This week James is joined Sir Chris Hoy, who if you haven't heard of him was a pretty good cyclist in his day. Chris won six Olympic gold medals and one silver on the track, spanning four Olympic Games including that incredible week at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where Chris won golds in the Team Sprint, Individual Sprint and Keirin as Team GB notched up a staggering 14 cycling medals, cementing Britain as a cycling powerhouse and putting cycling into the mainstream in the process.In this episode, Chris discusses that day in Beijing as well as many other memorable moments, like sitting trackside in Athens watching world records get smashed over and over until it was his turn to compete; turning up in Japan to learn to race Keirin at Japanese Keirin school; a love of coffee that meant he never travelled anywhere without his espresso machine and grinder, and his even bigger love and respect for cycling compatriot and maverick record breaker, Graeme Obree; and which of his teammates rode with different length cranks without even noticing.Chris also talks about his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and how prostate cancer affects men and what men can do to catch it early. We also talk about how you can support Chris's annual charity ride, Tour de 4, which raises money for cancer research and care, and which this year saw 191 riders with Stage 4 cancer join thousands more as they cycled and raised nearly £3 million for charity, taking Tour de 4's total to a staggering £5.8 million in two years.You can check your risk of prostate cancer in under 30 seconds at prostatecancer.org/risk-checker and you can donate to Tour de 4, or sign up for next year's event at tourde4.comChat begins at 11:10.----------------This episode is brought to you by Rouvy, the indoor riding platform that makes indoor rides look and feel real, from smashing up the Sa Calobra to group rides around Vietnam to Rouvy Fest, which this year takes place between 12th and 25th October and will include a host of special group rides including tackling Mount Teide in Tenerife, riding the shores and hill of Lake Garda in Italy and puffing up dust on the Strade Bianche chalky road of Tuscany.

A 63 year old starts on a 100 mile charity bike ride through the Highlands of Scotland. It was a big undertaking but Tony Parsons had done epic charity events before having walked Hadrian's Wall and the West Highland Way.Somewhere between the Bridge of Orchy hotel and Tyndrum he vanishes, no sign of him or his bike or any evidence that Tony was even there.Three years go by and there is nothing. Then in 2020 a meeting on Tinder would unravel the whole case.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-monday-night-revue--4921180/support.Don't miss an episode - follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

With an explosive offense and a star quarterback, the Chicago Bears have high hopes for a deep playoff run this year. But will Caleb Williams' hamstring injury put a damper on the team's promising season? We're sitting down with Kevin Fishbain, a senior writer at The Athletic who covers the Bears, to check on one of the highest-ceiling teams in the league.Then, we're going to talk about something that most elite athletes never even allow themselves to consider: quitting. Lael Wilcox is an ultra-distance cyclist who became the fastest woman to ride her bike around the world in 2024. This summer she wanted to try for the men's record too, and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. But early on in her effort, a historic heatwave in Europe made it unsafe for her to keep going. How did Lael make the tough decision to stop, and what good came out of it?Show Notes Lael Rides Around the World | Full Film Why is the heat in Europe so deadly? | CBS Evening News So you want to ride around the world? | Cyclist Listen to Lael Wilcox's podcast Lael Rides Around the World Listen to Kevin Fishbain's podcast Breaking In With Kevin Fishbain Show CreditsHost: David GreeneExecutive Producers: Joan Isabella, Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaTalent Booker: Britt KahnEngineers: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingTheme Song: Emma MungerSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.
On February 17, 2024, five experienced cyclists set out on a familiar gravel-bike route through Washington's Cascade foothills. Nineteen miles into their ride, two cougars appeared on the trail. Seconds later, 60-year-old Keri Bergere was on the ground with a cougar's jaws clamped around her face.Her four friends rushed toward the attack. Armed with little more than rocks, sticks, and the equipment they carried on their bicycles, they faced a predator that refused to let go. With unreliable cell service and another cougar somewhere in the surrounding forest, the women were running out of options.In this episode of The Crux: True Survival Stories, Kaycee and Julie reconstruct the terrifying encounter, examine the medical dangers of a cougar attack, and explore the survival decisions that followed.A true story of wilderness survival, extraordinary friendship, and a fight that lasted far longer than anyone could have imagined.Episode Chapters 00:00– Introduction00:28 – A Cougar Encounter in Washington01:54 – Meet the Five Cyclists03:23 – The Magic Carpet Gravel Route05:30 – Two Cougars Appear06:16 – The Fight to Save Keri11:19 – The Medical Dangers of a Cougar Attack13:35 – A Multitool and a Chance to Escape16:00 – Trapping the Cougar With a Bicycle19:12 – Calling 911 and Finding GPS Coordinates21:57 – Wildlife Officer Arrives24:07 – Keri's Injuries and Recovery26:17 – Why Did the Cougar Attack?27:36 – Cougar Safety and the Fatal 2018 Attack32:00 – Life After the Attack35:29 – Survival Lessons and ClosingDan Becker Podcast.

The thread of the bicycle is what ties all our guests together, here on King of the Ride podcast. The thread of the bicycle has been woven through virtually all aspects of Michael Barry's life. His father was a cyclist and made that his profession, his wife is an accomplished professional cyclist, his son Ashlin is one of America's biggest talents coming through the ranks. Michael raced on some of the biggest teams during his time in the pro ranks, he now runs a bicycle brand, Mariposa Bicycles. He's an author to at least three books and has contributed articles to many publications during his time on two wheels. Lots more can be said about Michael, but maybe just listen to this podcast episode and we'll touch on them. Thanks to Bicycle Accident Law for supporting this episode.

Featuring: Mike Levy, Josh Ross, Lisa Charlebois, and Logan Jones-Wilkins We answer your questions, debate the real-world value of aero bottle cages, and discuss why it makes sense to ride 500km for tacos. We've had some major topics on the show the last few weeks, so this week we are taking a step back a little and answering some questions. We read every comment, and Logan Jones-Wilkins, Lisa Charlebois, and I will often jump in to respond. Mike Levy also reads them, but he actually brings the comments to the show so we can answer them out loud, so to speak. Before we get to that, though, Levy starts with a question: Have you ever done a ride just for the sake of going somewhere dumb and unimportant? I've (Josh Ross) had this idea for years to ride from Los Angeles to the Mexican border for tacos, then back. It's a 500km ride, and there's no real point other than to ride a bike. Lael Wilcox once rode all the roads in Alaska for a similar reason. The whole crew is on this week, so we get to talk about our silly reasons for big rides. Let us know in the comments if you've ever done anything like that. Or, if you are like Logan and just ride for training, let us know that too. We also have some news to talk about. Mostly, it comes down to Logan and me (Josh Ross) trying to convince Lisa and Mike that aero matters. For Logan, it's all about aero gravel tires. He went very deep into the weeds in his article, and there's a good reason for that. Then it's my turn to talk about the Enve Melee V2 and why it features aero bar tape and aero bottle cages. I also have a question that I am hoping you can help me answer. To participate you'll have to jump to the [Velo website], but the question is: Would you choose a bike that is 1.6 watts more aero or a bike that is 1kg lighter? Give me the Factor One. I will gladly take a 1kg weight penalty to gain 1.6 watts of aero efficiency. Give me the Enve Melee. Saving 1kg is far more important to how I ride than 1.6 watts of aero efficiency. I am choosing the Enve Melee purely based on aesthetics. Regardless of the aero advantage, I would not pick the Factor One because of how it looks. I am choosing the Factor One. I want the 1.6 watts of free speed, and I actually prefer the aggressive aero styling over a traditional frame. The Velo Podcast wouldn't happen without subscribers.

This week, Will (and a bit of James, but mostly Will), is joined by recording-breaking ultra-cyclists and wife and husband, Amy Hudson and Kyle Hudson. The pair have just completed the fastest ever round-the-World cycle for a couple, pedalling nearly 30,000km around the globe in just 123 days with no outside support. A whole 82 days faster than the previous record and 27 days faster than their initial target.Amy's journey into cycling started in 2021 when husband Kyle bought her a bike from Halfords to help her through some mental health struggles, and four years later Amy was soloing the men's 2025 Tour de France route including all the stage transfers, shadowing the race as it was happening to ride over 6,500km in 29 days.In this episode, Amy and Kyle chat about just how to plan such an epic journey, what to eat when you're cycling for hours on end every day, how to adapt to burning sun and freezing temperatures, the impact of such on a challenge on their relationship, and how just two weeks before they were due to finish, Kyle broke his shoulder in a crash.The couple's recent endeavours have raised a staggering £70,000 for mental health charities Shout and the Mix, and you can add to that tally here.Chat begins at 8m36s------------------This episode is brought to you by the Maserati Grecale SUV car.

Triathletes come to the sport from all kinds of backgrounds. Some discover it from scratch, while others bring years of experience in another discipline. For Coach Chris Navin, that foundation was cycling. In this episode, Chris shares how he found triathlon and how his background as a cyclist shaped his journey across all three disciplines. He breaks down the advantages and challenges that come with a cycling background, including how those strengths translated to swimming and running and where he had to adapt. Whether you're a lifelong cyclist or completely new to the sport, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you balance swimming, cycling, and running and prepare for your next race.
Today's episode of The Mettleset Podcast is brought to you by New Balance and Dr.stretch.Mavi García didn't turn professional until she was 31, after more than a decade working a full-time job and nearly ten years away from organized sport altogether. Since then, she's become a four-time Spanish national road champion, a four-time national time trial champion, and — at 41 — the oldest woman ever to win a stage of the Tour de France Femmes. Now 42, she's extended her contract with UAE Team L'IMAD — the team she first rode for in 2022, then known as UAE Team ADQ, rebranded this August — through the 2027 season. In this episode, Mavi opens up about the fear that nearly derailed her cycling career before it started, the moment she realized she'd made history, mentoring the next generation of riders, and why, well into her forties, she still treats every day on the bike as a gift.Follow Mavi on Instagram: @mavi_garcia_c
Dan Pontefract shares his journey from running to cycling, describing how age and an achilles injury led him to embrace mountain biking in British Columbia before switching to road cycling for safety as his family grew. His passion for cycling has taken him on memorable trips to Italy, France, Spain, and Napa, often alongside friends and family. Dan recounts a transformative ride in Victoria where seeing blooming daffodils inspired the metaphor for his book "Work-Life Bloom." He highlights how cycling nurtures creativity, offering space to reflect and generate ideas. Dan also draws leadership lessons from cycling, especially the concept of the peloton where leadership and teamwork rotate among members. He encourages others to define their own "declaration of purpose" to align personal values with both their work and life. Episode Highlights · Emphasized the importance of cycling in both personal life and as a metaphor for teamwork, leadership, and creativity. · Shared how cycling trips have been a source of inspiration for new ideas and even led to writing a book, highlighting the value of unplugging to allow creativity to flow. · Described the peloton in cycling as a model for shared leadership and collaboration, suggesting organizations can learn from this approach. · Advocated for leaders practicing empathy through a "head, heart, hands" model to truly support and understand team members. · Encouraged individuals to define and live by their own declaration of purpose, ensuring alignment between personal values and professional environments.

Walker Carroll was sixteen, a state champion cyclist with a clear path to racing professionally, when a single training ride changed everything. On February 6, 2026, a truck hit him from behind at more than seventy miles an hour and threw him 113 feet into a roadside field. His trauma surgeon later put it bluntly: what happened next wasn't luck. It was biologically impossible.Dr. Brandon Crawford, a functional neurologist focused on neuroplasticity, breaks down the injury list, the regenerative therapy and rehabilitation driving Walker's recovery six months later, and what his case reveals about the brain's capacity to heal. Walker also opens up about the driver who left him for dead, the faith that reshaped how he sees the accident, and why he has chosen forgiveness over vengeance.Laser Activated VSEL Therapy:This minimally invasive therapy harnesses your body's natural resources to accelerate tissue repair, reduce recovery time, and treat a wide range of complex conditions.

This week, James is joined by the bicycle polymath himself, Phil Cavell. Cyclist, bike fitter, author, writer, speaker, racer, shop owner, bike designer, wrench and generally very clever bloke, Phil, together with friend and long-term business partner, Julian Walls, helped pioneer bike fitting back in the early 2000s, opening Europe's first dedicated bike fit studio, Cyclefit, in London on 2003.Over the years, Phil has worked with top pros like the Trek team and a young Tom Pidcock, to amateurs from all walks of life. Bu whoever they are, they are all concerned with one thing – staying fit and getting the best out of cycling a bike.Phil has written numerous articles for Cyclist magazine – we are real paper magazine you can buy in a real shop, issue 178 out now! – but more importantly, he's penned several books, the most recent of which, The Cycling Addiction (Bloomsbury), which we discuss today. Concerning ‘suffering, speed and the search for meaning on two wheels', The Cycling Addiction seeks to discover what it is that draws us to such a punishing sport, and what functions of the mind, body and evolution are responsible for cyclists producing extraordinary feats of endurance, even to the point of death. But this isn't just a chat about the physiology. Phil talks about his own experiences and others' from a philosophical and emotional point of view, including the idea that cycling for some is a mechanism of control, identity anchor and self-esteem booster. Who hasn't got a little tingle opening Strava and seeing a new gold medal?Chat begins at 6.17The Cycling Addiction by Phil Cavell is out now, published by Bloomsbury.------------------This episode is brought to you by Boyd Cycling, whose full range of hand-built wheels can be found at boydcycling.com......and the Maserati Grecale SUV car.

Listener Q&A, covering nine different questions/topics from building bike power as a runner and a collegiate swimmer moving back into triathlon, through what actually makes us fatigue during a threshold effort, to swimskins, power duration curves and lots more. We do listener Q&As monthly, the last Thursday every month. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Building the bike as a runner: why heart rate sits lower on the bike than on the run, whether that gap matters, and what it says about where the limiter is. Plus how to use a daily 20 km ride towing a 25 kg dog trailer. A 193 cm, 100 kg collegiate swimmer moving back into triathlon: the engine-stronger-than-the-chassis problem, a run progression specified down to the minute, and why Mikael gets more conservative every time he coaches this profile. Why the maximal lactate steady state is a steady state for lactate and not for the whole body, what keeps drifting while lactate holds flat, and what one study found when it looked for the system that fails at exhaustion. How long you can actually hold MLSS, against the 40 minutes the question assumed, how much that varies between athletes, and where critical power sits relative to it. Swimskins: whether they give you any of the buoyancy a wetsuit does, the performance, drag and energy cost numbers from the closest pool research, and the thing that matters more than the brand and price tag. Whether a swimskin does more for a fast swimmer or a slow one. Reading your own power duration curve with nobody to compare against: the TrainingPeaks chart to start from, why a flat profile means something different for a triathlete than a cyclist, and Strava as a stand-in database. Mikael's W' bands for male and female age group triathletes, on record for the first time, plus the critical power ratio from close to a hundred of his own athletes' tests. Quickfire round on altitude, heat and the CORE sensor, run volume by intensity, and vegan nutrition.

This week, James and Will are joined by journalist, author and cyclist, James Witts. James writes for a host of prestigious titles including the most prestigious of them all, Cyclist magazine, along with The Guardian, GQ, Rouleur and Men's Health to name but four more. James also edits the annual official Tour de France guide and has penned four books including his most recent, Dope, which explores the doping landscape of sport, from opium and the Ancient Greeks to modern athletes and micro-dosing EPO. In this episode, James explains what constitutes a banned substance; how performance enhancers such as EPO work; how the biological passport catches cheats; how evasion might still happen at altitude camps; and what ‘legal' methods athletes might still use. We also discuss the recent night-time testing at the Tour de France and what it might mean; how anti-doping agencies are funded and why that model is so murky; why athletes dope in the first place (it's not what you might think); and that million-dollar question – is cycling actually clean?Dope by James Witts (Blink Publishing) is out nowWe also discuss the tragic news of the death of cyclist Finlay Tarling at the Volta a Portugal.

This month we're interviewing a handful of fascinating people as part of our summer ‘Parky Profiles' series.The Parky author, adventurer and cyclist, Lloyd Taylor joins us this week to talk about the journey to writing his best-selling book 'The Kindness of Strangers'. When Lloyd was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he had trouble sharing his news with others. But then, he was invited to join a cycle ride to raise awareness for the disease, having never really been a cyclist before, which resulted in him joining a 60-day relay across Canada and talking about being a Parky every day. He writes about this adventure and what he learnt from it in his book, and gives us a taste of it all in our conversation. Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Sir Nicholas MostynProduced by Lulu Goad and Ewan Cameron for PodotMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Flame Bearers, guest host Dana Mathewson speaks with Italian pro cycling superstar, former road world champion, and multi-stage Giro d'Italia Women winner Elisa Balsamo on navigating the Tour de France Femmes, and what it's like to keep your mind steady when your bike is going full speed. Fun fact: Elisa studied literature in college, and finds both solace and motivation in her favorite books. She shows us that true endurance comes from mental resilience, trusting your team, and cultivating a full life beyond the bike.--------Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, championing extraordinary athletes and driving conversations around equality, leadership, and high performance. We've collaborated with 450+ Olympians and Paralympians from 55 countries—including Hilary Knight, Sue Bird, Caster Semenya, and Amber Glenn— and have earned 28 international awards for capturing raw human journeys of resilience, confidence, and mental health. Through video, podcasting, events, and social media, we spotlight the athlete's story behind the scoreboards, in her own words.

This week, James and Will are joined by cyclist and author Simon Warren. It seems mad to think it, but when the idea of a clickbait listicle was just a twinkle in the internet's eye, Simon was busy writing an actual book about cycling, which quickly became the text that defined a genre: 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs released in 2010. Featuring everything from Box Hill to Bealach na Bà, 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs documented – you guessed it –one hundred of the greatest cycling climbs across Britain in meticulous style, from statistics and geography to descriptions of the roads themselves. Simon has written more than a dozen books since, all dedicated to discovering and documenting the best climbs around the world, from Tour de France stalwarts to dusty tracks in Tuscany and cobbled bergs in Belgium.In this episode, Simon talk about what makes good climb good but a great climb better; elevation versus length; the importance of the struggle; how Simon finds his climbs; how to plan your attack on a daunting climb; and of course, what the best climbs in the world are. Simon has just re-released an updated version of Cycling Climbs of Scotland (Adventure Books). Plus, you can check out all of Simon's UK climbs in his one mega app, 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs App, available in all the usual places.Chat begins at 5.57------------------This episode is brought to you by Boyd Cycling, whose full range of hand-built wheels can be found at boydcycling.com......and the Maserati Grecale SUV car.

The new Reform police and crime commissioner for Norfolk, former detective Colin Sutton, has said that releasing women from prison ‘would be a kind of a radical, outside-the-box way of creating more prison space'. He joins Nuala McGovern along with Andrea Coomber, the chief executive of The Howard League for Penal Reform. We follow up with BBC Journalist Catrin Nye whose podcast, Swingers, highlighted the story of Ruth, a woman who said she had been pressured into having sex with over 100 strangers. Since its release, 50 women have come forward with their own stories. Catrin tells us the latest.Author Wendy Jones recently observed that seven of the top ten fiction paperback novels on the Sunday Times bestsellers list featured a woman who had been murdered. Nuala talks to authors Saima Mir and Lesley McEvoy about why dead women are a central theme in fiction, and why those books are so popular.A new cycling app "Sofa to Saddle" wants to get one million more Brits peddling by 2028.

This week, James and Will are joined by Cannondale's Advanced Projects Engineer, Chris Dodman. Chris has been working for Cannondale for the last three decades, and though he might not exactly be a household name, you'll know who he is if you're Mario Cipolloini or Peter Sagan – Chris is the brains behind those glorious red Saeco CAAD bikes of the 1990s that saw Cipo dominate sprints, and the radioactive-green cobble-bashing Synapse in the 2010s that gave Sagan countless podiums. Or put it another way, Chris was a pioneer who made aluminium race bikes look viable amid a sea of steel, and who all but invented the endurance bike category (who said all-road?). Chris also holds countless patents in cycling; helped invent the first press-fit bottom bracket, the BB30; and led the charge on Cannondale's latest CAAD bike, the CAAD 14 – living metal proof aluminium still has its place on the road, and we'd wager one of the cleanest looking road bikes released in years. Who doesn't love a horizontal top tube?In this episode, Chris talks us through the potted history of Cannondale, from private jets to failed motorcycle projects to the fabled Volvo-Cannondale mountain bike team. We also talk about the difficulty of furthering design for such a simple machine as a bicycle; convincing Mario Cippollini to ride an American-made, aluminium frame; what he thinks about car manufacturers making bicycles; the smoke and mirrors of things like graphene and carbon nanotubes; and why the derailleur was probably dreamed up by two guys in a pub, is mechanically basic as hell, but is somehow completely brilliant.Chat begins at 12.14------------------This episode is brought to you by Laka bike insurance, the specialist bicycle insurers. see laka.co for more details...Boyd Cycling, whose full range of hand-built wheels can be found at boydcycling.com...and the Maserati Grecale SUV car.

This week, Robyn and Will are joined by one of British Cycling's most decorated track riders, Victoria Pendleton. Over a career that spanned more than a decade, Victoria won two Olympic gold medals and one silver, nine World Championships, two European Championships and the Commonwealth Games, although arguably her biggest contribution to cycling was her legacy. Along with Team GB alumni such as Laura Kenny, Joanna Rowsell, Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoy, Victoria helped inspire a generation of young riders and helped put British cyclists on the map, and propelled cycling as a sport into the British mainstream.However, Victoria's relationship with cycling hasn't always been a happy one. She retired after the 2012 Olympics stating she'd achieved everything she set out to do on a bike, only later to reveal that she found the British Cycling programme increasingly difficult to be a part of, and latterly coming out in support of former teammate Jessica Varnish's allegations about the BC culture, which in part led to the resignation of coach Shane Sutton amid wider allegations of sexism and discrimination.In 2015, Victoria switched a bike for a horse, and by 2016 she had completed ‘probably the greatest achievement of my life' when she finished fifth in the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham. Occasional sports commentary and multiple TV show appearances have kept her busy since, and earlier this year she released her psychology book,The Fear Opportunity, which draws on her experiences as both an athlete and in day-to-day life. In this episode, Victoria discusses her own fear of failure and change, the impact of the media and external noise, women's progress in sport and the psychology of mental resilience.Chat begins at 6.44Check out Victoria's new book, The Fear Opportunity (Pan Macmillan) here------------------This episode is brought to you by the Maserati Grecale SUV car.
