection training to the role of dopamine, cortisol, and serotonin in behavior. We also dive into controversial topics like the balanced vs. force-free training debate, the increasing use of anxiety medications in dogs, and fascinating cultural differences between how dogs are raised and treated in the US versus Germany.Whether you're raising a puppy, training detection dogs, or just fascinated by canine behavior and neuroscience, this conversation offers valuable insights backed by science and real-world experience.Guest:Dr. Melanie Uhde - Canine Neuroscientist & Founder of Canine DecodedFind Dr. Melanie Uhde:Instagram: @caninedecodedYouTube: Dr. Melanie Uhde / Canine DecodedWebsite: Canine DecodedChapters0:00:00 - Introduction & Welcome0:02:19 - Canine Decoded Update: Growth & New Programs0:04:31 - Navigating the Balanced vs Force-Free Debate0:12:01 - The Science Communication Challenge0:24:05 - Peer Review Process: Behind the Scenes0:42:25 - Research in Dog Training: What Makes Good Science0:56:42 - Puppy Brain Development: 8-10 Weeks1:06:00 - Fear Periods: What to Watch For1:13:54 - Managing Novel Objects & Environmental Exposure1:17:45 - Starting Detection Work Early: Pros & Cons1:19:12 - Resilience & Stress Recovery in Puppies1:20:18 - Learning from Hunting Dog Communities1:24:15 - Olfaction vs Vision: How Dogs Process Information1:29:05 - Drive, Arousal & Optimal Learning States1:32:52 - Possessiveness & Social Dynamics in Dogs1:37:47 - Cultural Differences: US vs Germany Pet Stores1:40:00 - Dog Culture in Germany vs United States1:47:33 - Wrap Up & Where to Find Dr. Uhde

Top Stories for November 8th Publish Date: November 8th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, November 8th and Happy Birthday to Margaret Mitchell I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lawrenceville's Hooper-Renwick Themed Library earns Redevelopment Project of the Year honors Rick Case Bikes for Kids Accepting Bicycle Donations Gwinnett Tech boards earn statewide honors for exemplary leadership and governance All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Lawrenceville's Hooper-Renwick Themed Library earns Redevelopment Project of the Year honors The Hooper-Renwick Themed Library in Lawrenceville just snagged the title of Medium Redevelopment Project of the Year at the Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit—and honestly, it’s well-deserved. This isn’t just a library. It’s a reimagining of the historic Hooper-Renwick School, once the only public school for Black students in Gwinnett County. Now, it’s a space that blends the past and present—a library, a museum, a place for storytelling and connection. The project preserves the school’s legacy while creating a vibrant community hub. STORY 2: Rick Case Bikes for Kids Accepting Bicycle Donations Got an old bike collecting dust? Rick Case Bikes for Kids is back, and they’re asking the community to help spread some holiday magic. Through Dec. 20, Rick Case dealerships are accepting gently used bicycles to give to kids who might not otherwise have one. For 44 years, this program has delivered over 122,000 bikes to children through groups like Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, and local schools. “A first bike is unforgettable,” says Rita Case, CEO of Rick Case Automotive Group. “For many of these kids, it’s their first taste of freedom.” Drop-offs are easy—locations in Duluth and Roswell are open daily. STORY 3: Gwinnett Tech boards earn statewide honors for exemplary leadership and governance Gwinnett Technical College is having a moment—two big milestones worth celebrating. First, the Gwinnett Tech Foundation Board of Trustees was named a 2025 Role Model Board, a pretty big deal in the world of technical education. Why? Because it’s only given to boards that go above and beyond in leadership, advocacy, and making a real difference. And then there’s this: for the 16th year in a row, every single member of the Gwinnett Tech Board of Directors earned certification. Sixteen years! That’s dedication. “These achievements show just how committed our boards are to student success and workforce development,” said Dr. Glen Cannon, Gwinnett Tech’s president.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Stolen trailer leads Gwinnett police to cache of guns and drugs in Doraville home What started as a stolen trailer report in Norcross turned into something much bigger—a stash of guns and drugs uncovered in Doraville, according to Gwinnett County police. It began on Oct. 30, when officers used Flock license plate readers to track the stolen trailer to a vehicle tied to Matthew Davis. A visit to Davis’s home revealed the trailer, now sporting a swapped license plate. But that wasn’t all. A search warrant led officers to more than 30 firearms, fentanyl, meth, and prescription drugs inside the house. No charges yet, but detectives are asking for tips. STORY 5: Mall of Georgia preparing for the holidays and visits with Santa Santa’s back at the Mall of Georgia, and he’s ready for his close-up! You can catch him at the Simon Photo Experience all the way through Christmas Eve. Pro tip: hours vary, so snag a reservation if you can. But Santa’s not just sticking to photos—he’s making the rounds. On Nov. 15, he’ll join the Grinch and Papa Elf for the Tree Lighting Ceremony (7 p.m.), complete with live reindeer, face painting, and *The Polar Express*. Got a furry friend? Pet photos with Santa are happening Nov. 23, 6:30–8:30 p.m. And for families with special needs, there’s a quieter event Dec. 7, 8:30–10 a.m. STORY 6: FIRST LOOK: COhatch Lawrenceville set to open Monday COhatch is bringing its coworking magic to Lawrenceville, opening Monday, Nov. 10, at 190 S. Clayton St. This isn’t your typical office—it’s 30 private offices, four meeting rooms, event space, and even a patio for when you need a little fresh air (or just an excuse to work outside). The vibe? Community-focused. Think high-speed internet, shared kitchens, and spaces designed to connect people from all walks of life. “We want to create inspiring spaces right in the heart of neighborhoods,” says COhatch CEO Matt Davis. STORY 7: Gwinnett Stripers Launch 'Hooked on Books' Reading Program The Gwinnett Stripers are stepping up to the plate with *Hooked on Books*—their first-ever free reading program for elementary students in Gwinnett County. Here’s the deal: read four books, “round the bases,” and score two free tickets to a 2026 Stripers game. Teachers and staff? You’re in on the free tickets, too. Schools can join in two ways: - **Campus Assembly:** Chopper the Groundhog and friends bring the hype with a 30-minute pep rally (if you’re within 15 miles of Coolray Field). - **Virtual Option:** A fun video and all the details sent straight to you. The program runs Jan. 12–March 16, with an April 1 deadline. Details at GoStripers.com.

Priority Cycles may be a new brand to the full-suspension MTB world, but they've got a ton of experience building belt-drive, gearbox bikes — and now they've launched the Vanth, a remarkably affordable high-pivot Pinion gearbox-equipped Enduro bike. So, why did Priority decide to enter the full-suspension bike market now, how did they come up with the wild-looking Vanth design, and what makes the Vanth so much more affordable than most other full-suspension gearbox bikes? We dive into all that and much more with Eddie Meek of Priority and Mike Schwartz, who served as an engineering consultant on the project.RELATED LINKS:Blister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideGet Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Introducing Eddie (3:20)The Priority brand (4:38)Introducing Mike (6:34)Why a high-pivot Enduro bike?
