A Love Note to Cycling. Riding bikes doesn’t suck, no matter what Stevil says. And some people have real style and grace on the bike in a way that’s inspiring, and so today we’re going to talk about that. But we’re not going to say the things you think we’re gonna say, because otherwise why […]

The East Coast – West Coast Beef. This episode is about figuring out which of the Robot/Stevil autonomous units is the correct and original one by dissecting the quality of music, bikes, skateboards, weather and attitudes of their particular coasts. If there can be only one, then this episode should determine which of Robot or […]

The Top Five Ricks. This episode is about Rick Froberg. He was the best Rick. We’ll talk about who some of the other really good Ricks are or were, but really today we’re talking about Rick Froberg who passed away unexpectedly just a few days ago. He was the lead singer of bands like Drive […]

It Rubs Us the Wrong Way. We have some nice, expensive bike stuff and we have some cheap, functional bike stuff. It seems like no matter how carefully we curate our collection of stuff, we still get pains in our ass, chafing in unfortunate places, numbness and funny red marks in funny places. Today we’re […]

You Light Up My Life. We’ve talked about the things that inspire us before, but we were possibly less inspired when we did that than we are now. So, we’re going to talk about it again, and hopefully, in the process inspire you to check some of this stuff out with the idea that you […]

The Lightning Strikes Twice Round. Here we go again, another ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl, another slam fandango on the ADD magic carpet. Ten questions each. Ten rambling, nonsensical answers. This will either scratch an itch you didn’t know you had or leave you feeling itchy. Take the red pill. Take the blue pill. They’re all […]

The Times We Might Have Died. You know, a lot of times when we’re close to death, we have no idea. We only realize after. Today we’re talking about times we almost ate the ultimate shit, which may be sad or funny or both, but hopefully leaves us glad we’re still alive, if only to […]

How to Avoid the Bummer Life. Deep down you know you’re lame, and it’s because you sit around feeling sorry for yourself or get too wrapped up with trying to be a good adult, when you should be acting like a 12-year-old with a better bank account. This episode is about the ways you’re screwing […]

Is That Gravel in Your Shorts, Or Are You Just Glad to See Us. This episode is about gravel bikes. Oh yeah, a whole stupid show about bikes. We’re gonna talk about gravel as a category, what makes a great gravel bike, and we’re gonna take those things very seriously and not at all make […]

Walking on Sunshine with Amanda K. Bryan. For this episode we have with us agent of chaos, smiley villain, and all around stone cold homey, Amanda K. Bryan. If you’ve listened to the show for any length of time, you’ve heard Amanda’s name come up. Maybe you even listened to the episode she joined us […]

The Family Friendly Show. This week we’re talking about nice things, memories of childhood, benign and non-controversial ways to spend your time, BIKES!!, skateboards, and what’s good on TV. We’re sure it won’t be too boring, and hopefully neither of has a seizure trying not to swear. Music pick of the week Robot  – The […]

Singletrack for All with Ashley Duffus of Cosmic Dirt. For this episode we have with us cycling industry luminary Ashley Duffus who is the owner and prime mover behind the Cosmic Dirt apparel company, whose mission is to make clothing for EVERYBODY who wants to ride bikes, meaning in the widest range of sizes possible. […]

The Confidence Game. This week we’re talking about confidence and what it does to our riding, our skating, and our work generally, where it comes from, where it goes when it goes away, and how we get it back. Music pick of the week Robot  –  Devo – Q: Are we not men? A: We […]

The Fountain of Youth. Today we’re talking about bikes, skateboards and punk rock, which are the key ingredients in the elixir of eternal youth. If you don’t love these things, there’s a good chance you’re gonna die. Music pick of the week Robot  –  OFF! – Free LSD Stevil –  Mutoid Man – Helium Head

When You Lose Your Body, Your Mind Is Close Behind. Today’s topic comes to us from listener Oliver.  He says, “We all get injured doing what we like most. I am recovering from a broken ankle and waiting to get back on the bike, which is tough (as you know). What have you guys done […]

Not Everyone is Evil and Stupid. This episode is about our favorite companies in the bike industry. After we spent last week on a variety of rants about how terrible bikes and bike companies are, we’re back this week with sunshine and positivity and at least a fraction of the bike content that most of […]

The New and Improved Problem. This episode is about how a company can make a perfect thing, sell loads of them, get you well and truly hooked on them, and then for no reason we can figure out either decide to change them for the worse OR just get rid of them altogether. Music pick […]

This episode is about domestic dirt baggery. Despite outward appearances we are functional adults who are concerned for our nutrition, who enjoy cooking and eating, and who love good food as much as we love bad food. This week we’re going to talk about both of those things. Music pick of the week Robot  – […]

The Lightning Round. This episode is like a regular episode but more so. Normally we have a few questions written to keep us from wandering too far off topic. Today there’s no topic. Just questions. Random questions. And we’ll go back and forth with our questions until it’s time to quit. If your favorite part […]

The Million Dollar Question. This episode is about what we would do if someone gave us one million dollars to run our websites. This comes from a part of the Clown Car episode, two weeks back, where we spent like 45 minutes complaining about how the bike industry keeps us in relative poverty, but that […]

Yumming Someone Else’s Yucks. This episode is about the little things we like.  Maybe you don’t like ‘em. That’s ok. We’re not yucking other people’s yums  today. We’re yumming their yucks. We’re trying, for once, to keep it real positive. Music pick of the week Robot  – Lightning Bolt – Wonderful Rainbow Stevil – High […]

The Clown Car. This episode is about the bike industry. It draws in hordes of well-meaning rag-a-muffins, iconoclasts, and odd balls. There are smart people doing smart people things, and there are smart people doing dumb stuff too. The whole thing is a lurching mess of brilliance and stupidity, frustration and transcendence. Why is it […]

How the Magic Happens. This episode is about the creative process. We both do things that don’t pay well. Given the choice to do something else, even hypothetically, we would both probably just stick to doing what we do. Today we’re going to talk about why, and specifically what about the process of our work […]

True Sexy Crime. This episode is all about clicks. The whole world loves true crimes and sex, so we’re gonna stop doing high art and just give the people what they want for a change. We discuss the crimes that have been done to us, and the ones we’ve done to other people. Music picks […]

Losing It. This episode is about losing things. What physical thing do you find yourself searching for, late at night, the most?  Not your keys. We’re talking about that late night obsessive search to find a messenger bag you know you owned 20 years ago and suddenly must find, or a bike part that you stuck somewhere […]
