The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast

In a lively Q&A, the hosts reveal their personal bike collections, from road to gravel bikes. They tackle listener questions about bike modifications and gear essentials. Tips for group riding safety and etiquette make the discussion insightful. A humorous debate breaks out over tan wall versus black wall tires. The team also weighs in on the overrated or underrated value of various biking gear, like hybrid bikes and custom builds, adding a fun twist to cycling preferences and experiences.
