What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Every bike podcasts tries to sell themselves as "a couple of friends chatting about bikes" and most feel forced, boring, chaotic, or try hard. This one legitimately reminds me of the conversations me and my riding buddies have. Good stuff and a fun listen.

I really enjoy these guys. People I remember reading back in the days of slick print magazines I had to wait for each month to show up at my book shop here in the US. I’d buy PB and Bike then read them carefully cover to cover. These podcasts are the same. Crazy, fast moving, fun and funny. Thoughtful even. Great fun. Always make me want to dig the old bike out and go wheelie somewhere. Cheers!

Love the podcast. You both make it seem easy, which would indicate the preparedness you do behind the scenes. Always enjoy hearing of older bikes, which immediately leads to a internet search. Thanks, keep up the conversations.

RioRedDragon · Apr 2022

This show is like having beers in your garage with a bunch of your riding buddies, if your riding buddies knew a metric ton of information on racing, riding and gear. Really well researched and produced. Top notch.
