    Our guest today is Finley Newmark, former road racer, now film-maker, photographer and ultra gravel rider. Although relatively new to filmmaking and photography, Finley is quickly making a name for himself.

  • Dave Rome
    Dec 22 2022

    We are taking a walk on the Geek side in today's show, and who better to help guide us down this path than the venerable Mr Dave Rome?

    Dave is an authoritative voice, opinion leader and bike industry expert with world-class technical knowledge and experience.

    We sat down and had a chat about some essential maintenance tools as well as some great tips and tricks.

    A slightly longer show than usual because, as it turns out, talking tools is fun and time flies!!

    Enjoy!

  • Ukrainian Christmas
    Nov 3 2022

    Imagine going out for a bike ride in the forest. The fresh air, the silence, the anxiety. Thats right, anxiety because you are not sure when you get back into phone signal if there will be messages that your town has been bombed. Thats exactly the sort of thing todays guests are dealing with.

    We first encountered the Ukrainian bike-packing bag company 7 Roads bags at the recent Bespoked bike show where there were being represented by a customer of theirs, Artem. After speaking to Artem and hearing the 7 Roads story we knew we wanted to hear more and more importantly we knew we wanted to HELP more.

    So please take the time to listen to the stories of Elena, Stanislav and Artem and perhaps see if there is a way that you can help make it s slightly happier Ukrainian Christmas.

    A good place to start would be by supporting some of the great Ukrainian companies listed below!
