The Zero Lemon Podcast

Hello and welcome to 2021! For this first episode of the year I talk with Phil Spearman, Global Product Marketing Manager at Cervélo. Phil and I have had many, many phone calls recently (news on why in this podcast ironically) and I thought it would be great for us to have a chat about some of the things we have discussed. Phil is now in his 10th year at Cervélo and previously used to teach and work for another cycling super power, Shimano. Enjoy!

Episode 36 features the absolute legend and all round lovely Yewande Adesida. Yewie and I discuss one of those big cycling things in winter, weight training for cyclists. How can you get the best out of it and how can you use it to help make you stronger? With a background in rowing and weightlifting, Yewie helps to give a great insight into it. Enjoy! 

Every day in the United Kingdom, approximately 13 men die by suicide each day in the UK. That’s 91 a week.

At the end of November I descended Box Hill 91 times to the depth of the deepest and darkest point on the earth, the Mariana Trench, 11,034 meters. To help raise funds for Movember and awareness for men’s mental health and how important it is to check in.

This podcast is recorded once again with the awesome Emily from Attacus where we discuss what happened.

Ella Harris, the winner of the 2018 Zwift Academy, earned something most riders can only dream of: a professional cycling contract at leading women’s pro cycling team CANYON//SRAM.

The move to pro cycling saw Ella relocate thousands of miles away from her home in New Zealand to live in Girona, Spain with her new teammates as CANYON//SRAM’s newest rider.

Ella is a thoroughly awesome human who talks honestly and openly about everything we discussed in this podcast, from whether there should be a women's Tour De France to secret Peanut Butter hacks. 

Enjoy! 

I, probably like a lot of people have been thoroughly interested in CeramicSpeed and what they have done to the cycling industry in the last few years. Everything from the Driven bike to the oversized systems has truly caught my eye with interest. So I thought, this could be a great opportunity to talk top bike geekery and tacos with Paul Sollenberger. 

Enjoy! 

Let's talk about men's health. Here in this special episode going live on International Men's Day I talk with Oswin Croft from Movember about the incredible work that they do and how you can support your friends out there if they are having a tough time. Remember it's important to reach out. Movember have some incredible resources which you can find here:

Rich is and has been one of my favourite illustrators for years. My icon on most of my social media accounts, Rich drew. I have several of his prints and he is one of the nicest chaps going. Rich has worked with the likes of Rouleur Magazine, Bowman Cycles, Assos and superstar cyclists such as Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and Lizzie Deignan to name a few. He always says his creativity is fuelled by tea. This one was a truly enjoyable chat with one of my favourite people about all things cycling. 

For episode 30 I Speak with Andy Carr, founder of Spoon Customs and now CEO of WyndyMilla and Gun Control paint works about how life has been running a cycling company during COVID.

All podcasts are now also recorded as video pieces which you can watch over on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/chrishallrides

We also reveal a special bike we have been working on together which will be raffled off soon with all the money going 50/50 to The PACE Centre and Movember. 

The InternationElles cycling team brings together amateur female cyclists from around the world to take on one of the toughest cycling challenges on the planet and raise awareness for gender equality in cycling.

I've known Louise now for some years, we talk all about The Internationelles and what they carried out this year plus what the goals are going forward into 2021.

During the 107th edition of Le Tour De France I cycled 107 miles (minimum) every day across the UK to raise funds for The Pace Centre, a charity and school for kids with motor based disorders such as Cerebral Palsy.
