Thinking about downsizing your adventure bike? In this episode we test the waters with a Suzuki DR350—what it really takes to turn a lightweight, simple machine into a workable mini-adventure bike, the choices (and costs) that actually matter, and a few surprises that show up on both pavement and dirt. We start with durability—mirrors and signals, featuring the Doubletake Mirror origin story with Ned Suesse—and wrap with a technique reality check on small-vs-big from Chris Birch.

How many stories died with our grandparents because we didn't ask in time? In this Bro History segment, we get personal: a 1950s interfaith marriage (Methodist → Catholic conversion), Irish/Polish/Ukrainian roots, Puerto Rican and Palestinian family lines, language barriers, Alzheimer's, and the regrets that come with unanswered questions. We talk about identity across faiths and borders, what we'd ask our grandparents today—from the Naqba to Cold War escapes—and why you should call yours now. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – 1950s taboo? Henry's Catholic–Methodist grandparents & a conversion 01:05 – NYC then vs now: Irish UWS, German Upper East Side 02:00 – How they met: Army base in Lawton, OK → marriage → NYC 03:00 – “Did her parents care?” Interfaith in practice, not theory 03:50 – The regret: we waited too long to ask real questions 05:00 – Danny's side: tracing lineage envy, Ellis Island vs no records 06:00 – Puerto Rican roots, indigenous/Afro-Caribbean threads, losing language 08:00 – Palestinian father's side, displacement, Jordan, U.S. arrival 10:00 – Only-in-America pairing: Catholic Puerto Rican x Muslim Palestinian 11:00 – Naming, faith, and why the relationship didn't survive 13:30 – Interfaith realities: Christian–Jewish common, Christian–Muslim rare 15:00 – Stakes of belief vs secular mixes; community & raising kids 17:00 – Growing up Catholic as a community center vs diverse church worlds 19:00 – What we'd ask: prejudice, context, and uncomfortable truths 22:00 – Henry's European grandfather: expelled from Kyiv, smuggled out by servants 26:00 – Bike-racing champion, Poland to America pre-WWII 29:00 – Don Manolo: the Cuban refugee who slapped Castro's brother (wild story) 31:30 – Call your grandparents. Seriously. Before memory fades. 33:00 – Boomers aren't just “ok boomer”: moon landings, Vietnam, and real grind

The Mysterious Oregon Coast adventure is in the rearview mirror, but we always like to peek back before moving on. On this edition we marvel at the fun we had on a fairly cursed tour of some of our favorite parts of the Pacific coast!   Bike prep is key — but stuff still breaks. Even a tiny crank arm pin can end a day. Know shops and backup transport. Have Plans A–F ready. Flexibility and quick pivots kept the ride alive when mechanicals hit. Buses & rideshares save tours. Coastal transit and surprise Ubers kept us moving. Greatest hits still feel fresh. Cape Lookout, South Beach, Newport — new vibes, upgrades, and slower pacing. Weather's shifting. Got one classic foggy Yachats day, but most were sunnier/warmer — pack for both. Shorter mileage = more joy. 30–40 mi days let us linger in towns and stay energized. Hydrate & fuel early/often. Morning “camel up,” steady snacks, and Red Bulls beat last year's bonk. Hotel nights reset morale. Lincoln City, Yachats, Florence stays turned stress into mini-vacations. Logistics flexibility saves cash. Mid-trip flight/car/hotel changes avoided big losses. Ditch the perfect plan. Embracing detours and improvisation brought back the adventure and fun

Gravel bike? Adventure bike? Bikepacking rig? With a drop handlebar but wide tires, proper suspension on both ends, and geometry that makes sense for good times on dirt, the just-released Trek CheckOUT looks like it's ready for... well, just about anything, be it a quick singletrack rip or a race from Canada to the Mexican border. Will Tracy and Levy look into the CheckOUT's features, including its near-endless mounting points and the new, longer travel Rudy XL fork, and Levy shares his questionable opinion from a mountain biker's perspective.  Velo's managing editor, Will Tracy, is also grilled by Levy to find out how he became The Boss, his time working for Peloton magazine, the differences between print and online cycling media, and how watching a race as a young kid shaped the rest of his life.

A bike helmet is more than just gear, it's a non-negotiable for every triathlete. In this episode, Andrew is joined by Mike Buenting, Sports Marketing Manager at Rudy Project North America, to break down everything you need to know about helmets. From how they're made and how long they last, to whether built-in visors are worth it and if certain helmets really are faster (or safer), no question is off-limits. Do you need multiple helmets? Are some styles better for racing vs. training? Tune in and get the expert insights you need to confidently choose your next helmet.

Welcome to episode 184 of the Gnar Couch Podshow. We braved rare severe Utah thunderstorms, insane traffic, and stuffed our bikes in Corvettes this weekend to bring you Bienvenido Aguado, who shares everything from his front flip stories to how he manages to keep things fun when the pressure's on. As always, there's some friendly roasting, plenty of self-deprecating humor, and a healthy dose of just figuring it out as we go. We get into what it's really like to train for Rampage, the weirdness of telling someone your real name at a coffee shop, and weigh good vibes vs podiums. If you're here for polished interviews, you've taken a wrong turn. But if you want a look at the mountain bike scene that's raw, real, and maybe a little ridiculous, you're in the right place.

ADV-X in Canada turned out to be far more than just another riding event. By the end of the first day, faces were caked in dust, grins were everywhere, and the sense of camaraderie was undeniable. From trail-side fixes and overnight repairs to long mountain days, it was passion in motion—riders looking out for each other and a crew ensuring no one was left behind. Combine a world-class terrain with smart logistics that kept everything seamless, a spirit of fun, and you have an event that showcased the very best of adventure motorcycling in Canada. In this episode, you'll learn how the framework came together from Ryan Austin, instructor and owner of Enduro Park Canada in British Columbia—and hear from riders who lived those moments on the trail.

Two years ago to the day, Vital member, contributor and finance specialist, Jeff Brines, posted a question in our forum, "Will more companies be shutting down in the next 12-24 months?" A small, but exciting mountain bike brand, Guerrilla Gravity, surprisingly announced it was closing, and the rest of the industry was in the wake of the Covid boom. It was a dynamic time with plenty of uncertainty ahead, so the question Jeff asked was very relevant and our community was engaged.Fast-forward to today and that forum thread has 414,000 views and over 3,100 replies as the Vital community has followed the topic every day for the last two years. At the request of the thread's participants, we honor the anniversary of the topic as Shawn Spomer, Vital Content Director and Charlie Sponsel, Vital contributor, catch up with Jeff to look back and reflect on the health of the bike industry today and to speculate what may happen going forward.THANK YOU to all Vital MTB members who have participated in this discussion. We're honored to have such a fantastic community of bike riders on our platform.The one-year anniversary podcast with Jeff can be found hereThank you to FOX | Maxxis Tires | Jenson USA for supporting The Inside Line

A leisurely morning at South Beach State Park sets the stage for what should be the triumphant finale, but James's bike has one last surprise in store. Sometimes a cursed bike adventure is the best kind.

Fall is here, the days are shorter, and your rides might be winding down - but your fitness doesn't have to! In this episode, I'm talking about why the off-season is the perfect time to start strength training for mountain bikers and gravel cyclists. Here's what you'll learn:✨ Why Fall + Winter are prime time for gym gains✨ The biggest myths about strength training for cyclists (and the truth)✨ Simple ways to start lifting without overwhelm✨ How strength training makes you more durable, powerful, and faster on the bike Think of this as your off-season advantage - a way to turn downtime into your best riding season yet. And if you want the guesswork taken out? My #ShredStrong strength training program starts November 3rd and gives you the exact workouts you need to get stronger without feeling overwhelmed.

One of the character traits that elite athletes have is an insatiable curiosity to learn, grow, improve, and keep their training interesting.  Today we talk about being curious while training and how that helps athletes level up in their swim, bike, run and strength.  We discuss the difference between just going through the motion versus playing and trying new things when training.  We start with the swim, then move into the run and the bike.  What can you think about in each of these discplines while training to improve and play?  How can you be curious about how you are breathing or how your shoulders are moving and what that does to your form?  The best athletes are always thinking... and we are here to help you do the same. Have a listen!

The Great Disarmament Part 11: Fallout & Flower Powers. As nuclear fire darkened the sky, a global peace movement took root. This episode explores the cultural birth of The Great Disarmament—from Hiroshima to Haight-Ashbury, from anti-war protests to international arms control treaties, from monks on fire to flowers in rifles. We mark the year 1963—the year of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty—as the beginning of The Great Disarmament. Not the beginning of bombs. But the beginning of refusal. This turning point in Cold War history reminds us that resistance is not the opposite of despair. It is the antidote. Featuring the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the voice of Kurt Vonnegut through Slaughterhouse-Five, we trace how conscience, courage, and creative protest began to build a counterweight to destruction—and a new peace culture began to rise.

Sure, you could drive to the grocery store and to school. But wouldn't you rather grab a few hundred of your friends and bike-bus everywhere? The Verge's Andy Hawkins joins the show to tell us all about his adventures with electric cargo bikes, and why he thinks they're the ride of the future. After that, Lauren Feiner calls in from just outside a courthouse in Virginia, where she's watching the remedies trial in Google's adtech monopoly case. Google already lost the case; what happens next is still anyone's guess. Finally, David answers a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about how to feel about summarizing YouTube videos with AI.

What happens when life throws you its hardest challenges — and you decide to face them on a bicycle? In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, Richard talks with Risa August, author of The Road Unpaved: Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike. Her memoir chronicles her ride from Canada to Mexico while navigating a rare pituitary disease and the collapse of her marriage. Risa shares how cycling became a vehicle for resilience, healing, and rediscovery. From the fatigue of post-surgery recovery to relentless rainstorms, from group dynamics on the road to finding unexpected strength in vulnerability, her story is a powerful reminder that adventure is not just about distance — it's about courage.  

What makes a traveler who's been to over 60 countries, keep returning to one place, year after year? For our guest today, Boyang Xue, the answer is simple: Japan.In this episode, we dive into his unforgettable gap year in Japan—learning Japanese at the same university where Murakami once studied, biking for a week between Tokyo and Izu peninsula, camping under starlit skies, hopping slow trains all the way to Hokkaido, and hiking through landscapes that few tourists ever see.Charming and full of stories, he shares not just adventures from Japan, but also tales from Colombia, Italy, Switzerland, and beyond. But no matter where he goes, Japan remains his true travel love.Join us for an episode filled with adventures, mishaps, slow travel magic, and a whole lot of inspiration for anyone dreaming of exploring Japan differently.--------------------------------------Follow Boyang on LinkedIn --------------------------------------To pick up copies of our journal, click hereLike our work?

Modern motorcycles aren't just machines anymore—they're equipped with advanced technology. Ride-by-wire means your throttle hand communicates with a processor instead of a cable, and that computer considers wheel speed, lean angle, traction, braking, and more before deciding how your bike responds. With ride modes, you can adjust your bike's personality for pavement, gravel, mud, or rain—varying power delivery, traction control, ABS, and even suspension. In this Rider Skills episode, Clinton Smout of SMART Riding Adventures explains how understanding ride modes can enhance your safety, control, and enjoyment on every ride.

Today, Trek launched a bike that's sure to spark debate in comments sections. It's called the CheckOut. It features a new 60 mm travel front suspension fork, courtesy of the RockShox Rudy XL, and 55 mm rear travel to match. It fits gravel-width cranks and has official clearance for up to 56 mm tyres (about a 29x2.25in).However, it's the design and testing of this bike that brings our fascination up to a boiling point. Trek published a white paper explaining how it used a rolling road with 3D motion capture, on bike sensors, and a metabolic mask to understand the benefits of having suspension on typical gravel terrain. We had questions.So with that, Alex Bedinghaus (Lead Design Engineer) and Kyle Russ (Analysis team) jumped on to geek out with Escape's Dave Rome. The conversation covers the design of the bike, what modern off-road efficiency testing looks like, why gravel bikes continue to go where mountain bikes have been, and plenty more.Meanwhile, head over to Escape Collective.com to see Dave Rome's early coverage of the new Check Out.Those on the free feed for Geek Warning get the first 25 minutes free.

Gravel and mountain bike riders - do you ever wonder why your rides may wreck you? This episode is for you. I'm unpacking what happens to your body when you leave smooth roads behind and enter the world of rocks, roots, vibration, and uneven terrain. I dive deep into: Why gravel/singletrack eats up more energy (vibration, rolling resistance, micro-muscle work) What strength & stability you need (core, grip, posture) to ride harder and recover quicker How to adapt your training and recovery so you don't end up beat, broken, or burnt out Nutrition tips to fuel the rough: protein, electrolytes, and enough carbs Gear & technique hacks: tires, posture, line choice, letting the bike do some of the work Studies referenced if you want to nerd-out:• “Effects of vibration on efficiency in off-road cyclists” (PMID 33948546)• “Strength Training Improves Performance and Pedaling Characteristics in Elite Cyclists” (PMID 24862305)• “Optimizing strength training for running and cycling endurance performance” (PMID 23914932) If you ride gravel or mountain bike, or you want to get into it without paying the price in soreness and fatigue, then this is the episode to guide your next few weeks of training.

In this episode of Vacation Mavens, we are joined by adventure traveler and blogger Sherry Ott of OttsWorld. We dive into what it takes to plan a successful cycling vacation — everything from choosing destinations and tour types, to picking the right gear, training beforehand, and recovering well. Whether you're a biking newbie or looking to level up your next bike‐based trip, this one's packed with insights and practical advice. Sherry Ott is a long-time travel blogger (since 2006) specializing in adventure travel, especially for women. She started leading small group trips in 2018, including unique “cat lady tours” in Japan. Sherry began serious biking during the pandemic, upgrading to gravel bikes and exploring both domestic (U.S.) and international routes (Chile, France, Prince Edward Island). She is passionate about making bike travel accessible, safe, and fun for all skill levels. Episode Highlights Planning & Choosing a Trip Decide between guided and self-guided tours — guided trips offer support and community, while self-guided give you more flexibility. Research destinations with strong bike infrastructure (trail networks, signage, support). Check elevation, distance, and trail type (paved vs. gravel) to match your comfort level. Look for tour companies that provide e-bike options if you want extra support. Read reviews, ask about group size, and confirm whether you can bring your own gear (seat, mirror, pedals). Training & Fitness Prep Start riding regularly at home to build saddle time and comfort. Practice on terrain similar to your trip (gravel, hills, road). Work on balance, confidence, and endurance. Don't underestimate elevation — even moderate climbs can feel tough over multiple days. Safety & Comfort Gear Always bring your own helmet for the best fit and safety. Pack a rear-view mirror (handlebar or helmet mount) for traffic awareness. Wear bright, high-visibility clothing so drivers and riders can see you. Bring rain gear and layers — weather can shift quickly. Prioritize comfort over style on the bike. Recovery & Wellbeing Use compression socks or leggings (e.g. Vim & Vigor) to reduce muscle fatigue. Hydrate often and refuel with snacks during rides. Allow time for rest and stretching after long days. Be mindful of long flights post-trip — keep circulation flowing with compression wear and movement. Helpful Resources Adventure Cycling Association – maps, routes, and trip planning tools. Tour operators like Experience Plus, Biketours.com, and Backroads. Tourism boards for bike-friendly regions with trail networks and infrastructure.
