Show 88 - Farewell Parts, Resolutions, and 3 Kilos
The Cyclist Pod

Woooah, so... where have they been? Well, due to the lag between recordings and publishing, you'll have to wait until show 91 (ninety one!) to find out, but in this episode Stephen and Raya autopsy the 2nd lockdown and how the cycling world has gone nuts. And bolts. And stems, cogs, pins, derailleurs... they've all gone. It's the great parts shortage and we're only a few weeks from fist fighting in the aisles of Evans Cycles for a brake cable. We review the New Year's Resolutions we have made (in hope more than expectation) and we hit you with a surefire way to lose 3kilos. No joke - it's the ..read more

Show 87 - Infrared, Jealousy and Apologies
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
It's been a while, hasn't it? Which is why, like a grocery delivery driver who's beyond apologetic for missing the last week's package, we're turning up absolutely full to the brim of podcast goodness. So in one of our busiest and most jam-packed episodes, well, ever, we cover, in no particular order; Raya's new watch (yeah that Wahoo jobby, she got it before ANYONE, the jammy b*tch), needles (listen to find out), axles (also listen), and we put our tail between our legs and apologise for what can only be described as our most complained about innaccuracy ever discussed. Oh God we're sorry. Ca ..read more

Show 86 - Dog Pics, Fog Trips, Dutch lips and a Deathwish
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
Don't let the show length fool you. Stephen and Raya are covering all subjects cycling, purist and tenuously related to the world of two wheels. Socially distanced as per usual; some of the subjects covered include cycling in fog, breaking spokes mid-ride, how our podcast strategy is ruled by dog pictures, and Raya's deathwish. Got cycling Christmas presents? We'll tell if you the're good or not. Are we the self-appointed authority? Yes. Do we have any reason for this? No. Stop questioning us, we're doing our best. Velominati wise it's all about the thrills of hills and pils. No, that's not a ..read more

Show 85 - Velockdown
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
The Cyclist Pod are coronabored. As we imagine you are too, so we're aiming to be the antidote. If not the vaccine. Stephen and Raya are socially distanced as ever - and attempt some public service broadcasting to help explain what you can actually do cycling-wise during a lockdown. It's light and shade an equal measures in this pod, as we get to have an amazing chat with the incredible renowned athlete Claire Danson whose survival and reboot from a spectacularly horrific cycling accident is a lesson in positivity and courage. Velominati wise - we hit a big one - and come out of it with the on ..read more

Show 84 - Look, it's Me or the Bike
The Cyclist Pod

Love is in the air! Or the bin. The Cyclist Pod is back  and Stephen discovers his love of the bicycle has been cited in his divorce. Yes, genuinely. Cycle clothing when not cycling. We answered this 2 years ago. Nothing like an update. Have our views changed? Is it Acceptable or excessive? Speaking of which... the Velominati's back and things are going downhill pretty quickly. Which is the idea.  On top of all this, the kitbag is back in force. We're geeking out on new fabric technology and also, diving into the new dhb winter range. Is this a big advert? No, we've bought it with ou ..read more

Show 83 - No Half Wheeling Measures
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
The Cyclist Pod attempts to provide an important public service: Letting the travelling cyclists know where, in these pandemic times, you can actually go cycling. Note that this advice is probably rubbish now thanks to lockdown 2. Grrrreat Anyway. Come for the advice, stay for the abuse. Raya's facing off to a double whammy: she can't head to Ironman Turkey, and the Velominati is covering one of her biggest bugbears. Does she lose it? Is this show a certificate 18? Damn effing right.  So Stephen's broken from lockdown overaction but he's gone to get a sports massage. A sports massage, it ..read more

Show 82 - Romesh Ranganathan vs Peloton
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
The Cyclist Pod talks to Romesh Ranganathan! In an episode that was initially going to just be about Peloton, we hand over the assessment to someone who actually uses it - a lot - and that's Romesh. Its cutting, surprisingly enthusiastic, and very very funny. We've still got time for some aimless silliness, a more serious (ish) look at why Peloton might be a serious option for keen cyclists, and a quintessential Velominati. In fact, it's so Velominati, it's a rule that has it's own rules. You can't miss this, despite us still having a few technical gremlins with Stephen's voice. Though it migh ..read more

Show 81 - Cycling Can Still Save the World
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
The Cyclist Pod is back; distanced but never distant! And we're speaking to Peter Walker; the author of the cycling book "Cycling can save the world". He also happens to be the Guardian's political correspondent. Cycling and politics? Does that mix? Listen and find out. But now, an apology. This short delay was down to some noteworthyly major tech hurdles; firstly, Raya was hacked. Like, held to ransom. Big time. Top social media honchos, the police, everything. We've never known lockdown drama like it. Secondly, our show had to be completely recorded after everything went AWOL. Hacked as well ..read more

Show 80 - Tour de BS
The Cyclist Pod
by Stephen Grant
3y ago
The Cyclist Pod comes back after an extended break with a distanced but IN THE SAME ROOM podcast. Baby steps guys, baby steps. It's a general catchup though so hold tight and Raya and Stephen chew the fat generally. All is looking good and friendly until Raya announces Zwift's new Tour de France challenge... until she realises a key detail of it. Then she goes BOOM. Listen up. Plus the kitbag, AND, a crowdfunder invention. We're quietly impressed. Will YOU be? And as ever, the Velominati.

Show 79 - Strava Segments
The Cyclist Pod

3y ago
The Cyclist Pod - now with Cyclist Magazine special offer included! It's sunny - so Stephen and Raya are out. Cycling. OBVS. Though they still have time to chew the fat of cycling related lockdown observations... including how the warehouses of Europe are running out of cycling kit and what this has done to the 2nd hand market. Never repaired an inner tube? Now might be time to learn. That said, while there's less kit, there's still a kitbag. Despite barely earning, we've been buying. IT'S AN ADDICTION YOU CAN'T HELP US And our main story - Strava. They've moved loads of stuff to pay only. Is ..read more
