The Honest Bicycle Program Tour de France sprint cast spectacular continues! Two weeks into La Grande Boucle, we give our highlights and lowlights (mostly highlights) of the race so far, and then peer into our crystal ball to predict the future. Takes are lukewarm, so don't worry you won't get burned. We saved the HOT HOT TAKES for our discussion of  the Team USA women's road race and men's track team selections for the Rio Olympics. Which are coming up soon, holy cow! Also, mattio beat Bobby Lea in a bike race, and Greg has Strong But Confused Feelings about Olympic politics. The Honest Bicycle Program is brought to you this week by Michelin Bicycle, USA.

Honest Bicycle Program #62 - La Hollandaise

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.
