Show 46 - Clothes make the Cyclist

The Cyclist Pod

Raya and Stephen go from judgy judgy to matchy matchy as we delve into the world of cyclist clobber.

From the practical, to the stylish, to the outlandish, our duo's chat is all wardrobe as cycling's most contentious industry is dived into. Not in any detail of course; the Pod isn't about journalism. It's about opinions that are at best guessed at and worst, wildly inaccurate.

Thankfully, we're joined on the Pod by cycling clothing supremo Pete from the Discerning Cyclist. He's got the low down on the clothing to not sweat in when you slow down. Can you be a stylish, succesful, and yet practical cyclist out of lycra? He thinks so.

On top of that the Pod goes off piste repeatedly, covering all the subjects from Raya's new bike's name (thanks to you the listeners!), when chocolate milkshake is not chocolate milkshake, and news on the Chase The Train Sportive. Yes, that's the Sportive we're organising, despite not having done any organising yet.

Finally, the Velominati socks it to the beardy weirdies. You're both welcome, and ostracised. Confused? Frank is full-on velonazi today, so brace yourself.
