The Paceline Cycling Podcast

This week John confesses that only now is he putting his money where his mouth has long been. He’s spending money on advocacy. Patrick has a question about waving, but not the one listeners might guess. Paceline PicksSportful Fiandre Knee WarmersGore C3 Gore-Tex Infinium Stretch Mid Gloves

Today we discuss the discussions that come before rides. Very meta. Then we get into whether or not it’s ok for bike riders to wear earbuds while riding. Are there any good scenarios? Are there any ways to do it responsibly. All that and Paceline Picks. Show Links:Whole Grain Oats & Oatmeal | Bob’s Red […]

Mindful that they are cyclists first and experts maybe, John and Patrick trade stories of cycling pratfalls, times they got it wrong and wound up, well, not on the bike anymore.

Patrick looks back at 2022 and considers ways the bike worked and didn’t work and he muddled his way through loss. Show […]

John wonders about our duty of care to other riders when we ride with them and how our perception of what etiquette calls for changes based on the tires we ride. Patrick rode with his local NICA team and can’t figure why all the kids were smiling even though it was cold and raining. Could […]

It’s a slight departure this week, with John doing the show solo. Don’t worry. This is not a permanent change. He’ll be running down his winter prep checklist for indoor and outdoor riding success and then hitting you with the customary Paceline Pick. Next week, we’ll be back to regular programming.
