After weeks (months?) of teasing we finally begin our Bear talk but we still talk bikes on the front end. We chat about a new project we have in the works as well as a good bit of banter about Spinistry Chow. Big Pig Cancer Foundation: http://bigpigcancerfoundation.org/

We have an abrupt shift due to technical difficulties of some sort shortly after the one hour mark. As always, send comments to shiftlesslive@gmail.com Visit the Big Pig Cancer Foundation Here

In this episode we talk about Kevin's camping evolution, conspiracy theories, the apocalypse and other fun tangents.

Part two of Episode 20 wraps up our how did we get here review of previous episodes with corresponding updates. Somehow or another we go off on multiple tangents including Kevin's Cavendish conspiracy theory...oh, and aliens...

We definitely talk bikes during this one but Brad(ford) taking things next level grabs the spotlight during this edition. This one is just a Barrel of fun on so many levels! This one goes deep so it has been split into two episodes. Technically, Episodes 20 & 21 but consider this one Episode 20A and the next one will be B...or will be 20B...or something like that...

A bit of idiotic banter about the Tour and the latest iteration of the Sram Transmission. At Brad's prompting Kevin gives a rough outline of the Gravel Crits concept. Also, Brad may have just inspired the return of the original Spinistry format for an event. Thoughts, comments, concerns? Email us at shiftlesslive@gmail.com

This one should get folks stirred up. Feel free to give us grief via shiftlesslive@gmail.com

This year’s storm in the Flint Hills led to massive attrition, sparking a deep debate on the "Spirit of Gravel" and the controversy surrounding official vs. unofficial finishes.

In case anyone has/had any doubts...this episode proves that "Chef" is not just a nickname for Brad. The man knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Hey, it takes calories to ride bicycles so this episode is somewhat on topic. We break down one of Brad's (soon to be) world famous F.A.M. dinners course by course with a true peek behind the curtain. Seriously, don't listen to this o...

Playing with some new tech while we touch on almost every aspect of endurance cycling. Trust us, everyone can learn from Rich. He has so much to say that we had to turn this chat into two episodes! This one starts with the first minute or so of Episode 1 to cover the cliff hanger transition from the last episode.

In this "Expert Edition" of ShiftLess , Kevin Alan Lee and Chef Brad Greene sit down with the "Dirt Dominator" himself, Rich Waldschmidt. At 69 years old, Rich recently completed the grueling Hell of the North Texas , a 182.5-mile ultra endurance unpaved cycling masterpiece.

This episode is anything but laser focused. Brad's trip to New Orleans gets us chatting about the weather that somehow leads into shorts, chamois, saddles and the dreaded saddle sores discussion.

How do you survive 23 days on the bike when it rains for the entire first week? In this episode, Kevin and Brad sit down with Tour Divide veteran and "sincere bike geek" Tim Nipper .

Brad still has spring(s) on the mind and we try to comprehend the new Sram Transmission setup. We also have a good chat about the current state of bikepacking and what might become of gravel riding down the road.

We have an amazing conversation with James Wilson from Pedaling Innovations. Who would have thought talking about bicycle pedals would be so intriguing? Seriously, you want to listen to this one beginning to end. Come back to it if you need to pause along the way. Money back guarantee if you don't think it was worth it after the fact. James talks about flat vs. clipless pedals but more importa...

Spring has sprung, the birds are chirping and this year's Red River Riot is in the books. Listen for Chef Brad's secrets for that perfect fried chicken...

We are joined by Alex Gay from Ride With GPS. Alex jumps on board to teach us a thing or two as well as to chat about some upcoming features.

In this episode we give our completely non professional opinions on hammock sleeping, water filtration, calculating elevation gain and more! We've definitely discovered some topics where we need to bring in the experts to set us straight...

We're all over the place in this episode but definitely planting some seeds for future shows! Brad's audio was a bit rough on this one so he will have lots more to say in future episodes.
