We go over our findings from the most recent round of value bike testing in Sedona, Arizona.

Ein Credo und seine Notwendigkeit: Ausbau der Nebensaison zum Ganzjahresziel und elektrische Innovation Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wir können immer und rund ums Jahr Astrid Stehanig-Staudinger, CEO der Österreich Werbung brachte es so, während der ITB in Berlin, schon vor einigen Wochen auf den Punkt. Die Alpenrepublik hat längst das Marketingstichwort „Ganzjahresziel“ für sich entdeckt und versucht es umzusetzen. Der Winter allein reicht nicht mehr aus, um dauerhaft erfolgreich zu sein und für weitere positive Anziehungspunkte zu sorgen. Damit ist die Ausdehnung aufs komplette Jahr ein wirtschaftliches Muss für Österreichs Reisebranche. Mit dem Saisongeschäft wird es schwieriger dauerhaft neue Kundschaft anzuziehen, zumal wenn Teile einer ehemaligen Hauptsaison dem Klimawandel absehbar zum Opfer fallen dürften. Nur wie macht man das? Entscheidend, so hieß es in Berlin, seien nicht mehr nur das Ziel, die Aktivität und die dazugehörige Saison, sondern ein Gefühl. Der Weg zum Ganzjahreserlebnis Wie entwickelt man genau diese strategische Zukunftsfrage? Zunächst einmal betont Astrid Stehanig-Staudinger, man sei ja nicht mehr am Anfang , sondern habe schon eine ganze Menge geschafft. Die „Lebensgefühl-Kampagne wurde bereits im letzten Jahr begonnen und ein Anteil von 28 Prozent Urlaubern in der Nebensaison kann sich sehen lassen. Pressegespräch der Österreich Werbung zur ITB 2026 in Berlin – Foto: Philipp Gaiko / Österreich Werbung Österreich als Gefühlserlebnis nicht mehr aus dem Kopf bekommen ist das Ziel der Kampagne. Nur sie lässt sich nicht verordnen. Das „Lebensgefühl Österreich“ muss in die Köpfe der potentiellen Kundschaft. Allerdings muss die Realität des Angebots auch vielfältig eingelöst werden. Gleichwohl treffen Natur, Berge, Seen, Wandern, Radfahren, Mountainbikes, Kulinarik, Schmäh, Stadt und Land aufeinander. Da müssen die einzelnen Gewerke zusammenarbeiten und an einem Strang ziehen. Von der Theorie zur Praxis Daran arbeiten die Destinationen seit geraumer Zeit und das zahlt sich offensichtlich aus. Während des Pressegesprächs kamen dementsprechend auch unterschiedliche Zielegebiete zu Wort. Beispiel Saalfelden – Leogang Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wenn nur bedingt Mittel da sind, um neue Anziehungspunkte zu schaffen, müssen diese aus der vorhandenen Infrastruktur entstehen. Wer Bergbahnen hat, kann neben Skifahrern im Winter auch Wanderer oder Mountain-Biker in den anderen Jahreszeiten in luftige Höhe bringen. Natürlich sind Wanderwege und Bike-Parcours eine Grundvoraussetzung fürs Gelingen. Martina Ellmauer, Prokuristin bei der Saalfelden – Leogang Tourismus GmbH, beschreibt die Bemühungen im Podcast sehr anschaulich. Beispiel Salzkammergut Salzkammergut: Mondsee – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Gut „lustig sein im Salzkammergut“ war bisher schwerpunktmäßig dem Sommer vorbehalten. Entspannte Wanderwege, entspannendes Seeerlebnis machten die Region berühmt. Nicht umsonst fuhr Alt-Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl bevorzugt an den Wolfgangsee. Inzwischen, berichtet Stefan Brandlehner, Geschäftsführer von Salzkammergut Marketing, hat man festgestellt, dass sich die Ruhe ausstrahlender Seen in Kombination mit Adventsstimmung wundervoll verkaufen lässt. See und Kulinarik funktionieren im Januar und Februar. So soll jede Region ein eigenes Erfolgsrezept entwickeln. Das Ziel ist sicher noch nicht erreicht, der Weg dorthin aber durchaus erfolgversprechend beschritten. Sagen wir mal die Vielfältigkeit herausarbeiten mit dem Credo: Es gibt überall etwas Passendes und das jederzeit. Ganzjahresziel als Teil sozialer Nachhaltigkeit Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Der Vorteil der Bestrebungen sei wirtschaftlich notwendig, zukunftssichernd und gleichzeitig auch sozial nachhaltig, sagt Astrid Stehanig-Staudinger. Sie meint damit nicht nur eine Überlebensfähigkeit engagierter Betriebe, sondern auch die soziale Absicherung der Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Wer einen guten, dauerhaften und sicheren Job hat, der bleibt. Wer dauerhaft engagierte Mitarbeitende beschäftigt, bietet nicht nur Perspektiven fürs Personal, sondern hat Sicherheit im Betrieb. Saisonbetrieb macht den Fachkräftemangel größer, jedes Mal und gelegentlich mit ungewissem Ausgang. Die touristische Bedeutung Wintersportregionen auch im Sommer interessant machen. Das Salzkammergut und die Region zum Adventsspot machen Advent als Reisegefühl: Salzkammergut und Salzburg machen es vor. Hier: Salzburger Christkindlmarkt am Residenzplatz © Tourismus Salzburg GmbH/Foto: G. Breitegger Das Burgenland zur Wein- UND Kulturregion machen oder den Mehrwert in Städten, gleich ob Wien, Salzburg, Innsbruck oder Graz, herausarbeiten und bewerben. Graz  – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Damit einher geht auch die Verpflichtung immer wieder Neues zu kreieren, das die eigene Destination für das ganze Jahr attraktiv macht, beziehungsweise die Nebensaisonzeiten so attraktiv macht, dass Gäste kommen und gleichzeitig die Hauptsaison so attraktiv zu halten, dass die Kundschaft nicht abwandert. Generationswandel einkalkulieren: Beispiel mit Hypershell PRO Wenn Kärntens Berge, Badeseen und das Schloss am Wörthersee ausgeschöpft sind, braucht es eben neue Ansätze für neue Kundschaft. Und diese neue Kundschaft darf dann gerne auch etwas älter sein. Das waren zum Beispiel die Gedanken von Georg Overs, Geschäftsführer bei Region Villach Tourismus. Das E-Bike hat sich durchgesetzt, jetzt kommt etwas Neues, erzählt er mir. Das Bestechende dabei: Es geht nicht nur um ein neues Sport-Hilfsgerät, sondern auch um die Erschließung einer neuen Kundengruppe. Lüften wir im Podcast also das Geheimnis von E-Hike fürs leichtere Wandern aktiver Senioren. Man könnte es E-Wandern nennen Georg Overs demonstriert das Exo-Skelett auf der ITB – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Was das ist? Ein tragbares Exoskelett, das an Beinen und Hüfte angebracht wird. Es unterstützt die Bewegungsabläufe beim Wandern. Dadurch steigert es die Beinkraft, kann Gewicht ausgleichen und reduziert die Müdigkeit. Es ermöglicht Menschen mit geringerer oder schwindender Kondition, (weiterhin) schöne Bergerlebnisse zu genießen. Wird E-Hike zum E-Hype bei den “Boomern”? – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Leichter den Berg raufkommen mit Hypershell PRO – Foto: Rdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Herausforderung als Chance der Zukunft? Digitale Veränderungen bringen immer wieder Neues auf den Plan. Technische Entwicklungen sollen die Bemühungen der Touristiker zusätzlich unterstützen. Auch daran arbeitet Österreich. KI oder Gehirnstrommessung zur Touristensteuerung sind solche Stichworte Klingt ein wenig nach Horrorfilm. Ich habe mich darauf eingelassen, ausprobiert und überlebt. Das aber ist eine ganz andere Geschichte, die in der nächsten Woche folgt. Lebensgefühl Österreich: Grätzel feiern am Wiener Kutschkermarkt – Foto: Wien-Tourismus / Paul Bauer Information & Links Österreich Lebensgefühl Villach & Umgebung E-Hiking mit Hypershell PRO The post Podcast 318 – Austria 2026: Lebensgefühl & E-Hike first appeared on Deutsches Reiseradio (German Travelradio).

Seit Samstag gelten Tickets, die bei der deutschen Bodensee-Schifffahrt gelöst wurden, auch wieder auf Schweizer Schiffen. Ausserdem fahren die Schweizer Bodenseeschiffe nächstes Jahr wieder nach Konstanz. Damit endet ein Streit auf dem See. Weitere Themen: · Die Innerrhoder Landsgemeinde sendete gestern das kantonale Veloweggesetz zurück an die Regierung und das Kantonsparlament. Dies vor allem deshalb, weil das Gesetz zu wenig klar mache, auf welchen Wanderwegen in Zukunft auch Mountainbikes fahren dürfen. · In Rapperswil-Jona ist eine Initiative zu Stande gekommen, welche ein geplantes Asylzentrum verhindern will. Für die Initiative sind knapp 1'000 gültige Unterschriften zusammengekommen, gebraucht hätte es 600. · Die Thurgauer Regierung unterstützt das Kantonslager mit 60'000 Franken. Dieses findet nächstes Jahr in Neukirch, in der Gemeinde Egnach, statt.

Dr. Jack Hinman didn't graduate high school with a plan. In fact, he barely graduated at all. What he did have was a deep instinct for connection — and that instinct would quietly shape everything that followed. In this episode, Jack shares how friendships, attachment, and one professor who “saw something” in him changed the trajectory of his life. From wilderness therapy to launching his own young adult transition program, he reflects on what actually moves young adults forward — and why progress often starts with finding one meaningful anchor. If you've ever wondered what success looks like beyond grades, titles, or timelines, this conversation reframes it in two powerful words: connection and health.Jack's Resources: Website: Engage TransitionsInstagram: @engage.transitionsFacebook: Engage Young Adult TransitionsYouTube: Engage Young Adult TransitionsWebsite: Young Adult Transition Association Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail: joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #EmotionalProcessing #MentalHealthTips #YoungAdults #EngageTransitions

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen shares why time spent off the clock—whether on a pickleball court or flying down a mountain bike trail—isn't wasted time at all. He walks through a few simple questions about energy, excitement, connection, and laughter, and how different activities fill different buckets. Balance doesn't come from one perfect hobby—it comes from doing things that recharge you in different ways, so you can show up better at work and at home.

Geek Warning time! Factor's new One aero road bike, SRM's non-power pedals, and whether riding bikes ever feels like work are all things Dave and Ronan discuss this week.There's a bit of happy news for Spotify users, with our member-only channels now available on the green app. If you've been missing out on the Ask a Wrench segment (this week with Brad Copeland) because you're loyal to Spotify, then now is the time to jump in.Time stamps:3:00 - Factor's new One14:00 - New non-power pedals from SRM23:00 - Cube's recall25:30 - Do we ever get sick of bikes?37:30 - PSA for the bearings on your bike40:15 - Ask a Wrench (Members Only)41:00 - When to replace a punctured tubeless tyre49:00 - How much of a difference do a few millimetres make?57:00 - Pressures for winter tyres

In this episode, we finally dig into the tyre-testing project that quietly consumed most of my year.Nine months, six tyre widths, hundreds of test runs, three road surfaces, four identical wheelsets, and far too many cold late-night tests than any sane person should attempt. But it was worth it.Today, Ronan is joined by John Buckley the founder of Streamlines Aero, the company behind the hardware and technical support so crucial to this testing. Together, we break down how the test protocol worked, why it's different, and why those differences matter. We also unpack the major findings: why pressure mattered more than width in this dataset, why some long-held assumptions didn't hold up in the real world, and how tyre temperature turned out to be one of the biggest and least appreciated variables affecting performance.This is just the beginning. Later in the episode we explain where our tyre testing goes from here and what to expect in the new year.

This week's episode is perhaps a little more behind the scenes than most. Ronan tells Dave about his nine-month tyre-testing project and why he is now ready to actually test tyres. There's chat about the struggles in picking products for our favourite things lists. And you'll hear a conversation that involves a lot of cliches such as ‘you don't know what you don't know' and ‘listen to your bike and body'. Of course, there's a PSA, and somehow the conversation even turns to elephant asses. Oh yes, the Geeks cover some real ground in this one!Members of Escape Collective get all of that plus the Ask a Wrench segment (with pro mechanic Brad Copeland). It's a big segment this week with five questions answered, but like every other week, it's only available on the member-feed. Speaking of which, members can now access these episodes on Spotify!Time stamps:00:45 - Ronan's long-awaited tyre testing15:10 - The struggle of picking our favourite products23:00 - It's the last 5% that counts the most39:00 - The latest Rabbit Holes42:00 - PSA: The organised mess51:00 - Ask a Wrench (members only)52:00 - Servicing hubs and dealing with freehub drag1:01:25 - Singlespeeds and chain wear1:08:30 - Toe spikes and dealing with faulty shoes1:14:00 - Our preferred safety window for Hookless Road1:21:00 - A torque adapter question

Big wheels, a product recall, and another rant about poor bike design – oh yes, it's time for Geek Warning.This week Dave and Ronan return to your digital radios. On the list is a sneaky disappearance of a liked SRAM product, news from UCI regarding 32in wheels, and a recall from Trek. Some time on the tools has Dave ranting about a particularly bad example of internal cable routing, and of course, there's a PSA.Members of Escape Collective get access to the full episode, which includes our popular Ask a Wrench segment (this week with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland). Just a note that we had an audio issue, and so Ask a Wrench this week has us answering two questions rather than the usual three. Still, there's plenty of ground covered.Happy geeking!Time stamps:4:00 - SRAM quietly discontinues older AXS rim brake options7:20 - UCI leaves the door open to 32in wheels in MTB12:00 - Trek's big recall of little things17:10 - Rant time from Dave24:00 - PSA for another place to look for a creak29:00 - Ask a Wrench (Members Only)32:00 - Corrections Corner for the previous Ask a Wrench34:00 - Can a chainring wear out before a chain?41:00 - Shimano 105 shifter levers not engaging

Today on the show: There's pizza on the roof in Azerbaijan, we return to Israel intersection, and there's an auction that anyone with a spare $1000 should be watching very closely.

In a tech-launch heavy week, Suvi, Josh, and Alex have taken over the pod to chat about what was happening at the recent, season-ending Rouleur Live show, which led them to discuss the value of these cycling exhibitions a little more. To wrap things up, the team chatted through the – admittedly very off-road focused – new product launches from Nukeproof, Ritchey, Velocity USA, and Lazer. If you scroll past the show timestamps, we've also included a little Rouleur Live gallery there for you to browse. Timestamps:00:10 – Intro, and Suvi's Brompton skills04:49 – Rouleur Live: crowds, vibes & venue05:45 – Show tech highlights: Reap aero gravel bike & POC bags10:30 – What are trade shows even for now?15:00 – Industry networking, media value & meeting members20:39 – Nukeproof is back: new Reactor trail bike25:00 – Ritchey Septimer breakaway gravel bike32:00 – Tangent to talk about travel bikes vs hire vs bags39:44 – 32" wheels & the emerging 32er niche46:40 – New Lazer Impala: Dual Core trail helmet, helmet testing, MIPS rivals & Virginia Tech ratings55:00 – Outro

This final installment of the Orogenesis Dispatches series, which features host Josh Weinberg interviewing ultra endurance cyclist Kurt Refsnider, who has just completed the first full ride of the Orogenesis route – a massive backcountry mountain bike trail traversing the western U.S. from Canada to Mexico. The episode reflects on the full journey, covering logistics, experiences, highs and lows, and what's next.After riding for 72 of the past 82 days, Refsnider had just completed his ride and was enjoying some downtime before heading out again, this time to tackle Mexico's Baja Divide Trail. He detailed how, during his time following the Orogenesis route, he rode 3,130 miles (~5,000 km) and climbed nearly 413,000 ft (~126,000 m) of elevation across three states and a mix of singletrack (40%), pavement (10%), and a remainder or dirt tracks and Jeep roads.Looking back on the past three months, Refsnider talks of how the adventure was both a personal and collective effort. He experienced Orogenesis firsthand and tested what a purpose-built, bike-specific, transcontinental singletrack route feels like, while also demonstrating that the route “goes,” hopefully inspiring others to attempt it and validate the years of planning by the Orogenesis team. He also offers key highlights from the experience, lessons learned, and a deep dive into the gear he selected for the journey.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 590 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian wrecks another guitar and ponders what it is like to be knobyfied!   Brian once again eschews the uniform requirements for the podcast much to the chagrin of Richard and Blake and he now looks 20% scarier. Dave Mustaine is in the news for covering a Metallica song as a bow out on his final Megadeth album and the guys are all for it. Meanwhile Richard is unwell and has discovered his father had a groovy moment in the 1960's which led to the discovery of a new album. A new device called the Knobyfier caught Richard's eye and the guys discuss it whilst trying to avoid the normal grade school jokes. Back in Martinsville, Brian has accidentally damaged a guitar and it has bummed him out a little. He drops some major hints about Wampler's next few releases. The guys stumble across a new guitar based phone accessory and they fall in love with it and Brian dreams about owning a tricycle and not giving away billions of dollars.

In the latest installment of our special edition podcast, Orogenesis Dispatches, Josh Weinberg talks with adventure cyclist Kurt Refsnyder, who is riding the entire trail from the US border with Canada all the way to Mexico.Kurt checks in from Bridgeport, California, about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) into the 5,000-mile (8,000 km) route. From there, with it being nearly halfway through the route, he reflects on challenges that have included substantial sections of deadfall in Oregon, smoke and fires in Idaho, and unexpectedly hard sections like a soft rail bed in Northern California. He also reveals a feeling of relief being in California, where the trails are more established for bikes, and deadfall will hopefully be less of a concern.The bulk of the conversation addresses reader/listener-submitted questions that span a multitude of topics, including using an electronic drive train over a mechanical one, riding without a chamois pad, how he chooses camping spots, the daily joys of waking up on the trail, and what lies ahead.

Today on the show: Movistar is the new destination team, Kristoff crashed out, and we're headed back to Ayuso Alleyway.

Today on the show: Alexander Kristoff may miss his milestone, UCI points really matter for the next couple of weeks and there are more people leaving Ineos this off-season.

Juan Ayuso has a new home, Chloe Dygert has a sticker printing machine, and there are also some World Championships happening in Rwanda. 

Josh Weinberg recently checked in with Kurt Refsnider, a bikepacker attempting the first full ride of the Orogenesis Trail. At roughly 5,000 miles, the route begins at the Canada–US border and travels through Washington, Oregon, and California to the Mexico border, then onto the Baja Divide.At the time of recording, Kurt was in Paisley, Oregon, about 1,100 miles in, nearing California and the halfway point through the U.S. section.Kurt details how challenging the ride through Washington was, with nearly 120,000 feet of climbing and descending over rugged moto trails and non-motorized singletrack near Mount St. Helens. He faced detours due to land closures, and construction added to the difficulty.Once in Oregon, Kurt has primarily followed the Oregon Timber Trail. Using elevation gain as a metric for daily effort, he explains how climbing has taken priority over daily mileage, aiming for 7,000 to 8,000 feet of climbing per day.He also dives into gear maintenance and resupply strategies, which have been tough, with dust wearing down his suspension and brake pads, and unpredictable provision availability. He's already swapped out some wear items and explains how opting for battery packs over a dynamo hub for power has worked out.Along the way, Kurt has been fueled by strong community support.Folks following along are tracking his progress, offering lodging, bringing food, and sharing real-time trail conditions. Looking ahead, he faces a tough, deadfall-heavy section in southern Oregon. Once he crosses into California, he'll encounter faster ATV trails before taking a rest near Quincy and heading into long singletrack sections through Truckee and Tahoe, where we plan to catch up with him again.
