  • Buying A Bike…How Hard Can It Be?
    Buying a bike is simple, right? We know it can be a much more complicated purchase than it may seem. You just walk into the store, find the prettiest one, and pull out your credit card, right? We'll walk you through how to make the important decisions.

    * What type of bike? Gravel, endurance, racing
    * What components do I want? Shimano, Sram, Campagnolo, Electronic
    * The debate that makes friends stop talking to each other: Rim or Disc Brake?
    * What frame material? How much do I want to lighten my wallet?
    * Other considerations?
    * What extra's will I need?

    What recommendations do Nick and Andrew have for the first bike you should buy?

    For this week's dream bike, Andrew shows that you don't need to take out a second mortgage to get a quality road bike. Meet the Giant Contend AR3. For $1,300 USD, we feel this packs a serious punch for the money.

  • A Little About 53/39






    Welcome to 53/ 39. There's a lot of new listeners. So I figured I would take some time to explain our podcast just so you don't have to listen to episode one.

    My name is Andrew and along with Nick, we are average cyclists.

    While we enjoy many of the existing cycling content outlets ranging from mammoth to small. We recognize there's a void. That void, is focused on the average cyclist. We get it. We want to ride a $12,000 bike who doesn't, but those bikes, aren't the people we ride with. They're not the people that we see on the roads and they're not the people in the trails and let's face it if you have a $12,000. You're not worried about trying to find the best disc brake for your bike at the best price. we're here to kind of fill that void and talk to you as a cyclist.

    we're looking to be the cycling podcast that you would listen to because we are average, right? We aren't former pros nor do we ride with any of them. We admire their abilities and certainly we are envious at times.

    We recognize that they demand a lot more from their than we do marginal gains, which means the world to them only appears as a second mortgage.

    Nick and I love cycling. It's a massive part of our life and we're average in every single way. We're just looking to improve ourselves in both mind and body, but we also bike for our own. We want to speak to people just like us.

    People who enjoy spending the pedals, who recognize as many benefits from it ranging from physical to mental or to simply being outdoors and spending time with friends.

    We aim to be conversational with how we present our guests and our regular content. We want to bring you fun and enjoyable stuff from the bike community.

    So if you don't have a bike community nearby, We want to be that for you.

    I hope you enjoy our podcast. If you continue to listen, feel free to review us on social media or where you download your podcasts. Also, you can support us on Patrion. The links are on our website at 5339cycling.com. Or you can find it in the description below hammer on.

  • Meet Joe Apgar: President of Pelotonia
    A Little About Joe Apgar
    Joe was recently named President of Pelotonia. Joe is responsible for developing and overseeing all efforts to increase awareness of, participation in, and support for the Pelotonia movement, as well as ensuring the strategic and responsible utilization of Pelotonia funds. He has been with the organization since 2016. As a cancer survivor himself, he knows as well as anyone the impact of Pelotonia.

    Learn his full story here.
    A Litte About Pelotonia
    Pelotonia started as an idea. A ride. A weekend. To make a difference. To make an impact.
    But we know, Pelotonia was never just about the Ride. It's always been about setting and achieving an ambitious goal, and raising critical funds to fight a disease that impacts us all. And that's exactly what we'll do again this year. And the year after that.

    Pelotonia is embarking on its 13th year. The organization blew past all initial goals and forecasts in the first year and hasn't looked back since. At the time of recording, $223 Million has been raised for cancer research. In this episode, we find out, in Joe's own words, what makes Pelotonia unique.

  • Meet Trace Velo; A.K.A. Luke
    A Little About Luke
    He loves cycling, and loves getting pro cycling kit for less. If it’s cheap, from China, and made of carbon fiber, he's interested!

    Road cycling can be an expensive hobby, and the barrier to entry for good quality cycling gear can be exceptionally high. His whole ethos is to get pro-level cycling gear on the cheap, and show that you don't have to have to spend extortionate amounts to get some fantastic kit!
