Threshold is a Peabody Award-winning documentary podcast about our place in the natural world. Each season, we take listeners on a journey into the heart of a complex environmental story, asking how we got here and where we might be headed. In our latest season, Hark, we hand the mic over to our planet-mates and investigate what it means to truly listen to nonhuman voices—and the cost if we don't. With mounting social and ecological crises, what happens when we tune into the life all around us? Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.

Slow Guy On The Fast Ride

If you saw the time trial that opened up the third week of racing at the 2023 Tour de France, we'll forgive you for having a healthy dose of skepticism. But let's not forget to enjoy the spectacle: Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar are going to slug this one out until Paris, and we all get front row seats. Neal Rogers (former VeloNews editor in chief) and Andrew Hood (Velo European Editor) catch up with host Dan Cavallari to analyze Vingegaard's astonishing time trial and what that means for the third week of the Tour de France. In the second half of the show, Rogers and Hood give their takes on the Americans at the Tour. Does the future hold GC success for Sepp Kuss? Will Matteo Jorgenson reach super domestique status in 2024? How likely is Neilson Powless to be wearing polka dots in Paris? Hoody and Neal break it all down in this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast.

Spencer Powlison exists at a powerhouse crossroads in the cycling industry. He was the news director at VeloNews Magazine; an editor for The Pros' Closet; a cyclocross racer, gravel racer, and now motorcycle guru. But this new venture for Powlison, Direct-Current.bike, takes him off his usual beaten path. While Powlison can claim victories on a wide variety of surfaces and bicycle styles, eMTB wasn't much on his radar until recently. In his pursuit to learn something new and dive headlong into the nuts and bolts of it all, Powlison became an eMTB enthusiast. That led him to do what he does best: write about his experiences. Spencer Powlison joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about his new media title, Direct-Current.bike. Powlison gives us the lo-down on what he intends to do differently with his eMTB reviews. On top of that, Powlison gives his take on some of the hot topics surrounding eMTB.

The Tour de France starts in just a few days. Veteran journalists Andrew Hood and Neal Rogers join host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to reveal the big storylines of the Tour de France 2023. Who are the true GC contenders? What about the green jersey? Can Mark Cavendish beat Eddy Merckx's record this year? 'Hoody' and Neal give their dark horse picks for the podium in Paris. Can Jai Hindley play with the GC big boys? Is David Gaudu going to taste glory? Hoody and Neal have watched enough racing between them to give us a good sense of what's in play, and who's ready to take on history.

Mark did it! He went to Kansas and raced Unbound Gravel! Well, sort of. Like so many other unfortunate participants, Mark got time-cut after a 4-mile slog through an unrideable mud pit. But he had a great time anyway, and learned a lot about himself, and gravel-riding. Mark joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to recap his Unbound Gravel experience and clue us in on what's next on the Rebuild Mark agenda. #rebuildmark @unboundgravel #unboundgravel Gear provided to me by brand partners: Alchemy Ronin Carbon Gravel w/SRAM Force XPLR @AlchemyBikesUSA https://alchemybikes.com/products/ronin-carbon-gravel-bike Endura GR500 Reiver Jersey and Bibshorts @EnduraOfficial https://us.endurasport.com/rider/gravel-bike.list Gore Shakedry 1985 rain jacket @GORETEXBrand https://www.gore-tex.com/technology/original-gore-tex-products/shakedry Feedback Sports tools and work stands @FeedbackSportsOfficial https://www.feedbacksports.com Elite DIRETO XR-T trainer @elitecycling https://www.elite-it.com/en/products/home-trainers/interactive-trainers/direto-xr-t Limar Horus Sunglasses - they aren't available yet and I couldn't find any details so just watch https://us.limar.com for more info. @limarhelmets1954 Gear I paid for and/or stole from Dan's garage: Revelate Mag Tank top tube bag @revelatedesigns7380 https://www.revelatedesigns.com/index.cfm/store.catalog/cockpit/MagTankBoltOn CamelBak Chase hydration pack @camelbak https://www.camelbak.com/recreation/shop/packs/bike/chase-bike-vest-50-oz/CB-2414.html Pearl Izumi Gravel Shoes @pearlizumi https://www.pearlizumi.com/collections/mens-gravel/products/expedition-pro-shoes-15192304 Shimano XTR pedals @RideShimano https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/xtr-m9100/PD-M9100.html - mine are 18 years or so old but they look about the same Fizik Terra Argo X1 saddle 150mm @fizik https://www.fizik.com/eu_en/terra-argo-x1.html Fizik Terra Argo X3 saddle 160mm - proved to be too wide for me but I bought and tried it https://www.fizik.com/eu_en/terra-argo-x3.html Skratch Labs Hydration, Superfuel, and bars @SkratchLabs https://www.skratchlabs.com Honey Stinger waffles @HoneyStingerBuzz https://honeystinger.com Teravail Cannonball Durable Black Sidewalls 700x42 tires @teravail4366 https://www.teravail.com/product/teravail-cannonball-tire-394759-1.htm Orange Seal sealant Be sure to check out our other podcasts, videos, and live streams, and subscribe wherever you get our stories.

How do you rebuild your fitness after years off the bike? My friend Mark Still has an idea and it isn't subtle. He's fallen away from riding bikes in recent years and suffered the consequences in more ways than one. From extra weight to other health issues, not to mention the mental health ramifications of leaving bikes out of his life, the consequences of continuing on his current path are too dire. He has decided to rebuild himself and reignite his love of bikes. How will he do it? Enter Unbound Gravel 200. Rebuild Mark is a project that aims to get Mark back out riding by putting the biggest, gnarliest gravel event in the United States on his calendar with an impossibly short time horizon to be ready. It's a put up or shut up sort of ultimatum. And if you're in a similar position, well, this might be a good time for you to Rebuild [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE]. Let us know if you're on this journey too, and we can hold each other accountable. See you in Kansas!

Gary Fisher has cemented his name in the annals of bicycle history already as the father of the mountain bike. Now, the dapper general of all things dirt has turned his attention to a new opportunity for revolution. As the e-bike world has expanded over the last several years, the physical products have ranged anywhere from meticulous but pricey to absolutely cheap and dicey. Gary Fisher's new company, Morelle, aims to change that spectrum entirely. Fisher joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to give a few hints as to what Morelle bikes might offer consumers — the bottom line is that Gary Fisher intends to pick up where so many other companies have failed on battery efficiency, design, and price. While Morelle isn't ready for primetime yet, Fisher walks us through some of the unique features we can expect to see on the bikes when they do launch. And in true Fisher fashion, the story threads through years of mountain bike design, riding with members of the Grateful Dead, and trippy light shows.

Newly-minted Gravel Hall-of-Famer Yuri Hauswald is a staple of the gravel scene. Go to just about any gravel event in the US and you're likely to spot Yuri, either toeing the starting line, repping Gu Energy, or just hanging out to meet people and help out where he can. Hauswald is a former winner of Unbound Gravel, but his racing days are largely behind him. Now, Hauswald is committed to enjoying the gravel community and helping to grow it in meaningful ways. Yuri Hauswald joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about what it means to become a Gravel Hall of Famer, what the gravel community offers to new and old riders alike, and why it's vital to ensure gravel's growth focuses on inclusion and dynamic evolution rather than simply racing.

David Hale Sylvester, more affectionately known as Big Dave for very obvious reasons, has used his bicycle to challenge himself, much like the rest of us. But more than that, Big Dave saw it as a tool to reach people he would otherwise never meet. When the bike took him to those places, Big Dave wanted to make sure he had a plan for the moment. As it turned out, the simplest plan has proven to be the most effective. Big Dave has spent two decades traversing the globe via bicycle, car, train, plane, boat, all to simply hug people. He knows how corny that sounds, too. It's hard to reconcile the massive personal trainer with a penchant for curse words leaving his home in Philadelphia just to go hug people. But there's no ulterior motive here; Big Dave deals in hug currency, and he's the richest man on the planet. SPECIAL THANKS TO HUNT BIKE WHEELS FOR SUPPORTING THIS EPISODE OF THE SLOW GUY ON THE FAST RIDE PODCAST! CHECK OUT HUNT WHEELS HERE. Big Dave joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast for reasons only tangentially related to the bicycle. This episode is part eulogy, part comedy, and part adventure log. But more importantly, Big Dave, the author of "One Hug at a Time," gives us the truest sense of what human connection can, and should, be — simply by embracing the world, even the ugly parts, even the scariest parts.

Adam Miller is already a 'serial entrepreneur' very early in his life and career. He founded Borealis Bikes, a high-end carbon fat bike brand based in Colorado Springs. Then after selling that company, he went on to start Why Cycles, a premium titanium bicycle brand. Not content with two successful companies, Miller started a third, and it's undoubtedly his biggest success yet: Revel Bikes. Oof. Try to keep up, right? With the wildly successful Revel upstart taking over the mountain bike world, Miller finally found it tough to balance two separate companies. So as of March 1, Why Cycles — the premium titanium bike company — and Revel Bikes are all under one house: Revel Bikes. Miller joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to lend us some insight into starting and maintaining multiple successful businesses when so many of the company's peers are struggling in post-COVID realities. On top of that, Miller gives us a taste of what's in store for Revel, including a new production facility in Taiwan that should make the design and manufacture of Revel Bikes even more streamlined.

Marley Blonsky made a massive life change last year. She moved from Seattle to one of the new bike Meccas, Bentonville, Arkansas. A built-in bike community in an up-and-coming location making waves throughout the bike world seemed like the right fit. Once she arrived, Blonsky wasn’t content to simply start living the bike bum lifestyle (which, frankly, I would have!). Instead, she got to work leaving her mark once again on the bike industry. Her new podcast, All Bodies on Bikes, pairs Marley with her co-host Maggie to explore all-body-inclusion and how it affects the industry at large. From the All Bodies on Bikes podcast page: “We will explore themes such as party pace and why Marley hates it, the limitations of equipment, finding clothing and cycling tools, group ride dynamics as a larger-bodied person, the impact that ‘All Bodies On Bikes’ has had and can have on the cycling industry as a whole.” She’s also working on creating her own clothing company to accommodate big bodies. It’s a sore spot for most riders who don’t fit the skinny-cyclist mold, and Blonsky intends to do something about it. Marley Blonsky joins host Dan Cavallari to give an update on her move to a new part of the country, her work in and out of the industry, and what the future holds for her big projects.

There's no way to say it: The state of cycling media has been downright ugly in the last couple of years. Caley Fretz would know, too. He was, until very recently, the Editor in Chief of CyclingTips.com, and before that, he was a longtime editor and reporter at VeloNews Magazine. Now both of those titles barely exist, and Fretz, along with most of the rest of the CyclingTips crew, has moved on from the title. In Fretz's case, he was laid off. For some of the other staff, their departures were based on principle, as a response to the gutting of the editorial staffs at CyclingTips and sister titles. So Fretz has a unique take on all of this media pillaging. But more than that, Fretz and former CyclingTips owner/founder Wade Wallace have embarked on their own venture. The cycling media space isn't dead; it's evolving. And Fretz, along with Wallace, intend to take steps to ensuring media not only survives, but also evolves. It's the only way forward. Fretz and Wallace know it's a big risk. They also know it's a necessary path. Caley Fretz joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about what cycling fans can expect from the media in 2023 and beyond. While it's an intimidating time to be a journalist, Fretz believes there's much to be excited about. The possibilities for new media models are just beginning to come to light.

Kitsbow CEO David Billstrom knows his products offer some of the highest quality on the market. That's a blessing for sure, but it also means there's tons of gear out there that's got a lot of life left in it. What a shame it would be for those pieces to end up in a landfill. That's partly why Kitsbow recently launched its Experienced Apparel store. Anyone who owns Kitsbow clothing they no longer wear can list it on the Kitsbow Experienced Apparel store, and the rest of us bargain hunters can buy used pieces with plenty of life left in them. It's part of a larger ethos that Billstrom and the rest of the Kitsbow team has been building over the last several years. It's a response to consumer desire for environmental responsibility, not to mention ever-rising costs across all industries. Billstrom catches us up on Kitsbow's employee ownership structure that launched last year too. It's been a learning experience, but it's starting to show dividends.

If Ben Delaney's name doesn't ring a bell, chances are you know him anyway: he's been producing some of the best gear and tech coverage in the bike industry for decades. Formerly the editor in chief at VeloNews Magazine, and editor at BikeRadar, Ben has since branched off to create his own YouTube channel, "The Ride with Ben Delaney." Same excellent coverage, new format. Delaney joins host Dan Cavallari in the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride world headquarters (sometimes known as Dan's kitchen) to have a sip or two of coffee...and inform Dan that he was right... about what? Check out the episode to find out! Delaney also gives us an update on what it's like to go independent in today's media environment. Often riding solo and armed only with a GoPro, Delaney has simultaneously won races and created content for his YouTube channel — an impressive feat and a template for up-and-coming journos to follow.

Ned Boulting has watched a lot of bicycle racing. He has to, after all, since he's the voice of the Tour de France, among other races, for ITV4 on British television. It stands to reason, then, that Boulting should have lots to say about the stories, results, polemics, and minutiae that defined the past year of racing. That is perhaps why he found himself as the editor of The Road Book, cycling's comprehensive almanac. Boulting joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to give perspective on why the Road Book offers a unique historical perspective for the casual fan, data enthusiast, and even the journalism crowd. Boulting also gives his impression as to why it took this long for cycling to get its own yearly almanac — and who precipitated the drive to provide almanacs for years past, before the Road Book's inaugural release in 2018. (Hint: he's won a bunch of Tours de France and his name rhymes with, um, Chris Froome.) Be sure to check out our other podcasts, videos, and live streams, and subscribe wherever you get our stories.

For many years during my tenure as technical editor at VeloNews Magazine, I always knew where to go for answers. My managing editor Chris Case's desk was only a few feet away after all. Case was a wealth of knowledge then. His new venture, Alter Exploration, seeks to exploit Case's thirst for the why, the how, and most importantly, the where. Alter Exploration is a natural extension of Case's core talents and passions. Yes, he'll take you where you want to go. But perhaps there's something just over that rise; perhaps instead of that direction, we'll go in this direction. Case's mission for Alter Exploration isn't simply to get you to far-flung destinations. It is, instead, to explore the many perhaps moments there are on offer in each location. The ultimate goal of each Alter Exploration excursion is to adventure. Big days on the bike, pushing the rider's limits, but also expanding the rider's mind and soul. Case has researched each location carefully and has ridden extensively in each one. He's the kind of guy that gets excited about travel logistics. He just wants to peek around the corner to find a good place to eat. Maybe there's a waterfall we should all see down this path... Case joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about his evolution from scientist to writer and editor, to adventurer. Alter Exploration was borne from that journey, and in a sense is a natural extension of the many skills and experiences Case picked up along the way.

The Alchemy Bicycles experience center in Golden, Colorado houses all the trappings of a much bigger bicycle manufacturer. There’s the CNC machine, welding stations, a carbon-cutting room, and a dedicated paint room. Alchemy can, and does, build just about everything in-house. But what’s more noticeable about the experience center is just how quiet it can be. That’s by design. While the manufacturing facility sits behind a big, glass garage door, largely blocking sound from the building side, the showroom feels relaxing. Bikes gleam in the sunshine streaming through the big windows. The coffee bar stands at the ready to offer any visitors a cup, whether you’re there to buy a bike or just to hang out. It’s all part of a larger process, planned to give Alchemy a unique approach to bicycle building and purchase. And it’s something Alchemy’s founder, Ryan Cannizzaro, has had built into his business plan from the start.

As a small business owner, I'm always fascinated to hear from other folks making the push to start a business. Rob Einaudi is doing just that with Bikelist.com, a new marketplace for used bikes. The idea, he says, is akin to the music equipment buying site, Reverb.com. It offers an experience tailored to cyclists, unlike the behemoth that is eBay. Einaudi's undertaking comes at an opportune time, as the cycling world experiences growth due in part to the pandemic and in part due to the desire for non-motorized transportation options. Rob Einaudi joins host Dan Cavallari on this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about the ups and downs of starting a business in general — and more specifically, in a niche industry like that of bicycles.

Sadhbh O'Shea has covered the Tour de France as a journalist before. But never like this. The historic Tour de France Femmes this past summer gave O'Shea a front-row seat to the overwhelming success of the women's race around France. And like the riders on course, O'Shea and her fellow women journalists made history too by pumping out an intimidating amount of high-quality reporting and storytelling. In this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast, O'Shea, who now writes for VeloNews Magazine, recounts the ups and downs of the Tour de France Femmes. She also gives us a sense of what it's like to cover not one, but two Grand Tours in the middle of July in France. From press rooms to mountain top finishes, O'Shea was there to take it all in and lend her perspective to us. Of course, COVID still isn't done with us. And O'Shea had a bout of it herself in between the men's Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes. O'Shea tells us how COVID affected this year's race, not only for the riders, but also for the journalists covering the events.

Sofiane Sehili doesn't mind being alone in the woods. As long as he's on his bike and moving, Sehili has an innate ability to go long periods of time without sleeping. So that makes him perfectly tailored to a race like the Tour Divide. In fact, Sehili is so well-mated to the race that he won it in 2022, all while setting the fastest known time. On this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast, Sofiane Sehili joins host Dan Cavallari to talk about his experience on the Tour Divide route. It's a long, difficult journey, and Sehili experienced all four seasons on this 14-day trip. Snow, rain, heat, high altitude, and much more were all on the menu. Sehili also gives us perspective on what got him interested in ultra-endurance events in the first place. Like so many of us, Sehili's experience with bicycles started simply by commuting to work. He lives in Paris, which isn't exactly conducive to mountain biking, or dirt riding in general. But that's where he fell in love with the bike. From there, it became clear to Sehili that he needed to venture further out to get experience with long, difficult dirt rides. That's exactly what he did. Before attempting to tackle the Tour Divide, Sehili did other ultra-endurance events. it was over the course of several such rides that he discovered his talents. Surviving an ultra-endurance event is one thing. Winning one? That's a different beast. Sehili lends some insight as to how he went from simply surviving these rides to winning them. It doesn't take a lot of gear to take part in an ultra-endurance event. Sehili says it simply takes the right gear. He doesn't carry much on his bike, and he sleeps very little. So his gear choices reflect those tendencies. Be sure to subscribe to the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast wherever you download podcasts.

For a group of folks who wear skin-tight clothing in public, cyclists sure can be weird about anatomy. Talk saddle sores, butts, vaginas, and anything else that gets a tad rugged on a ride and giggles and pearl clutching is sure to follow. Chamois Butt'r founder Steve Mathews is over it, though. He's been making butt products long enough that the topic feels natural. Mathews joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride Podcast to shed some light on what Chamois Butt'r is and why you may want to use it. Or why you might not want to use it. It's all up to the specific butt crammed in a chamois. Chamois Butt'r gets applied to your chamois and helps reduce friction that leads to chafing. But not every rider needs it or wants it. That's just fine, says Mathews. But for those butts that do need it, Chamois Butt'r can be indispensable. Mathews knows this first-hand. (First butt? Sorry, I'll show myself out.) He developed Chamois Butt'r after seeking out a product that would help him avoid chafing on his own rides. He discovered that there just wasn't anything out there that met his needs. Well, without destroying his clothes along the way. So he started making butt creams in his garage. (His words, not mine! Okay, I'll still show myself out.) Find out why Mathews thinks his product vastly outshines the tried-and-true tin of bag balm. Mathews also clues us into what separates each of his products from another; as it turns out, different bottoms need different creams. Mathews's story takes us from his garage and a few buckets, to a manufacturing facility and a lot of happy chamois. Give this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride Podcast to learn about a vital, but perhaps unglamorous, product that can make or break your ride.

Lee Lambert is the Executive Director of the Cascade Bicycle Club. But before that, he was a hobbyist cyclist who found himself riding from Seattle to Portland and really soaking in one of the best times of his life. He did the ride again, and again. He even did it on a tandem with his wife. So it seemed only natural to get involved even more with the Cascade Bicycle Club, the outfit responsible for putting on the event. As it turns out, the club does a whole lot more than simply host a ride. Community engagement and infrastructure lobbying come part and parcel with the expansion of bicycle riding in the northwest, and Lambert is heavily involved in the group's efforts. Listen to this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to get Lee's take on what the club is up to, what makes the Seattle to Portland ride an incredible adventure, and what's on the horizon for the Cascade Bicycle Club.

Specialized Globe eBikes are poised to be significant. And we haven't even seen what's behind the cactus yet. Why? Specialized is perhaps the most well-known bicycle brand on the planet. With name recognition like that, Specialized Globe bikes will become a formidable space in the mobility world. Keep in mind, of course, that this isn't Specialized's first foray into eBikes. The California company has been making performance eBikes for quite some time. But Specialized Globe marks a distinct departure from the performance rider. Instead, It's all about getting more people to replace car trips with bike trips. Saul Leiken is the global category leader for Specialized Globe. And his focus isn't on the high-performance athlete. It seems baked into the DNA of Specialized. But Leiken says the goal with Globe is to appeal to a broader audience. That audience is, well, just about everyone who drives a car. Specialized wants to replace the majority of car trips with eBike trips instead. Most car trips, says Leiken, are short. Yet it's more efficient, and often quicker, to simply hop on a bike. To appeal to those drivers who might want to ditch the car but are intimidated by the physical requirements, Specialized Globe will make a lot of sense. On top of that, Leiken says these bikes are designed for the budget-conscious consumer. Pricing hasn't been released yet. But Leiken says these eBikes shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. That's a big draw for consumers looking to add a transportation option to the stable rather than replace the car altogether.

PeopleForBikes Director of Enterprise Partnerships Ryan Birkicht thrives on messaging. It's fortunate, then, that his day job is to convince more companies to get people riding bikes and leaving the car behind. The message is a great one, as any cyclist can attest. But in today's Climate climate, it's also a vital message to save the future of our society, and our planet. No pressure, right? On this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast, Birkicht walks us through the process of getting your workplace set up with an incentive program. He also gives us a sense of the benefits, not only for employees who take on the challenge, but also the workplaces that provide it. Ultimately, PeopleForBikes is aiming to create a healthier world with the incentive program. And it's clear there's power in numbers. The program serves the dual function of getting more people on bikes, and with increased numbers comes increased influence. That could help PeopleForBikes advocate for better infrastructure in the United States. To learn more about the PeopleForBikes ride benefit programs specifically, check out enterprise.ridespot.org.

Kristi Mohn built herself an opportunity. A native of Emporia, Kansas, Mohn spent years developing relationships around town. She invested in her community with her time, energy, and intellect. So when the time came to develop a plan to bring more people to the tiny town in eastern Kansas, Mohn looked at the tools she already had. That's a big part of why everyone who discovers gravel bikes knows about Unbound Gravel. And that's a big part of why Emporia, Kansas has become the unofficial home of gravel. Mohn's influence and hard work made it so. Be sure to check out our other podcasts, videos, and live streams, and subscribe wherever you get our stories.

Like so many other gravel riders, Amy Charity started her cycling life on the road. The story seems almost templated: Charity discovered bikes, got so good she went pro, then retired and found fun off the pavement. Then Charity took it a step further. She used her professional business skills to start her own race. That happened after she experienced the joy of long gravel rides. More specifically, Amy Charity raced Unbound Gravel. That formative experience led her back home to Steamboat Springs, Colorado with a question on her mind. Why not here? Steamboat Springs already had vacation destination status. It stood to reason that a gravel race in one of the world's most beautiful places should be successful. That turned out to be very, very true. So Amy Charity co-founded SBT GRVL and brought a world-class race to the long and winding gravel roads in and around Steamboat Springs. The event experienced meteoric success and quickly became one of the top gravel races in the country. Charity attributes the success to a number of factors, including Steamboat's breathtaking beauty. But more than that, Amy Charity says the success of any event — especially one that draws as many women competitors as gravel races do — lies in the experience and the community around it. Indeed, the gravel community and its growth seems to be women-led. Charity joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to lend insight into the gravel world's unique growth with women at the helm. She also talks about what it takes to put on a successful event, and how SBT GRVL has impacted Charity's local community. Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik.

Matt Harvey, CEO and co-owner of Enduro Bearings, has been exploring the ins and outs of bearing design since 1996. In that time, Harvey has developed a clear notion of what makes a good bearing. A lot of it comes down to quality materials and a lot of care. Harvey joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to walk through what makes a good bearing. Of course, the bearing's specific application will often dictate what design works best, but most bearings do have several elements in common. Harvey pulls back the curtain on some of the decisions Enduro makes to ensure its products meet or exceed the demands of the end user. Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik.

Lizard Skins founder Brian Fruit knew how incredible DSP was going to be when he first saw it. This unique polymer felt incredibly soft to the touch, and it offered the grip he was looking for on his own bike. What Fruit didn't know was how big of an impact his Lizard Skins products would have, not only on the cycling industry, but in the sports world at large. Fruit's handlebar tape was unlike anything else on the market at the time. Cork tape ruled the roost, but Fruit wanted something with more cushion and grip. DSP offered both of those characteristics in spades, but it was also more expensive than cork tape. It was a gamble bringing Lizard Skins tape to market. The gambled paid off. As it turned out, lots of riders were after better grip and more cushion. And they were willing to pay a bit more to get it. Cyclists weren't the only athletes after something better. It happened quietly, but major league baseball players began using Lizard Skins tape on their baseball bats. Now the likes of Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, Brett Gardner, and other big leaguers wrap their lumber in a special wrap the company developed specifically for baseball use. And Fruit says that has taken the company to the next level. Since then, the company has expanded its business into other sports realms. It has even brought Lizard Skins to the gaming community, with grips specifically designed for video game controllers. It's a rare example of a company starting in the cycling world and branching out to find success in a broader market. Founder Brian Fruit joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about Lizard Skins' success both in and out of the bike world. Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik.

If you regularly ride knobby tires, you likely know the name Kitsbow. It has become synonymous with premium mountain bike clothing, and for good reason: Kitsbow's clothes offer plenty of function, but they are often so beautiful they border on show pieces. David Billstrom, CEO of Kitsbow, knows the brand is known for premium products. But he also wants us all to know why: Kitsbow's clothing is made by hand, when you order it, by employees that own the company. Kitsbow is indeed employee-owned, with each employee getting a stake in the business. It's unique within the bicycle industry, and while Kitsbow is still in the process of learning the employee-owned business model, it's clear that it comes with distinct advantages. Billstrom chats with Slow Guy on the Fast Ride host Dan Cavallari about the business model as well as Kitsbow's approach to creating its clothing — and the environmental responsibilities that come with it.

Phil Gaimon isn't good at retiring. Or, perhaps he's a bit too good at it. The former pro cyclist pedaled his way through some of the biggest races on top teams at the WorldTour level, but called it quits a few years ago. Problem is, he hasn't quit. Gaimon's YouTube channel chronicles his post-career pursuits, which include KOM-hunting, fun videos with pro cyclists (arm-wrestling with Toms Skujins, anyone?), and organizing his annual event, Phil's Cookie Fondo. Recently, Gaimon embarked on an adventure with Kiel Reijnen and Alex Howes, in which the two pros try to "Kill Phil" on tarmac and gravel over the course of a few days and a lot of miles. Gaimon recounts the journey on this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast. Gaimon also lends his perspective on what it takes to be a pro these days, and how social media gave him a second career after racing. Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik.

Eliza Sampey spends a lot of time in the woods alone. And she wants other women to know that they can do it, too. It can be intimidating to head off on adventures alone, but with the right preparation and a little bit of research, Sampey says traveling solo can be safe, fun, and relaxing. After countless backcountry trips, both domestic and international, Sampey has become an expert on solo travel as a woman. She knows what to look out for, how to set yourself up for camping success in the woods or in town, and how to get familiar with local customs before you head out. In the latter part of the show, Sampey also gives us an update on her recovery progress after a severe crash prevented her from getting back on the bike for an extended period of time. She talks about her concussion and its after-effects, and what she's doing to get herself back onto the bike and off on adventures. Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik.

Geoff Kabush has a unique perspective on what it means to be a pro cyclist. Not only has his career spanned more than two decades, it has also included three trips to the Olympics — not to mention four different cycling disciplines. Kabush joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to offer his take on how the job description of a pro cyclist has changed over the years, for better and for worse. While sponsorships have always been part of the game, social media has complicated matters for athletes looking to focus on winning podiums rather than likes. Kabush also recaps his thoughts on the burgeoning gravel race scene. Can the UCI actually make gravel racing better? Is gravel truly as inclusive as it purports to be?

What does a cyclist body look like? If you envisioned a rail-thin racer with shaved legs, you're not alone. While that body type tends to garner attention and even celebration in the bike world, most cyclists around the world don't look like that at all. Marley Blonsky has worked hard to normalize all body types on bikes. She calls herself a "Professional Fat Cyclist," a category into which a high percentage of American cyclists fit. And more importantly than that, Blonsky calls herself a "Body Positive Activist." That touches on an issue almost all of us face regardless of body size. Blonsky joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about her rapid ascent into Cyclist Influencer status and what that means to her. She also lends insight into how we can build a more body-positive cycling culture based on inclusion. "Don't 'Other' me," she says, and that's a message that transcends body size, race, color, gender, and even bike type.

Professional cyclist Shayna Powless and her fiancé, Buffalo Bills nose tackle Eli Ankou, started the Dreamcatcher Foundation to raise awareness of a pandemic of violence. All throughout the United States, frightening statistics regarding missing and murdered indigenous women continue to get little notice in mainstream media. Powless and Ankou both come from indigenous ancestry, and when they had the opportunity to build the Dreamcatcher Foundation not only to draw attention to the stories of missing and murdered indigenous women, but also to engage those communities through sports, it seemed like a no-brainer. Powless joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to explain what the Dreamcatcher Foundation does, how it came to be, and how an exceptionally effective photo shoot made Powless a prominent figure for justice and awareness within the cycling community.

Cycling media has consolidated drastically in the last few years, which means more and more quality voices have lost their platforms. It's a bold new world for media in general, and cycling media has not been spared; it's up to writers, editors, and publishers to adapt or die. On today's episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast, host Dan Cavallari joins Hong Quan, founder of Karmic Bikes and serial entrepreneur, as well as Joe Lindsey, a longtime freelance writer and contributor to Bicycling, Outside, and many other outlets. The two have opposing views on what the future of media can and should look like, as well as how we arrive at that new future. Quan's notion of democratization of media promises fewer gatekeepers and better content, but Lindsey warns that losses of platforms to amplify those voices means writers, editors, and other content creators are no longer left to do what they do best: create content, specialize in certain areas, and serve consumers. Give this episode a listen and be sure to let us know what you think the future of cycling media looks like. Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik.

Bike Club NFT has those now-ubiquitous three letters in its name: NFT. That might be enough to scare many readers off, but don't worry, it's not all as scary as it seems. NFTs seem to have swept into the mainstream overnight, yet the vast majority of us are still pretty unclear on what the heck an NFT is. NFT=non-fungible token. Clear as mud, right? Fortunately, Bike Club NFT's founder, Tyler Benedict (also the founder of Bikerumor.com) and primary artist Rich Mitchelson have clearer answers on what NFTs are, why you might want one, and what good they can do for the bike world.

Both Michael Pryde — founder of Chapter 2 Bikes in New Zealand — and Mike Yakubowicz — founder of Bridge Bikes in Canada — started bike businesses knowing full well that the big dogs rule the yard. Specialized, Giant, Trek, Cannondale...the big boys take up much of the floor space in bike shops, on the group rides, and in the pro peloton. So why start a bike business at all? What can a small, upstart company offer that the big dogs can't? On this episode of the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast, Chapter 2's Michael Pryde talks about what sets his boutique brand apart and how he approached positioning his business to offer customers something they couldn't find elsewhere. After the break, Mike Yakubowicz gives us the skinny on his new brand, Bridge Bikes, that has taken a new approach to the startup phase. Yakubowicz used investment funds to build a state of the art facility capable of producing the products he needed in-house. It's a new approach to an old idea: Start small to build the best product possible. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast! And of course, sign up for the newsletter at www.slowguyonthefastride.com.

Selene Yeager, AKA "The Fit Chick," has written for Bicycling Magazine for decades, has ghost-written several books for athletes, and has made herself an expert on "telling people how to exercise." Her life as been spent pursuing athletic feats and sharing her expertise with those who wish to do the same. When she reached menopause, she realized that, as a woman athlete, there were scarce resources available for how to approach this stage of life. So she started the "Hit Play, Not Pause" podcast to give fellow women athletes information they desperately needed to continue to perform athletically while balancing the physical, mental, and emotional loads that come hand in hand with menopause. As it turns out, Yeager's guidance for women athletes doesn't just work for menopausal women; these life lessons apply to men approaching middle age too. By cracking open a difficult conversation and speaking plainly about it, Yeager has uncovered tools that benefit any athlete as their bodies, minds, and emotions change.

Gloria Liu's Outside Magazine column recently tackled a topic near and dear to her heart: Her boyfriend, Dan Schwartz (also a writer for Outside Magazine and beyond). Both Gloria and Dan live for the outdoors — bikes, skiing, camping, you name it. That led them to their careers telling stories about the outdoor life, which is an inherently fascinating career. Yet on ski lifts last winter, the couple found the conversation turning to Dan's life in Silverton more often than not. Gloria often got left behind in the conversation, or ignored altogether. That led Gloria to explore why people found her boyfriend so fascinating simply because of where he lived — way up in the mountains of Colorado. On this episode, we discuss Gloria's piece in Outside (link below), and what she learned in the course of her research as to why such conversations transpire the way they do.
