This week, we dig into the vault for a recorded-but-unreleased episode recorded in late June, between the Tour de Suisse and Tour de France. We discuss Danny van Poppel's near-crash in Stage 4 in Switzerland, race course safety more generally, mattio's moving plans and the eight-fold way of releasing oneself from material possessions (which is to say, in racing bikes your expensive things will break, sometimes).

Honest Bicycle Program #63 - Hipster Race Name

By bike racers, for bike racers and really for anyone who loves to ride, The Honest Bicycle Program is where friends discuss cycling topics: silly, serious, ridiculous or practical. Come ride with us!

Professional

Sports & Recreation

Amateur

Outdoor

College & High School

Also, Frances makes a GLORIOUS RETURN to the show so we can discuss an incident with a misogynistic Masters racer (#notallmasters) shared recently on Twitter by Frank Cundiff. From there, we discuss how all of us can not just support women's bike racing, but how to help make cycling and riding a more friendly and welcoming space for women. We want people who find the sport to want to stay in the sport! So listen to learn how you can help make that happen.

HBP 2018 Volume 7

Welcome to Volume 6! This month: why we're not that stoked on the Tour de France this year, plus a lot more besides. Maybe we do complain a little bit too much about the annoying things other people in bike races do. Closing music by Chris Norton.

HBP 2018 Volume 6

Volume 5 is here! We try to talk about a few different things but mostly end up focused on what it means to try too hard. That's the good stuff. There's also a long meander through Greg's attempt at the Six Gaps route in Vermont, which is also pretty good, I guess. Brought to you by HealthIQ.
