The first stage of the 4 Days of Introduction. In addition to the opening theme, let this episode serve as the mission statement of the show. This episode gives a quick glimpse at when cycling was the most popular sport in Europe, and what serves as my inspiration as I set out on this podcasting project.

S1 Ep1: The Introduction: Stage 1 - When Cycling Was King

This Cycling Odysseys Podcast is an attempt to go back to when Cycling was King, the most popular sport in Europe.  This was accomplished in the first half of the 20th Century by newspapers and journalists who created vivid narrative accounts of the epic races and transformed the sport's greatest champions into legends. This podcast will try to channel cycling's epic and romantic traditions which seem to have been marginalized or lost in recent decades.
