Ep 492 Paris Mountain Jul 30, 2024

This week we all have Olympic fever. Unfortunately, Tims fever is making him mad (again) that we don't have downhill or the kilo in the Olympics. But we do enjoy the racing we have and read some hilarious emails.

Sunday Stroll: Annual American Flyers Rewatch Jul 04, 2024

It's the American 4th of July again, and that can only mean one thing: Tradition.

It's time for our annual re-watch and discussion about American Flyers, the 1985 cycling classic staring Kevin Costner, David Grant, Rae Dawn Chong, Alexandra Paul and everyone's favorite cycling baddie Luca Bercovici. Let's hurt a little.
