The world of bike racing, from the high school through pro levels, has been predominantly male and predominantly white, so when I saw Ian Dille's article in Outside Online about ... Read moreOutspoken Cyclist – 4/23/2024
Ian Dille has always been someone who questioned the status quo. He's a freelance journalist and former pro cyclist who thinks social media can actually broaden our worldview - if used correctly. His long-form writing appears in outlets like Outside magazine and Texas Monthly, and his stories have been reproduced by This American Life and featured on Longreads. Perhaps even more impressive, he went viral on TikTok at age 40. Previously, Ian was a senior producer for the streaming service FloSports where he helped launch a cycling content platform, FloBikes, which broadcast most of the world's biggest bike races, including the Tour de France. We talked about his formative years in the cycling world and the types of stories that exist within the sport. In this episode, Ian shares insight into how his writing process has evolved, and how he's become invested in stories about social justice, racial justice, and gender equity. You can find Ian's writing at http://iandille.com/ and on Twitter and Instagram.

There are two sides to every story. In the last Episode of Ben and Bikes I spoke with Ian Dille about what happened at the 2001 Road National Championships in Florida and the subsequent article he wrote for this month’s edition of Bicycling Magazine titled “The Deal”.Long story short: With a few laps to go on a grueling circuit, the race was between Ian Dille and Mike Friedman. Ian who had been in the lead for a while, Mike who had just caught up to him. Ian’s recollection is that Mike said to him “I won’t Sprint” “You Can Win”. As they closed in on the finish line, the opposite happened. Mike did sprint, and he did win.Today my conversation is with Mike, to get his side of the story. Both of the race itself and some thoughts now that he has read the article that Ian wrote. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
All of us can probably remember a time in our lives where we wish we could go back and change a decision we made. The results of that decision probably stick with us today, and probably will for the rest of our lives. For today’s guest, that time was 2001, and his decision was based on 6 words.It was the 2001 U23 National Criterium Championship and Ian Dille was sitting on the starting line with 100 or more other hungry young racers. It was a tough field stacked with pros, previous champions, every person thinking “why not me”. The race starts, Ian feels great, but what happed in the last laps of that race will stay with him forever. This is his story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
