Cycling Matters Podcast

In this episode of the Cycling Matters Podcast we are all about Strava. We talk about how Strava is actually useful even if you’re not on the “enthusiast, fitness, and competition” end of the cyclist spectrum. Then we ask ourselves the more fun and contentious questions especially with segments and KOMs!

In this episode of the Cycling Matters Podcast, we are joined by our guest who is also known as the Bald Trekker! We will talk about blogging and content creation in the cycling community, Ger’s dreams as the Bald Trekker, and also what he thinks about the Filipino cycling culture!

In this episode, we discuss why cyclists wear lycra, the kind of outfits we wear when bike commuting, and the age old question about wearing underwear in your cycling shorts.

In this episode, we start a discussion on the experiences of women who cycle in the Philippines. We ask a few of our women friends why they ride and what they think are the unique aspects, both good and bad, of cycling as a woman in the Philippines.

In this episode, we talk about bike commuting in Metro Manila. We’ll talk about what works and what doesn’t, our best and worst bike commuting days, our wishlist for a bike friendlier Metro Manila, and why the bike is the solution for many of our transport issues!

In our first episode, we introduce ourselves and why we’re starting a podcast! Then we talk to Ciclo about the market for homegrown cycling apparel. We ask Chaz and Jangan about the history of their company, the unique quirks of designing and marketing to the Filipino cyclist, the challenges of growing a local brand, and what we can hope to expect from the homegrown cycling apparel industry in the future.

Cycling Matters is many things. We are a happy collective of cyclists who have gotten tired of just waiting and ranting about how unhappy our local biking conditions can be. And we are also an experiment in pushing for positive change through the insightful reporting of cycling news, the production of accessible educational content, and the celebration of Filipino cycling culture.
