The Taylor Zwift Fan Club

Today we demonstrate that not only is Michael's fancy microphone broken, that he doesn't remember anything once it's happened, but that we agree that Bikes Can Save The World. There is also a quiz about pasta (although it's not about pasta, it's PASTA) Today we interview Will Allen from Olive. Life is better, for us and the planet, when we do it on a bike. So Will and team...

Well, the clocks have gone forward here in the UK,  so we talk about Amstel Gold.  Michael chooses Remco and Femme (are they even in it?). Also: I didn't forget it was Paris Roubaix Honest. That's in the next episode. Today we go bubble bursting: we talk a lot about Autism and  ADHD, it's all my personal view on it - and hopefully, if you're listening to it you might get someth...

Michael is all excited about the Tour Of Flanders. Michael dreams of learning Dutch so Tim teaches him some. We hope that Friend Of The Podcast Rino and his fellow countrymates aren't upset by their pronunciation. Michael slightly loses control of language, time, and consciousness, and mentions Tom Boonen many times. Surprising about of cycling content, but don't fear listeners - we also...

I was watching Milan San Remo at the weekend, and wout popped up on my insta feed with a challenge that was too good not to accept. The Name Game by Visma & Lease a Bike (teamvismaleaseabike.com) So wout, how did we do?

In this episode, we talk about Pizzas, Fermenting, The Microbiome, Tim tells a world beating joke, and I get confused a lot. Will Michael choose some Cyclists who aren't in Milan San Remo as his top tip? Yes! "Tom Pidcock will not race Saturday’s Milan-San Remo due to a concussion, Ineos Grenadiers officials confirmed Wednesday." Ga!  I also double up and get confused about the wome...

Michael and Tim are back! Can they remember how to turn their mics on? Will Michael create an easier-to-follow Quiz? Can he go 5 minutes without mentioning Cyclocross?

Tim and Michael talk Cake, Yetis, Buddhism and chimp stockbrokers. It's classic TZFC - all the things that matter, and a lot of things that don't. Is Wout real? Why is Nairo a Geordie? Who knows. The yeti pod: BBC Sounds - Yeti - Available Episodes See you next time. PS - special prize if you spot the 3 transport noises we put into the edit. Ciao for now Tim and MP

Wrap up, get a lovely cup of Horlicks and listen to Tim and MP chat to each other about  a lot of things that don't really matter. I get all forgetful and repeat myself. Tim talks about TTing and falling off a lot. I realise driving is mad. I don't even mention Cyclocross. It's like one of those white noise playlists. And was that really Wout? Links mentioned in the pod: Geraint isn...

We got a bit philosophical and didn't talk much about cycling.
