Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026This week we dive into cycling's hidden underground economy. From counterfeit carbon frames that look identical to top-tier bikes—but could fail catastrophically—to contaminated supplements that might get you banned without you ever knowing, and the organised crime rings stealing and exporting thousands of bikes every year. What started as one suspicious online listing quickly turned into a deep rabbit hole involving lab tests, anti-doping rules, and even FBI investigations. If you ride, race, or spend money on bikes and gear, this episode will change how you think about where your equipment—and your nutrition—really comes fromA BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

What happens when two artists fall in love over bikes, move to a trail town, and decide to build a better way to move families and elders? We sit down with Elysia Springer of Bentonville-based Gnargo Bike Co to share the story of a pandemic garage project that grew into a community-powered company.Elysia unpacks how early prototypes and human-centered designs transformed into sustainable transportation, local manufacturing, and practical urban mobility. And then emerges the success of the trishaw. We dive into the design challenges of steering, curb handling, and wheelchair access, and how Gnargo brought an American-made option to communities sidelined by import delays and tariffs. Throughout, we explore Gnargo's circular model: paying community bike shops for donor frames, turning scrap into cargo haulers, and funding local chapters through trishaw sales. Gnargo's ask is simple —use rebates to shop local and handmade, and help build a mobility ecosystem where joy is a design spec.

You chimed in and the name of our podcast, Bikes: Unaffiliated will remain. In this episode, Jason Schroeder, Shawn Spomer and Lars Sternberg tackle an assortment of random bike and non-bike subjects like why was our tech forum picking on Dario from Pinkbike, why didn't Spomer answer Lopes' phone call, should we test a 32-inch-wheeled hardtail, what is Epicly Later'd, the DHR II sucks as a front tire, why don't Lars or Jason like radials and plenty more.

By day, Kristin Sundin Brandt is the President and Owner of Sundin Marketing, a communications pro, and a working mom. But on the trails and roads of New England, she's an amateur athlete with a collection of seven (and counting) bicycles. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Kristin about her love of mountain biking, the "no-pedal" bike mystery, and why she firmly believes that falling off your bike is the best way to keep your mind flexible as you get older. In this episode we learned: Why Kristin owns seven different bikes and how each one serves a unique purpose (from gravel to fat-tire winter riding). The mystery of the "pedal-less" bike and why high-end bikes often come without them. What Zwift is and how it turns a sweaty indoor bike session into a massive multiplayer video game. Why padded shorts are a cyclist's best friend—and why you should never wear underwear beneath them. The philosophy of the "intentional crash" to stay "bendy" and resilient as you age. Why tandem bikes are known as "divorce machines" (and why Kristin steered clear after one try). Want to know more about Kristin?

This week, Da7e and Neil move from Westeros to the Monsterverse as Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns for its second season.In The Calm [06:24], they recap the story so far and piece together where the events of season one (and season two's premiere) fit on the larger timeline of Legendary's Titan-filled story world. They also discuss Kong Skull Island and how Kong and his neighborhood have evolved since the 2017 film.Then in The Storm [59:32], they look ahead to episode two and beyond, attempting to predict what will be this season's big technological MacGuffin. They also discuss a few wild theories about where this series may ultimately end.And finally, in a very special new segment called The Godzilla Project [01:16:20], Da7e leads Neil through Session Zero of a new "Kids on Bikes"-inspired roleplaying experience. Over the next 10 weeks, Neil will create his own Godzilla movie project and be at the mercy of Da7e's dungeon master expertise and numerous dice rolls to see if he can deliver a successful entry in the Monsterverse franchise.Next week, Monarch season two continues with episode two, "Resonance," on Friday.

We're less than two months out from Sea Otter, and the floodgates have started to open, with all sorts of new product launches happening this week.

The government is proposing to make it legal to ride e-scooters in cycle lanes, and have children 12 and under ride their bikes on the footpath. Transport Minister Chris Bishop says it is part of its work to "fix the basics" in the New Zealand transport system, with consultation opening today on two packages for rule changes. Political reporter Lilian Hanly spoke to Lisa Owen.

Charlie Hedges completes her challenge and the listeners help Greg name his tandem.

Lisa Congdon is one of my favorite people to follow online. Her colorful art, love for bikes, and bravery in speaking up for causes she believes in are all deeply inspiring to me.At 58, Lisa is a shining example of what's possible in the second half of our lives. She started riding bikes consistently in her 40s and didn't start racing until her 50s. In this podcast episode, we discuss what drew Lisa to endurance racing, how working with a coach transformed her relationship with cycling, and why she believes older women are uniquely suited for long-distance events.We also discuss why Lisa chose to show up as her whole self online—art, cycling, activism, and all—and how speaking out about her values has actually grown both her following and her opportunities, not diminished them.⭐ Sponsored by Cycle Limited.  Buy and sell used bikes!

David Golay shares why he hasn't jived with any of the eMTBs he's ridden so far, and if the new light-assist bikes from Orbea and Norco he's been spending time on might have a chance of changing his mind. Simon, on the other hand, is a big fan of eMTBs, regardless of whether they have a full-power or light-assist drive system, and has a couple of full-power beauties from Pivot and Norco to talk about. And to avoid a whole episode on bikes with motors, they throw the Atherton A.150.M in the mix, too.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover or a guest you'd like us to have on Bikes and Big Ideas.

This week's guest is Pieter Potters, R&D manager at Belgian Cycling Factory, the group that owns Eddy Merckx Cycles and Ridley Bikes. For nearly six years Pieter has been at the centre of designing cutting edge road and gravel bikes, including the recent Ridley Noah Fast 3.0, which features a new kind of geometry that many see poised to change the game - think steep seat tubes, short cranks and aggressive forward positioning of the rider (don't worry, Pieter explains it better).Pieter is also in charge designing Eddy Merckx bikes, so here he discusses plans to rejuvenate that once great marque, along with answering questions around how much input pro-riders really have into the bikes they ride, how to design bikes for the modern age, how to negotiate potentially ruinous UCI rule changes, and that perennial question, just why are bikes so expensive?Interview begins atThis episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.

40 years inside the Hells Angels. Federal murder conspiracy charges. Bombings, informants, and a courtroom showdown with the U.S. government. In this raw, unfiltered interview, longtime Ventura Hells Angels leader George Christie tells the inside story of outlaw biker life — from the brotherhood and early motorcycle culture to violent club wars, federal investigations, and the high-stakes legal battles that nearly destroyed his life. He reveals what it was really like to: • Rise through the ranks of a legendary 1% motorcycle club • Survive assassination attempts and clubhouse bombings • Face multiple federal prosecutions — and beat them • Navigate informants, undercover operations, and government pressure • Witness the evolution of biker culture from brotherhood to organized crime conflicts This is a rare, firsthand account of one of America's most controversial subcultures — told by someone who lived it for decades.

Meanwhile, the PSA segment returns with a warning regarding increasingly common hood slippage. All of that is free to all, while members of Escape Collective also gain access to our popular Ask a Wrench segment at the end of the episode. From our favourite bearing greases to headset woes, there's plenty answered and discussed this week. Happy geeking! Time stamps:  1:45 - Cannondale SuperSix Evo 4.5 12:50 - TT frames as aero road bikes?  24:00 - Favero doubles battery longevity, for free 25:50 - Trek turns 50  26:30 - New Factor Ostro Gravel spotted  30:30 - RIP King Liu  31:30 - Performance bicycles are like phones  45:00 - PSA related to slipping hoods  54:30 - Ask a Wrench with Boulder Grupetto (member only) 55:48 - Mixing and matching SRAM Transmission with other cassettes  1:00:15 - Specialized Crux headset loosening woes 1:10:00 - Quick connectors for fully integrated drop bar bikes?  1:17:20 - Servicing versus replacing bottom brackets, and our go-to bearing greases 

After remote recordings, sound glitches, and long-distance chaos… Danna and Kristin are reunited and it feels so good. This one's a long ride, but buckle up, it's worth it. We're talking: • Kids growing up riding bikes like it's 1995 (and somehow making us look like better parents than we are) • The one and only time Kristin took NyQuil… and basically time-traveled into another dimension • “Nedoughs” — yes, they're a thing and no, we can't explain it responsibly • Night biking, minor accidents (we're fine), and Sanibel vacation vibes • Danna hitting a fancy ski destination and discovering ear plugs that may or may not save her marriage • Après ski energy that is absolutely lit • Valentine's love stories that range from sweet… to “oh my.” And in case you're wondering what Kristin brings to this friendship — nothing. Absolutely nothing. Except, you know… a full broadcasting studio in a barn.

Safety isn't a slogan when streets get crowded and celebrations kick off. We sit down with a Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant for an unfiltered look at Mardi Gras patrols in Galveston—how a small island city scales up with state troopers and partner agencies to keep families safe, traffic moving, and DWIs down without killing the vibe. It's a masterclass in proactive policing and the power of visible, coordinated presence.From parades to neighborhoods, we tackle a growing hazard: mini electric pocket bikes. They're fast, silent, and, under Texas law, not street legal. Our guest breaks down exactly why these “mini pocket bikes” don't qualify for public roads, what makes an e-bike legal, and how parents can avoid tragic outcomes by setting strict rules and keeping these toys off the street. Then we open the door on a quieter crisis—youth vaping—and how it's bleeding into underage DUIs. We talk real risks, from THC exposure to potential contamination, and share practical steps for families, schools, and communities to push back.Truck lovers and daily commuters will appreciate our deep dive into CDL testing, weigh station enforcement, and why overweight citations matter. The sergeant details the tougher inspections rolling out along major Texas corridors, what triggers mandatory pull-ins, and how serious crashes can shut down roads for hours. We round it out with a fast lap through automotive headlines: China's push for mechanical EV door releases after fatal incidents, Volkswagen's software-first strategy in China, Porsche's EV cost crossroads, and Cadillac's move into Formula One—all while dealer networks wrestle with direct-to-consumer sales models.Hit play for candid insights, practical safety tips, and a clear-eyed view of how policy, technology, and enforcement shape our roads.

If you thought last week's Florida true crimes couldn't get any dumber, buckle up—these Florida men on two wheels are about to outdo themselves. Florida February continues. Trevin opens with a full-on potty meltdown when his Wet Weather Diva, Sammy, refuses to use the bathroom in the rain. What begins as an inspirational pep talk escalates into a backyard cheer routine that Trevin documents on Instagram like a proud stage dad. Amanda brings her own dog dilemma as Reptar keeps army-crawling under the kids' bunk bed, choosing chaos over comfort. Fast Florida heads to New Port Richey, where a crew of Pasco County inmates flips the script during community service—breaking into a locked car to rescue a one-year-old baby while dressed like classic cartoon jailbirds. From zero to hero in record time. You go, Pasco County. In Florida Top Five, Trevin counts down the wildest world records held by the Sunshine State: the shortest donkey, the tallest sangria, the largest gathering of Ninja Turtles, and some truly next-level Easter enthusiasm. Amanda answers with the Top Five Weirdest Florida Food Festivals—celebrating mullets (the fish, not the haircut), strawberries on pizza, the impossible-to-pronounce kumquat, and the legendary Floridian “cracker delicacy,” swamp cabbage. For our stories, Trevin delivers a crowd-pleaser as One-Nut Tony relocates to Marco Island. A peaceful e-bike ride goes sideways when Steven Pickett brake-checks him, triggering a hit-and-run, a golf-cart dragging, and a chain of bad decisions that may pull Tony right back into crime. Amanda closes with the unbelievable saga of Ray Reza Baluchi, the Fort Lauderdale dreamer determined to “run on water.” His homemade Hydro Pod—and self-appointed title of Captain Bubble—aren't enough to keep the Coast Guard happy, proving that even international waters have rules. When you're manifestly unsafe, there's no outrunning the law. Both stories collide around bicycles and truly bizarre moments involving them. Put on your helmet before these two—things get dangerous.

Ironman finally pulled the trigger on a long-awaited change: the pro draft zone is officially moving to 20 meters — and the RTS crew wastes no time breaking down what it really means for racing. In this episode, Garrick, Jackson, Lisa, and special guest Nicole dive deep into how the new draft rules could reshape race dynamics, who benefits most, and why this might finally reward strong solo cyclists. They also tackle mixed pro fields, Race Ranger, and whether 20 meters is enough… or just the first step toward 25. Beyond the rule changes, things get personal: Nicole shares her fresh post-op journey from hip labral repair and what recovery looks like for a pro triathlete. Lisa opens up about a surprise metatarsal stress reaction and how she's navigating yet another “no-run” build. Jackson battles a stubborn parasite picked up in Mexico, breaking down the realities of training through GI chaos and calorie deficits. Garrick drops some major life news with an RTS first: a baby girl arriving this summer. They wrap it all up with a classic Pass or Smash segment covering everything from threshold farming and three 4-hour rides in a week… to pineapple on pizza. Raw, funny, honest, and deeply nerdy — this is one of those episodes that reminds you why racing is hard, recovery is harder, and the triathlon community is special.

That double stroller has been your best friend for two years. But now your twins are getting bigger, more independent, and honestly, wrestling two squirming toddlers into that beast for a quick Target run feels harder than just letting them walk. Except walking means you’ve got two little people who can dart in opposite directions while you’re standing there with exactly two hands. I’ve been there with my twin girls. That transition from strapped-in-the-stroller to walking-beside-me-in-the-parking-lot was genuinely terrifying at first. But here’s what I learned: most twins between 18 months and 3 years can master staying close through consistent verbal cues and clear boundaries. It takes patience and plenty of practice runs, but it absolutely works. Why This Stage Feels So Overwhelming Parents of singletons have it easier here, and that’s just math. They’ve got one kid and two hands. You’ve got two kids who can run in completely opposite directions, both with the impulse control of, well, toddlers. When my girls first started wanting to walk everywhere, I felt like I was constantly choosing which child to chase down while the other one headed toward traffic. Not a great feeling. You’re not being overprotective. You’re being realistic about the fact that toddlers have zero danger awareness and maximum confidence. Start Practicing at Home First Before you expect your twins to stay close at the grocery store with all its colors and excitement, practice in your own driveway. This is where they build the muscle memory without the high stakes. Pick one simple phrase and stick with it. We used “stay close” with our girls. Some families say “stay in the bubble” or “be my shadow.” Whatever you choose, use that exact phrase every single time. Don’t switch between “stay here,” “come back,” and “don’t run off.” Toddlers need that repetition. I practiced with my girls every time we walked from the car to the front door. “Okay, we’re going to practice staying close. Show me how you stay right next to Daddy.” Then I’d narrate what I saw: “Look at that! You’re both staying close. Your feet are right next to mine.” The advantage here is that home practice is low pressure. Nobody’s watching, you’re not trying to actually accomplish an errand, and if it goes badly, you’re already home. The One Non-Negotiable Rule In parking lots and crossing streets, everyone holds hands or touches the cart. Period. No exceptions, no negotiations, no “just this once.” Present this to your twins as a simple fact of life, like gravity. “In parking lots, we always hold hands. That’s the rule for everyone, always.” If one of them refuses, pick her up and carry her, saying calmly, “I see you’re having trouble with the parking lot rule. I’ll carry you to keep you safe.” Turns out, being carried is way less fun than walking. After a couple times, both your twins will chose to hold hands. Natural consequences are powerful teachers. Your First Public Outings Start small. Really small. Your first practice run shouldn’t be a full grocery trip. It should be a five-minute walk to check the mailbox together, or running into the gas station to pay. Before you get out of the car, state your expectations clearly: “When we get out, you’re both going to hold the cart with both hands. We’re going to walk together to get milk, then come right back. If you let go of the cart, we go back to the car.” Then follow through exactly. The first time one of your twins lets go, scoop her up, grab her sister, and go straight back to the car. No milk. The lesson is more important than the errand. Position yourself strategically. I kept one girl on each side of the cart. Some twin dads have each kid hold a different part of the cart. Others do a “hand chain” where one twin holds Dad’s hand and the other twin holds their sibling’s hand. Experiment to find what works for your specific twins. When They Go in Different Directions Here’s the twin-specific nightmare scenario: one bolts left toward the toy aisle while the other sprints right toward the automatic doors. Your response depends on the danger level. In low-danger settings like a fenced playground, let one twin explore briefly while you retrieve the other, then sit together for a minute. “I had to stop playing with Emma to go get Jack because he didn’t stay close. Now we all have to sit together.” Natural consequence, lesson learned. In high-danger environments like parking lots, scoop up both and carry them back to the car, one under each arm, regardless of who did what. The rule was simple: if anyone lets go, everyone gets picked up. Catch Them Doing It Right I praised my girls constantly when they stayed close. “You stayed right next to the cart through the whole cereal aisle! Well done!” This worked way better than only giving attention when they ran off. I also framed it as teamwork. “You two are such a great staying-close team today! You’re both helping keep each other safe.” Twins often motivate each other when you make safety a team effort. We find that positive reinforcement is significantly more effective than punishment for teaching toddlers new behaviors. I saw this firsthand with my girls. The more I celebrated their success, the more they wanted to succeed. What to Expect at Different Ages Understanding what’s developmentally realistic saved me a lot of frustration. At 18 months, my girls could hold my hand and walk beside me for brief periods, but they needed constant physical redirection. Expecting them to stay close through verbal commands alone was setting us all up for failure. Yes, we even used child leashes when they were prone to bolting different directions. By age 2, they could respond to “stop” or “freeze” pretty consistently, especially because we’d practiced so much. They were starting to understand cause and effect, so natural consequences actually made sense to them. By 2.5 to 3 years, both girls could internalize rules and follow them with occasional reminders. They understood “if you stay close at the store, we’ll have time to play at the park after.” But even at three, they were still toddlers. A butterfly might prove irresistible despite perfect understanding of the rules. That’s not defiance. That’s just being a toddler. Teaching Danger Awareness Along the Way While teaching my girls to stay close, I also built their understanding of why it mattered. I’d point out cars backing up: “See that car? The driver can’t see you if you’re behind it. That’s why we stay close to Daddy.” I’d notice bikes on the sidewalk: “Bikes move fast! We stand still when bikes pass.” This developed their internal safety radar rather than just teaching blind obedience. Eventually, I wanted them to recognize danger and choose safe behavior on their own, not just follow my commands without understanding why. Gradually Giving More Freedom As my girls demonstrated consistent staying-close behavior in safe environments like our neighborhood, I slowly extended their range. “You can walk three steps ahead, but when I say ‘check,’ you stop and look back at me.” We practiced this extensively before trying it anywhere with cars. I also used a visual marker: “You can go as far as you can still see my red jacket.” This gave them agency while keeping them safe. The goal was never perfect obedience at age two. The goal was building habits that would keep them safe as they grew more independent. The Good News Your twins can absolutely learn these skills. It requires consistency, patience, and probably more abandoned shopping trips than you’d like. But one day, sooner than you expect, you’ll realize you made it through Target without incident and your kids are proudly staying close. Give yourself grace. Use whatever tools work. Practice in safe spaces. Follow through with consequences every single time. Celebrate the small victories. You’re teaching two small people to navigate the world safely and simultaneously. That’s genuinely hard work. But you’re doing it, one parking lot at a time. What strategies have worked for keeping your twins close in public? I’d love to hear them. The post Teaching Toddler Twins to Stay Close to Parents appeared first on Dad's Guide to Twins.

JP showed up late tonight, most likely after seeing Cheef deadlift so much last week. We had absolutely no plan tonight so we made a top five list of the dumbest types of people.

Hi there boys and girls! Welcome back to another Jeep Talk Show interview episode!

My guest today is someone who is no stranger to the front of the field. A perennial podium finisher as a professional mountain biker, and over the past decade-plus one of the most accomplished ultra-endurance cyclists on the planet, he has first-place finishes at the Tour Divide, AZT, CTR, and many many more. The truth is, I'd need to create an entirely new podcast series to fully unpack the range, depth, and longevity of his career as a lifelong cyclist. For that reason, he's a man who truly needs no introduction: Kurt Refsnider. Most recently, Kurt became the first person to ride the 5,000-plus-mile Orogenesis Route -- a project more than a decade in the making, shaped by many contributors over the years. Like the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, the Orogenesis Route traverses North America from the Canadian border to the Mexican border, but it instead features as much singletrack as they can pack in - 50% of the route is singletrack. And when it reaches the border, the route doesn't stop. It intercepts and continues down the Baja Divide, one of the most iconic bikepacking routes in the world. This was no small undertaking. Not only was this Kurt's biggest bikepacking trip to date, but he was also the first person to put bike tires on large portions of the route—sections that had only been scouted digitally and pieced together through community knowledge. Inevitably, that meant running into real roadblocks. This wasn't just a bikepacking trip; it was a true bike adventure. I can think of no one more qualified to take on a project of this scale, both physically and mentally, than Kurt. It was an absolute pleasure to have him back on the podcast. He's a true OG and a legend in the sport for very good reason. And beyond all the accolades, he's simply a genuinely kind and thoughtful human being.

We've been minimally interested in the 32-inch wheel topic. It was more fun to hypothesize what they'd ride like when it was a distant rumor. Now that Maxxis has 32-inch tires you can buy, and many brands are currently developing literal wagon wheel models, we don't know how to feel. Luckily, we tagged in Maxxis Brand Manager, Aaron Chamberlain, to fill us in on the impetus of the 32-inch revolution and the main arguments around their implementation. Chapters00:00 Introduction05:39 The 32-Inch Wheel Debate10:11 Mechanical vs. Wireless Drivetrains17:01 The Push for 32-Inch Wheels17:41 Technical Challenges in Tire Production22:59 Market Response and Anticipation26:06 Benefits and Applications of 32-Inch Wheels33:51 Potential Pros and Cons of Larger Wheels40:36 Looking Ahead: The Evolution of Bike Design51:09 The 32-Inch Wheel Trend: Implications and Insights53:51 Weight Considerations: Performance vs. Practicality58:43 Community Insights: The Biking Culture and Preferences01:01:46 Tire Talk: Preferences and Innovations
