Cycling Podcasts

Hi,

Thought I'd start this thread.

I came across this podcast recently, and have found the show pretty good.

http://thebikeshow.net/

It's broadcast weekly on London radio station Resonance 104.4FM.

Does anyone else know of good cycling podcasts?

The Cycling Podcast is great... Lionel Birnie, Richard Moore and Daniel Frieb do it. They're doing daily stage reports from the Tour at the moment.

I subscribe to velocast (about £95 a year) but not continuing after this year as they don't add anything IMO and just moan and change their minds every other podcast.....

I used to love velocast but then it became subscription based which in my opinion defeats the purpose of podcasting.

Have been listening to this before I go to sleep every night during the tour, I generally enjoy it, however if Dave Brailsford is interviewed I'm out like a light. Only he could present a domestique collecting bottles from the team car as a specialist innovation.

BBC bespoke do a daily podcast / round up with Rob Hatch and Rob Hayles up to now, Magnus Backstedt will be with Rob Hatch for the remainder of the tour.
They also do live covergae of stages on bbc 5 live extra.

I too really enjoyed the Velocast podcast before it went subscription only, still get some great tweets from them.

Really enjoyed the velocast used to listen religiously before it became paid subscription, might take. The plunge and subscribe but before then I must give a few of the suggested ones a go

+1 on the itv tdf cycling podcast, would be great if they extended it past the tour

There is a couple of one off five live specials about doping in cycling that are also excellent

MPFG

Cycling_podcast with Richard Moore ,Lionle Bernie & Daniel Friebe is the best out there .....Its starting back after a Christmas break and will run usually evey two weeks through out the year

Stopped my Velocast subscription ....Agree TWICH is good but the moaning and sneering and superior attitude ,not to mention bias of Scott O Raw drove me insane...Like John Galloway but not the other guy

I like GCN.

If there is a doping scandal in cycling and you want to hear a podcast by people who have no interest in the sport except when they can talk about doping then Second Captains is for you. Why not start with today's!

I found this week's podcast from The Bike Show very interesting.
http://thebikeshow.net/cycling-in-the-suburbs-1930s-style/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheBikeShow+%28The+Bike+Show+from+Resonance+FM%29

A historian looking at who cycled in the 30s in England. Surprisingly, commuting cycling doesn't seem to have been all that popular (6% of commuters), apart from among the working class. Cycling wasn't very looked down on though, unlike motorcycling.

Early opposition to segregation in England (which when prompted he reckons was probably mistaken) comes up and some good diary entries from a rather eccentric and very keen cyclist of the time.

The historian seems to come to the conclusion that the suburbanites of the 30s wouldn't do anything differently if they could see how the direction they started off in back in the thirties turned out by 2015, because "people want cars".

He seems to suggest that public tranport is the solution to getting people to stop travelling very short distances, such as a mile, by car. This doesn't seem to me to be something that public transport can address in a suburban situation.

But a good podcast, I thought.

thedudeinthehat

the cycling central weekly podcast is usually a good listen. It has a focus on Australian riders but gives an insightful review and preview of most big races.

The cyclingtips website is also interesting for the weekly video roundup/ podcast of cosmo catalano "the week in bike"

the spokesmen (infrequent) podcast features industry, sportive (fondo) and some discussion on the pro scene. An American focus here but usually good contributions from Carlton Reid (UK )

Cycling 360 podcasts on I tunes are excellent. They cover every aspect of cycling from beginner to competitive racer. I have learned a lot from them. It's free too.
