Podcasts about wide angle podium

Remember when that guy used a bot to get the Tron bike for a race and it was the biggest cheating in the history of cheating? Ethics in gear acquisition is back in the news thanks to the new Zwift bike upgrades. Is it cheating to run Zwift with a heart rate monitor app while you're mowing the lawn? What if you hook up a Nintendo controller and mash the A and B buttons? We discuss.  Also, the World's Most Dangerous Group Ride, memories of the time they had a crit at the CrossFit Games, and of course, cheating.  Nowhere Fast is a member of the Wide Angle Podium network.
