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,

This Is Your Life. This episode is slightly different than our normal meandering nonsense. Today we’re going to get to know each other via a single song and a single bike for every decade of our lives.

Manual Labor. This episode is about how punk rock a hard day’s work is, or actually it’s more about how manual labor shaped us and how it is fundamentally different than the work you do on the bike, even when bike work is often harder. Also, we decide, basically, whether it’s better to be a […]

Camping. This episode is about camping via bicycle, not necessarily bikepacking, with all sorts of gear, but maybe just riding out to a park or open space, making a little bivy or something, and falling asleep under the stars with a beer and a burrito. Do we go solo or bring friends? Yes!

Brushes with Greatness. This episode is about the people we’ve met or been near who are or were demonstrably better than us, both inside the bike business and outside it, and how they influenced us to be better versions of ourselves.

Courier Pigeons. This episode is about bike couriers, messengering, and the strangely outsized influence of a niche job on cycling culture.

Internet Friends. This episode is about people we know really well, but probably never met, because the internet made effort in friendships obsolete. There’s some pretty trenchant analysis of emotional bandwidth, connection, and creeping agoraphobia here. Also we consider whether it’d be better to eat a whole shark or a whole elephant.

Hot Jorts. This episode is about performance cycling wear, by which we mean, the clothing you like to perform in. We discuss sports-specific leotards and jorts, and whether the requirement for technical clothing is one more way cycling reinforces its exclusivity and limits its own growth.
