  • I Lost 7kg Eating More (And Got Faster on the Bike)
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode, we unpack how Anthony lost 7kg in just 12 weeks — dropping from 86kg to 79kg — while eating more food than ever before. No calorie counting. No MyFitnessPal. No skipping meals or fasted training rides. And here’s the kicker: he didn’t lose power on the bike. In fact, he got faster. His energy increased, junk food cravings disappeared, and he never once felt like he was “on a diet.”

    The weight loss industry loves to shout “calories in vs calories out” and “ride more, eat less.” But that outdated advice is incomplete — and it could be making you heavier, slower, and more miserable on the bike.

  • Beyond Watts and Numbers: The Part of the Ride You’re Missing
    Feb 16 2026

    Every time you throw a leg over a bike, you’re making art. Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, this episode reframes cycling as more than training plans, watts, or weekend miles — it’s a way of being in the world. Riding sharpens your senses, changes how you read roads, weather, and your own body, and turns ordinary landscapes into something vivid. Each spin creates something new: a route, a mood, a story that didn’t exist before you clipped in. The bike becomes a lens for thinking, processing, and finding clarity without noise or distraction. So next time you roll out, ride like an artist: present, open, and trusting the work.
