Ian talks birds birds birds with a very special guest and Colin takes a long-awaited vow of silence. 

If YOU have any bird or bike questions that you'd like to hear answered on the next podcast  reach out to [email protected] or shoot a DM on instagram to @ridinbirdypodcast; or if you want to tell Colin McDonough he talks too much, shoot him a DM directly to @Eggbertwaxman, maybe he'll let you pick his brain as an apology.

We talk about what may be the lightest production bicycle of all time, tell you about insensitivity from an industry giant's CEO, Andrew asks about some birds that can't fly, and we touch more on keeping active during the cold season.

If YOU have any bird or bike questions that you'd like to hear answered on the next podcast don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected] or shoot a DM on instagram to @ridinbirdypodcast; or if you want to tell Colin McDonough he talks to much, shoot him a DM directly to @Eggbertwaxman, maybe he'll give you some free stickers as an apology.

If you want any sort of substance from this you should only listen to the last 5 or so minutes for some bird info. The rest is useless. Please enjoy :) lol

Had a talk with Andrew, a bike technician and bike lover.

Reach out for stickers or any questions you may have!

Shop Colin and I sit down and talk about wheels and how they can make or break the riding experience of a bicycle. 

There is bird stuff too! Enjoy!

This episode is a shallow dive into diversity, or lack of it, in cycling. And, how i think that can change. Thanks for listening!

This week I recap my first ever century with my good friend Shop Colin. We talk through what I experienced on my ride, what I saw, and how I felt.

We also talk a very short bit about the current state of the world, after the murder of George Floyd, and countless other Black Americans. Next week, I will delve into this even more after 2 weeks of researching and trying to get interviews.

If you would like to donate to a cycling challenge raising money for two DC Non-profits, One DC and the Advancement Project. Please donate if you can, we are collectively riding one mile per dollar donated and are already over $1200!
