The Paceline Cycling Podcast
The Cycling Independent
The Paceline is a cycling podcast aimed at roadies, mountain bikers, commuters, cyclocross enthusiasts, those who grind gravel—indeed anyone who claims cycling for their own. The bicycle is more than a thing, it’s an issue. The Paceline also discusses the bike’s place in society. The hosts love bike gear so expect some banter about what works and what does not on the road and trail. The podcast on two wheels. No training wheels needed. The Paceline is hosted Patrick Brady and John Lewis, and is a production by The Cycling Independent.

#52: Toby Stanton of Hot Tubes, Part I
I first met Toby Stanton at a mountain bike race in 1991. He was coaching a team that included future cyclocross supahstah (this was in Massachusetts, mind you) Jonathan Page and their kits were white with red, yellow and blue dots, signifying their sponsorship by Wonder Bread. A year or…

#173: Bicycling Magazine Fall Classic, Arthritis Foundation Ride
Selene and Patrick have been away riding. For Selene, last weekend was the nearly annual Bicycling Magazine Fall Classic. Unfortunately, even in organized rides, things don’t always go according to plan. Or the advertising. So what do you do when the aid stations don’t provide enough aid? Patrick spent eight…

#172: weight loss, new treatment for depression
This week Selene takes on weight loss once again. She addresses the problems with seeing that as necessary as well as seeing cycling as a vehicle for it, rather than an end in itself. And yet, she still accepts that it is an important goal to many people and she’s…

#170: 'Cross is coming, when to buy your new bike
We’ve gone from “‘cross is coming,” to “‘cross is here.” In a fair number of locations around the country, the season’s first cyclocross races were held last weekend. Selene is excited for her local series to start. Are you ready? With fall right around the corner, or more unofficially, it’s…
