There is a saying that sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees.

Translation: In this crazy world, where we spin around the cities and communities where we live at brake neck speeds, we forget to stop and look around and take into account what we take advantage of.

So what better way to do this than on a bike.

Today’s guest, joining us from, Denmark, is Oliver Andersen – the Urban Bicycle Explorer. 

His goal is to inspire people all around the globe to bike and use it as a tool for exploration and pleasure in their life. What a great idea.

When most people think of a multi-day bike tour they might consider doing it in places like the Napa Valley, Croatia or maybe even The French Alps. But not today’s guest.

Martin Eberlen decided to ride 1,600 miles from the City of Stanley, North Dakota where the Dakota Access Pipeline begins through to its end in Patoka, Illinois.

This controversial pipeline transports 470,000 barrels of crude oil a day across four states.

The end result of his ride is a book called Our Land and (S)oil.

The book is not only a graphic depiction of the impact the pipeline has had on the people and countryside but also an observation of the culture of America’s Mid-West.

The Diva from Down Under is how Rapha describes today’s guest. 

Tiffany Cromwell is one of the World’s most accomplished female road riders having lived her stellar career racing in some of the most illustrious events on pro cycling’s calendar.

Currently racing for Team Canyon-SRAM she calls Adelaide Australia her home, but spends a lot of her time racing and training on the roads of Europe.

In the off season, Tiffany likes to relax with running marathons, mountain bike racing, boxercise and rowing.

So, I dare you, tell Tiffany she runs like a girl. My guess is that she’d take it as a badge of honour and beat you to a pulp in whatever athletic and aerobic challenge you throw her way.

There is a place where you can ride your bike that’s a cross between the French Alps and Hawaii. It rarely rains. It never really gets dark. It is never cold. It is never windy. There are no cars. You can always find friends from all over the world to ride with, or you can choose to ride by yourself. There are butterflies and Sloths and Mountain Goats and 1,000 foot waterfalls and you can ride through a volcano. Sound too good to be true, or maybe that I’ve been imbibing in too much of Colorado’s finest weed? Well, it’s all true, but I am missing out one really important fact. All this happens on a stationary trainer and, in my case, in my basement.

Behold – Zwift. A new Verb added to the Oxford English Dictionary – To Zwift.

Joining me today is Scott Barger, Zwift’s Co founder and Head of Member experience.
