Searching for bike podcasts (slrpnk.net)

I realized recently that all of the podcasts I listen to are all about how shitty the world is getting. I need to find a podcast that injects joy into my life and am wondering if there are any podcasts out there that talk about bike stuff (keeping that description vague so I don't exclude something that I might not expect)

It's YouTube, but Shifter out of Calgary.

Check out The Wild ones podcast.

These guys have more of consumer approach to bike stuff than racing. There are news, gear reviews, overrated and underrated stuff, talks with bike mechanics...

If you follow road racing: Lanterne Rouge Cycling Podcast For trivia around technical advancements - also mostly racing related: Marginal Gains Podcast (sponsored by Silca)

I like one called "Bike Talk" as well as "The War on Cars" (more of an urbanism podcast, but very cycle focused".

Even though Bike Talk is based out of LA, and many of the stuff they talk about are focused on happenings in the LA area, I find the topics interesting enough to listen to (from Canada).

If you're looking for specific themes: touring, training, etc., there definitely are more focused podcasts.

I'll have to check out Bike Talk! I'm a HUGE war on cars fan, I donate to their patreon and have merch haha.

I also live in Canada so the fact that it still feels relevant to you is great.

If you are in a position to be able to pay for Escape Collective they have a whole bunch of podcasts, as well as incredible high quality written articles mostly focused on road riding and racing, but have other stuff too.

Look up Iain Treloar he had done some amazing investigative journalism into all kinds of things, such a great writer.

GCN probably, it's the popular one.
