Halfway Home A Bicycle Podcast

Frankie and I chat about her 3175km Cycle tour around Britain to interview older adventurous womxn to help plan the path for future Frankie.  All this on an ageing rigid MTB and a very wobbly start! Be sure to check out this inspirational soul and listen to her podcast series of interviews with these incredible Womxn. https://linktr.ee/frankie_dewar

I meet up with a good friend to find out about his role at the Hardie Park Cycle Hub in Stanford-Le-Hope in Essex, A place which is literally building community through Bicycles - turning around young lives and being a beacon of light for the local area...Does every town need a place like this? I suspect it might. We also sneak in a cheeky little ride around the area.

Alan and I meet at Cholesbury Cricket Club and get into chatting about pedal car racing (yes it can be serious)! The recumbent cycling lifestyle. What the Corona virus 'Lockdown' did to improve cycling in the UK. The British Human Power Club, Guy Martin, record attempts. Mike Burrows. The birth and growth of an informal cycling club through Facebook and so much more. Make your brew of choice sit and join us 'Halfway Home'. (there were some chaps working on the wicket and the audio does pick up abit of their work in the background at times, all part of the ambience of rural village life. 

Barry and I disappear down many rabbit holes in this episode, his custom built (by him) bespoke bike, recumbents, crank length (who decided 170 - 175mm would work for everyone)? and why commuting on an Ordinary (Penny Farthing) is the 'safe' option. Oh; and those British, European and World titles...It's a long ride, put your comfy shorts on and join us Halfway Home.

A meet up with Tim, recorded on the cricket pitch at Penn Street, Buckinhamshire. Tim and I chat about Bikepacking, what it means to Tim, why he dislikes the 'Wildcamping' name, and we get into his stove obsession.

On a very wet and grotty night, Adam meets me for a chat about our shared cycling history...I would not recommend winter pub rides to anyone...however they were amazing! (We are all a bit more grown up now). I hope you enjoy this chat.
