Metal window grilles were meant to keep households safe from burglars but they have been fingered as eyesores Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. One of Taiwan’s names is "Formosa" - given by Portuguese sailors who sighted the island in the 16th century and called it “Beautiful Island” given its natural wonders such as mountains, forests and hot springs. In more recent times though, Taiwanese officials and designers have complained about a man-made blight across its cities: ubiquitous, often rusty, metal grilles criss-crossing windows. They surface a larger discussion about the pace of urban renewal in Taiwan - a challenge that many Asian cities face, given the competing imperatives between urban renewal, heritage conservation and the rights of homeowners.

Veteran astrologer and Mystical Messages podcast host Hilary Harley outlines what to expect for the first month of 2026.  January finds us shifting from a deep clearing and cleansing passage into wild, fast-paced energy.  The end of 2025 and first two weeks of January bring a close to dominant water and earth energies.  Just after mid-month, fully 5 out of 10 planets will be cycling through Aquarius:  The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto!  Aquarius is the sign of connectivity, ideas, and frequency.  It moves faster than lightning.  The sign of innovation and humanitarian good will draws our focus toward what is possible and best for everyone.  Old restraints and power dynamics are over and done now.  Break the mold and be open to the unusual, non-mainstream and avant garde. Hold on to your hat when spiritual Neptune moves into fiery Aries on January 26th.  Cycling through the first sign of the zodiac until 2039, Neptune acts, moves and engages based on intuitive, soulful impulse.  It is not shy or reticent.  In Aries, Neptune follows divine downloads and directives then asks questions later!  We are in for one wild and exciting ride!

Send us a textA champion's story doesn't start at the finish line. Fresh off winning Ultraman Hawaii, Max Kniazev opens up about rebuilding from a collarbone ligament rupture, balancing newborn-dad life, and crafting a pragmatic plan to race smarter in heat and wind. We get into the mechanics of durability: how a naturally low heart rate at high power shapes his ultra identity, why shorter cranks opened his hip and cut drag, and how a custom 3D-printed cockpit with rear-aligned bottles shaved the little costs that add up over 515 kilometers.Max explains how he trained the gut to handle 120–135 grams of carbohydrates per hour using a starch-based mix (Vitargo), and why he practices fueling even in short swim sessions. He shares the exact salt and magnesium rhythm he used to skirt cramps, plus ice tactics that kept core temp in check when the island turned harsh. Day by day, he walks us through winning choices: holding back in the swim after lost shoulder strength, stacking steady watts on day one, solving a mid-ride electronic derailleur scare on day two en route to a stage record, and using simple marathon math on day three to let rivals come back without ever redlining.Max also lays out what's next. He wants a fair-play shot at the 515 world record on the same Ultraman Australia course, not just a fast loop, with an audacious long-term vision for sub-19 under ideal conditions. Between now and then, he's sharpening the sword in XTRI events and aiming for Norseman while keeping the “ultra mindset” front and center: choose long goals, stack stable steps, and let the mind lead the body. If you care about endurance strategy, bike aerodynamics, heat management, or the art of pacing 84 kilometers, this conversation is a masterclass built on lived miles and honest numbers.Max previously appeared on the podcast in (S1E4) and the Season 4 UMAZ race wrap up.Youtube movie “1 minute less” mentioned.This Instagram post has Max describing his bike.Resources mentioned in this episode:Ultraman HawaiiUltraCzech 515 (S5E5)Ultraman ArizonaSiberman 515UM Australia Double Ultra Triathlon EmsdettenVitargo NutritionFinding Ultra  by Rich RollNorseman Xtreme ChampionshipShout outs and mentions in this episode:Mia KniazevOlesia Kniazev Petr Vabrousek   (S2E2)Richard Thompson Shane Duffy (S4E5)Simon Cochrane  (S4E8)Javier Sola​​Tadej PogačarDave Matheson (S3E6)Bob Babbit S6E12Cameron WurfMike Coughlin (S2E7)Billy Rickards (S7E1)Steve King (S1E1)Sheryl Cobb (S2E6)Dave CobbTerumasu MatsudaUltra Chamba (S6E11)Support the showShow Contributors:Host : Larry RyanContributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic : Run by 331 For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook: @515TheUltraPodcastInsta : @515theultrapodcastYoutube : @515TheUltraPodcastEmail : 515Ultraman@gmail.com

Send us a textChristmas is fast approaching (gulp), and that means only one thing… in podcast land, anyway – it's time for us to don our best paper party hats, break open the archives, and reflect on the biggest cycling stories of 2025.In part two, the Cycle to Work Alliance's chair Steve Edgell joins us to discuss Labour's plans to re-introduce a spending cap on purchases made as part of Cycle to Work – and how the group ‘mobilised' to stop those plans.Steve also chats about the continued support for Cycle to Work within the government, how it is key to attracting new cycling converts (especially when it comes to making e-bikes accessible), and why the alliance is working hard to “dispel the myth” that Cycle to Work is catered to rich MAMILs in the Surrey Hills.Meanwhile, in part one, Ryan, Jack, Dan, and Emily sign off for the year by assessing some of the other big stories from the worlds racing, tech, infrastructure, politics. Happy Christmas!

This time Ned, Adam and Laura talk targets - and why the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3) needs outputs, not simply outcomes. They are joined by the CEO of the Walk, Wheel, Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans), Xavier Brice, who knows all about strategies, and delivering active transport networks.The government recently ended a consultation on CWIS3 but, frustratingly, the proposals lacked any investment or much strategy. There were no SMART targets, or any outputs, i.e. routes; simply the unachievable outcome that by 2035 walking, wheeling and cycling will be "a safe, easy and accessible option for everyone". Road Investment Strategies, by contrast, focus heavily on routes and infrastructure, so why do we treat walking, wheeling and cycling differently?Xavier Brice has been CEO of the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust since 2016. In 2007 Brice led the development of a new walking and cycling strategy for London, with Transport for London.This month Adam, Laura and Xavier Brice coordinated an open letter to the Secretary of State supporting a better CWIS3. That letter was signed by more than 50 organisations across health, active travel and beyond. It asked that central government maps a true national network of routes by 2030, and sets targets to deliver that network to a proper, accessible standard by 2050.You can read the letter here: https://bsky.app/profile/adamtranter.bsky.social/post/3m7fv3vhyks2rThe letter was covered in the Guardian by Peter Walker: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/12/drivers-cyclists-transport-policy-conservatives-culture-wars-road-safety Shortly after that, Walker interviewed transport minister, Lilian Greenwood, about the importance of 'creating a system that works for everyone': https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/12/drivers-cyclists-transport-policy-conservatives-culture-wars-road-safetyLaura's Freedom of Information requests to English local authorities found just 2 per cent had used legal powers to purchase land - something that's done routinely for roads https://substack.com/home/post/p-178788505And her article on CWIS3: https://lauralaker.substack.com/p/a-cycling-and-walking-strategy-walksThe Walk, Wheel Cycle Trust has been improving the National Cycle Network (NCN). In 2023/24 1.7km of an off-road muddy track connecting the residential area of Newton, in West Doncaster, to Danum retail park, was widened (on NCN62), with seven barriers removed or redesigned, along with improved wayfinding and signage. Estimated annual usage rose by 196% according to the Walk, Wheel Cycle Trust, from 150,000 trips in 2022 to 450,000 in 2024. Pedestrian and cycling trips increased by 191% and 192% respectively, while other users increased by 270%.

Claire Deschamps is the CMO of Assos, and she brings a refreshing outsider's perspective to the cycling world. After spending a decade at consumer goods giants like Unilever and Colgate, this French marketing exec—who's called Mexico, Rome, and now Switzerland home—joined Assos nearly three years ago to help the premium apparel brand navigate a rapidly shifting landscape.In our conversation, Claire shares how marketing has changed dramatically—it's no longer about brands talking at consumers, but about letting communities, ambassadors, and athletes become the voice of the brand. She opens up about how Assos is honoring its 50-year heritage while reaching new riders: women, gravel enthusiasts, and the wave of newcomers who discovered cycling during COVID. Plus, she reveals how digging into consumer data helped bust some long-held assumptions about who's actually buying premium cycling apparel.Read the latest 'The Business of Cycling' BlogSign up for 'The Business of Cycling' Newsletter

Trikot, Hose und Rad sind perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt, Aerosocken definieren die Bräunungskanten, die übergroße Radbrille verspiegelt den Blick. Und ein Blick in die Schaufensterscheibe bestätigt im Vorbeifahren: "Geil siehst du heute aus." Während Außenstehende über unser Erscheinungsbild nur den Kopf schütteln. Mit welchem Selbstbild Rennradfahrer typischerweise unterwegs sind, wie eitel sich die ROADBIKE-Redakteure selbst einschätzen und worauf es beim perfekten Rennrad-Style ankommt, besprechen wir in dieser Folge.

Send us a textA Bigfoot sweater, a heavy backpack full of mics, and a plane to Orlando—our year closes with the perfect mix of ride stories, travel plans, and one serious warning every cyclist needs to hear. We're gearing up for Podfest, turning a living room into a studio, and cashing in on a DVC Moonlight Magic night that lets us skip the crowds and snag a few hours of park time. Along the way, we talk about how a smarter packing checklist, a better mic deal, and some SNL-worthy podcast jokes became part of our annual rhythm.The community takes center stage with a sharp Listener Spotlight reveal: Mesa, Arizona, where ancient canals still inform modern life and towering saguaros are protected for good reason. That maps neatly into our revamped BRAG route-guessing contest—a fairer point system that rewards the correct town on the correct night, and a big bonus for the layover. It's competitive, nerdy in the best way, and proof our listeners know roads we haven't yet ridden. Yes, a custom jersey is on the line, but the real prize is the thrill of being right.Then comes the must-hear segment: counterfeit bike parts. A recent $1.6M seizure of fake frames, bars, wheels, and components—some stamped with household cycling brands—reminds us that a bargain can be dangerous. We unpack the difference between knockoffs and counterfeits, why serial numbers can be forged, and how to protect yourself: buy critical components from reputable dealers or your local bike shop, verify serials, and second-guess prices that look magical. It's not about brand loyalty; it's about staying upright.We wrap with our top moments of the year—post-ride honesty, “one more mile” lies, bourbon wisdom—and a simple truth: we may not be getting faster, but the stories keep getting better. If you're here for community, safe gear, and a reason to ride tomorrow, you're in the right place.If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who loves bikes, and drop a review to help other riders find the show.

In this Podcast, I sit down with a great mate called Rich. He talks very frankly about his experience of getting AFib, all the tests he went through to make sure he could continue to ride his bike safely, and some of the ups and downs. He shares how he emotionally dealt with it, and how he's come out the other side understanding AFib a lot better, not worried, but very aware of what he should and shouldn't do to remain healthy and keep riding.Because he's mindful, eats well, trains consistently, listens to his body, and uses tools like WHOOP, he's learned how his body deals with fatigue, sleep, hydration, and nutrition. Afib has not stopped him from racing at a high level on Zwift or tackling big solo challenges like riding through France on his gravel bike. So hopefully Rich's story inspires others who might be going through the same thing.Keep on keeping on, Simon

Electric mountain bikes. Either you love ‘em, or think they're wack. Granted, the latter opinion has been losing steam as more brands release good e-bikes, and more riders toss a leg over one.
