Revolting

The Cycling Independent

Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and dwelling sometimes on what’s confusing. The guys are looking, and almost never finding, answers. But the fun is in the looking. This a cycling podcast for those not defined by racing, high-performance, or any performance at all really. It’s a podcast for people who just like to ride bikes, and do other stuff,

The Clown Car. This episode is about the bike industry. It draws in hordes of well-meaning rag-a-muffins, iconoclasts, and odd balls. There are smart people doing smart people things, and there are smart people doing dumb stuff too. The whole thing is a lurching mess of brilliance and stupidity, frustration and transcendence. Why is it […]

Today we discuss what you […]
