It’s our Pre-Tour de France spectacular and all our bargain basement predictions must go! We have two exciting new segments this week, that we totally swear we will remember to do again. For sure this time. Promise. Tim had to leave early, so Spencer and Matt do the heavy lifting and close out the podcast…

Some times your hearts in the right place but maybe your pursuit is a little misguided? Maybe your kid BMX dreams are clouding your vision? Or maybe you’ve just got too many Klein’s to watch and not enough time? This week we also get the scoop on some upcoming special on-the-street reporting from Luke Warm; We…

This week we (Matt, actually) talk all about the Dauphine and how its amazing. Tim creates a new segment, and Spencer reveals his underrated champion. If you can’t get enough of us three, but also need real knowledge about bike history, you should check out the newest episode of the Pessimists Archive Podcast! Experience what may be…

This week we discuss the new and amazing (and softball joke opportunity-filled) race that is the Velon Hammer Series. Tim gets negative, Spencer keeps it posi-core and Matt respects Tim’s commitment to the joke. For better or worse. We discuss the biggest Rick move by a race promoter, and a new Fondo idea. Enjoy.  …

This week we wrap up our love affair with the Giro, eat some serious humble pie, and argue about the “rules”. Tim tells us who is out to ruin this MTB thing we are all so excited about trying, and Spencer has a new great sounding hair cut. Plus a hashtag. Check it out! We are…

This is a big episode, or at least it’s long. Or, at least it WAS long. You’ll see what we mean. Tim talks GFNY and badgers actual Campagnolo’s, Matt doesn’t go to a race because he’s cold and Spencer has a sweet cheat to start in the second group. We discuss things we’ve won and…

This week we talk about the Giro and velogames (where Tim makes a startling admission) and the Tour of California, before things get… weird. LittleGuy has some greenway stories and we do manage to define Manspreading The Bike as well, so all-in-all a productive show! Check it out! We are supported by Health IQ, a…

This week it’s 100% Giro and 0% Tim, and that is a win-win! Tim missed the episode due to some last minute travel, and Matt missed his velogames entry due to bad information gleaned from himself on this podcast. Yeah, it didn’t make sense to me either. Matt also had some new Bike Rack Stories,…

This week starts on a down beat, as the cycling world comes to grip with several recent tragic losses. The Slow Ride would like to pay our respects to those affected and our cycling family in general. In cycling news, the Giro is upon us and we couldn’t be more excited! We make some bad…

We did a lot of things this week, but maybe the most important was improving the age old game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. We talked about Amstel Gold quite a bit considering two of us didn’t even watch it. And finally, Tim geeked out about track racing, LG geeked out about Astana, and Spencer learned…
