Cyclist Rides Cross-Country for Civil Rights w/Teddy BloomRide4Rights: A Bike Protest Across AmericaTeddy, a Santa Fe local, started his ride April 20th. His bicycle ride began at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, and culminates at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. Along the way, he invites other riders to join him in his stops at state capitals and other key locations across the country. The ride serves as a peaceful protest against the heightened polarization and divisiveness in today's American political landscape. Teddy's aim is to:- Elevate the importance of free speech For centuries, the United States of America has been a pillar of the sharing of new ideologies freely without the fear of persecution. The ability to share political opinions and protest without the fear of retaliation and/or political imprisonment is vital to American culture.- Advocate for equal justice under the law All people on American soil have the right to the U.S. justice system regardless of citizenship status. This includes, but is not limited to, a speedy fair trial and access to a lawyer. The incarceration of any arrested person should take place within a facility inside U.S. borders that is subject to federal and/or state regulations.- Highlight the importance of education on how our government function Teaching the American populace about the history, purpose, and validity of their federal institutions. In addition, discussing the state of institutions and how they are currently operating.- Foster unity across diverse communities In an era where misinformation and outside entities are trying to divide and weaken the United States of America, it is important we find common ground and try to build a better nation for ourselves and those who come after us.Links:https://www.ride4rights.com/https://www.instagram.com/ride4_rights/Tags:Adventure,Cyclist,Freedom of Speech,Social Justice,Cyclist Rides Cross-Country for Civil Rights w/Teddy Bloom,Live Video Podcast Interview,Interview,Podcast,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcast,PodmatchSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

This week, James is joined by cycling journalist and author Chris Sidwells, to explore the life and times of Britain's most storied rider, Tom Simpson, on the eve of Simpson's historic World Championships win, 60 years ago, almost to the day.As Simpson's nephew (his mother was Simpson's sister), Chris is uniquely placed to tell us the tale of the miner's son from County Durham who'd become the first Briton to wear the yellow jersey in, winning countless races including three of the five Monuments along the way. As most will know, the end of the Simpson story is a tragic one, but while Chris talks candidly about that day on Mont Ventoux and the situation leading up to it, he's also here to remember Simpson as the trail-blazing, mercurial rider, whose palmarès deserves to be the thing we remember him for most.So sit back and enjoy stories you may have heard before, only uniquely told with hidden insights, plus many more stories you haven't, as we celebrate the extraordinary feats of Mr Tom.From 7th-14th September, Chris and his Cycling Legends friends will be hosting an extended Tom Simpson Cycling Festival in Harworth, Nottinghamshire, which includes sportives, cycling talks and films, the Tom Simpson Museum reopening, and the return of the Retro Weekender, replete with Simpson Retro Ride, Best in Show vintage bike competition and all manner of cycle-centric fun, from grass track racing to the retro bike jumble.

The All Local Afternoon Update for Friday, August 22 2025
This week, James and Will are joined by three-time Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy. At 16, Ed had been scouted by British Cycling's Academy, where he came up with riders like Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas, and by 2008, aged 23, he'd won his first gold medal in the Olympic Team Pursuit. Two more golds followed in same event, at London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as a bronze in the Omnium in 2012, making Ed one of the most successful British cyclists of all time, and one of only a handful of athletes to have won golds at three successive Olympics.Over a career spanning two decades, Ed won dozens of track medals at World and National level and broke multiple world track records, and enjoyed an illustrious career racing on the road for one of Britain's most successful domestic teams, Rapha-Condor, before retiring in 2021.Today, Ed works as the active travel commissioner for South Yorkshire, advises British Cycling on various projects, mentors, coaches and has just written a new book, Full Gas Forever, a 40+ Cyclist's guide to riding faster and further, co-written with Lexie Williamson.In this episode, Ed tells us about life under Dave Brailsford, having people joke about breaking his shoulders for aerodynamic gains, turning 40 and how that's changed his cycling mentality, accidentally ‘winning' the Fred Whitton sportive, and what it was like competing in his day versus what riders have to go through now.Ed's new book, Full Gas Forever, is published by Bloomsbury and available here.Interview begins at 12.20-----------------This episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.

This week James and Will (well, mostly James) are joined by author Paul Maunder, who discusses his book, Angel of the Mountains: The Strange Tale of Charly Gaul.Born in Luxembourg in 1932, Charly Gaul turned professional aged 20, quickly establishing himself a prodigious yet mercurial talent, 'A murderous climber with a lower gear than the rest, turning his legs at a speed that would break your heart – tick tock, tick tock, tick tock,' said fellow rider Raphaël Géminiani. In 1956 Gaul won the Giro d'Italia, followed by the Tour de France in 1958 and the Giro again the following year, yet despite such success he was a fragile and curious figure, prone to mistakes, distrust and neurosis, and by 1965 he had retired, having never reached such heights again. But that's only half the story, as Angel of the Mountains tracks Gaul through a strange and tragic retirement and into a more peaceful old age.Angel of the Mountains - The Strange Tale of Charly Gaul is published by Quercus and is available in all good bookshops and online.------------------This episode is sponsored by Laka Bike Insurance, the specialist bike insurers.

From her early days as a national-level track athlete in Canada to surviving complex PTSD and rebuilding her life, Sarah's journey is one of transformation, resilience, and radical self-belief. In 2023, Sarah competed in the Transcontinental Bike Race, and in 2025, she took on her most audacious challenge yet: cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End and back again—2,715 km in just 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes, setting a new outright record. This conversation dives deep into the planning, training, and mindset behind the ride—from strength work and 3:30 AM mornings to battling hallucinations, sleep deprivation, and pain barriers. Sarah shares her three-part mantra—Focus, Discipline, Gratitude—and unpacks how elite performance is built in the margins: with structure, strategy, and sacrifice. Whether you're chasing a personal goal or looking for motivation to push your own limits, this is an episode that will fuel your fire.

What happens when a world-class swimmer turned professional cyclist discovers that her biggest performance barrier wasn't training - it was nutrition?In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dani, an accredited practicing dietitian and professional cyclist who competed at 4 World Championships and 2 Pan Pacific Games as a swimmer. After struggling with recurring injuries, illnesses, and the dreaded "bonk" during training, Dani made a shocking discovery: she wasn't fueling her body properly.From getting sick every second month as a swimmer to now thriving in the European cycling peloton, Dani shares her transformation story and breaks down the science behind optimal endurance nutrition. You'll learn about REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), why the "leaner equals faster" mentality is destroying athletes, and practical strategies for fueling your training and racing.Key Topics Covered:The real story behind recurring sports injuriesREDs: What it is and why it's more common than you thinkCarb loading done right (spoiler: it's not pasta all week)Pre, during, and post-training nutrition strategiesManaging GI distress during long sessionsWhy fasted training isn't recommended for female athletesReal-world fueling strategies from a pro cyclist (17-20 hours/week training)Whether you're a weekend warrior or aspiring pro, this conversation will revolutionize how you think about food as your most powerful performance tool."Food is fuel—it's like petrol to a car. You can put all your effort into training, but your adaptations happen after training with your food and recovery." - Dani---Follow Dani: @dani.de.dietitianBook an appointment with Dabi: https://www.pogophysio.com.au/book-now/Follow Bruna: @justbrunathingsFollow Fabi: @endurance_fabi

Two Kiwi Olympians are taking on a herculean challenge - cycling 4500kms through East Africa for charity. Cyclist and Paris 2024 Olympic Silver medalist Nicole Shields came up with the idea and has managed to convince her friend, Olympic kayaker Hamish Legarth, to come with her. But unlike the high performance sports world they're used to, there will be no support crew in tow - with the pair carrying everything they need for the at least two-month adventure on them. Nicole and Hamish spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Coach Chris interviews Thomas Henson, a personal injury attorney specializing in catastrophic injuries and avid cyclist, who shares critical insurance and safety information that can protect cyclists and all active individuals on the roads.We discuss: • Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) is vital but often overlooked insurance that protects you beyond just car accidents• UM/UIM coverage follows you when cycling, running, or even walking, and extends to family members in your household• North Carolina's minimum required auto insurance ($30,000) is often insufficient to cover medical expenses from even moderate injuries• Catastrophic cycling injuries can result in medical expenses reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars• Detailed documentation after a cycling accident is crucial, including medical attention, police reports, witness information, and photographs• North Carolina's contributory negligence law means cyclists could recover nothing if found even 1% at fault for an accident• Safety practices like wearing helmets, using lights, and avoiding confrontational behavior protect you physically and legally• Keep detailed records of all cycling equipment purchases and upgrades to ensure proper valuation after an accident• GoPro cameras can provide valuable evidence in cycling accidents• Always seek proper medical attention after an accident, particularly for head injuries which should be evaluated by concussion specialists.

This week James and Will are joined by Stephen Roche, who in 1987 became only the second rider in history to win the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and World Championships in one season, aka the Triple Crown (pub fact: the other was Eddy Merckx in 1972, then Tadej Pogačar joined them in 2024).In this episode Stephen talks us through this incredible season, from the rollercoaster Giro that had him fearing for his safety, to crossing the line first in Austria to cap a historic season. Stephen also regales us with tales of his early years at notorious French amateur club ABCC; falling out with team bosses and sponsors; proving the doubters wrong; crashing and injury; and what he makes of the sport today.This July, Stephen will be riding three stages of the Tour de France as part of the Tour 21 venture, raising money for Cure Leukaemia along the way, a charity close to Stephen's heart after his son Florian was diagnosed with the disease aged just seven.

Crowd in SHOCK as Female cyclist LASHES OUT at TRANSGENDER opponent for STEALING VICTORY from her!
Florian Vermeersch is a Belgian cyclist with some very impressive palmares to his name. 2nd place in Paris-Roubaix as a 22 year old, a pair of silver medals at the UCI gravel world championships, a handful of wins, a whole bunch of podiums, not to mention he's often the right hand man to Tadej Pogacar in plenty of races on the UAE Emirates squad. This was a really fun conversation to learn more behind the scenes with Florian on his ride through the World Tour ranks.
