What could be finer than to queue up a bunch of cycling podcasts, take out the tools, and tune up the bike? Well, maybe riding the bike would be better, but sooner or later you’ll need to do some maintenance, and the time will fly by if you listen to a podcast while you’re working. Here are my the ones I know about:
Bike to Work with Carlton Reid.
T-Chatter featuring Georgena Terry. Has a bit of an infomercial quality sometimes. Focused on women’s cycling, though not exclusively. The interview last fall with Richard Schwinn about trends in bicycle fabrication was great.
Bikescape, a Bay Area podcast that is mostly about transportation cycling and policy. The audio quality is variable, but the content can be quite informative.
Bike Show from Resonance FM, a very entertaining British podcast with interviews and stories about curious events like the Stonehenge Solstice ride. The presenter’s love of cycling is infectious.
The Fredcast is an encyclopedic podcast that covers all aspects from product recalls to racing to gear reviews. The Fredcast is well-produced and full of useful information.
The Spokesmen comes from David Bernstein, the fellow behind the Fredcast, but has a different focus. The Spokesmen is a roundtable with several commentators from the bicycle industry, sometimes including our own Fritz.
