Love her industry interviews , but she engages in way too much partisan politics . Amazing how we can’t just stick to cycling which is a topic all of her listeners download her podcast for . I honestly wish there was someone who was capable in cycling podcast space of doing this. As such I have no further use for this podcast

At every opportunity the host injects her politics. I’m just tired of it.

It is hard to find a solid, general interest bike podcast. I’ve learned about several large rides, tourist events, books, movies and tours thanks to Diane. Even found the right company to build my custom bike (Seven). What a wealth of knowledge from Diane - and even some racing or advocacy (which seems to dominate too many other podcasts). Thank heavens for The Outspoken Cyclist

Diane is an excellent spokesperson for the industry and educator of all things bike-related. From bike equipement, to events, trends, safety, advocacy, you name it! There is no limit to the bredth of her topics and experts. Anyone who cares about cycling for sport, recreation, or transport should tune in.

Recently discovered this podcast and have been enjoying the archive. Great production values.

Diane Jenks is a great interviewer. Has owned a high-end bicycle shop and knows plenty about the business.

Interesting and varied cycling news and discussion. The host covers cycling from all angles, including fitness, gear, lifestyle and sport.

What a great podcast. I listen to this show every Monday morning on my way in to work. My favorite part is when we get to hear the interviews from the old and new frame builders. Keep up the good work.

An awesome cycling podcast with tons of great interviews and information. Always entertaining!

While this podcast is focused on cycling, it isn't just for "serious" cyclists. Casual cyclists and commuters will find it interesting. Lots of information on safety, traffic, urban design, health, nutrition, fitness, you name it. I sometimes lose interest in the interviews around the major bike shows (frame design isn't my thing), but most of it is really interesting. Diane is a great interviewer.

Thanks

When I start with a new batch of podcasts every week, this is ALWAYS the first one. Diane is entertaining and her guests are interesting and they span quite a range of the cycling culture.

This is a well orchestrated show. The show’s “start" and her co-host have a good verbal cadence, unlike some podcasts that might have decent content but lack good verbal communication skills. (Let’s face it… not everyone can sound like a professional broadcaster. I know I certainly couldn’t do it…) I especially enjoy this show as it tackles the many flavors of bicycling - not just one particular niche or style. Thank you for the great job you’re doing!

I just found this and love the wide range of interviews and effort to serve all cyclists!! Thanks

I like what you talk about and how you talk about it. Because bicycles. My only love would be if this coincided with content on your website, such as free stuff and contests. Maybe also let callers call in and ask things to your guests. Because bicycles.

So stoked to have found this podcast. The guest interviews are great and super informative. I appreciate the breadth of the conversations with guests from throughout the bicycle industry and culture. Diane Lees has been associated with the bike community for many years and her experiences and expertise come through with insightful commentary and connected conversations with her guests. If you love cycling don’t miss this podcast!

They can get interesting people for interviews, but the show can be quite unmotivating, as it seems to have an steady urge to mention / report bicycle related fatalities. Don't listen to as you get ready to head out for a ride, as it will totally deflate all / most of your enthusiasm.

it's time to move on from Lance. His name comes up on the show on a regular basis, as if the host was personally harmed by him. We get it: he was dirty. But I don't think it's "journalism" to keep interviewing people saying the same thing. Find another topic. If you listen long enough, you'll hear the same 5 or 6 basic topics (women in cycling, distance/ultra cycling etc) repeat. A little more variation would be great.

I look forward to listening to this podcast every Monday.

Love the show! Keep up the good work!
