Summer is here, and that can only mean one thing - Le Tour de France! This is our blockbuster edition lead-in to the Tour. We discuss the big picture of how we feel about the race and what it means, before covering the Big Four contenders for this year. And then we finally tackle a subject that always closely follows the Tour: doping. That would've been a depressing note to end on, so we pulled it out with a hearty thumbs up and a call for you to stay tuned for our Velogames Fantasy Tour de France Listener CONTEST!

A special live crossover episode that mattio recorded down at the local races with Andrew Thompson of the Super Number One Cycling podcast! Andrew and mattio discuss crashing, local racing and… food co-ops? This is a little different from our usual fare, but well worth a listen.

This week we are joined by elite racer and rad human Heidi Goodson to discuss the North Star Grand Prix (formerly the Nature Valley Grand Prix), and more specifically the lack of a women's field in the race. Also up for discussion are thoughts on race and payout equality and a proposal for tying payouts to field size. And of course, some of the usual silliness.

This week we have a sleepy episode as newly-relocated Greg and newly-minted Master of the Universe mattio ramble their way through a discussion of the silliest internet cycling debates. Also: riding road bikes on non-roads, sort of, and a Comparative Commuting Seminar.

This week, Greg and mattio share a gripe about and propose solutions for secret racers and surprise wheelsuckers. But that’s only the aperitif for a solid discussion and a little bit of ranting about Trek’s quick release recall, its implications and the problems with the humble but outmoded design of the quick release skewer.
