WHBP #30 - North Star

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.

WHBP #27 - It's Not More Complicated But It Is Stupid

WHBP #26 - I Come Not to Praise The Quick Release But to Bury It

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.
