The Packfiller: Cycling Culture & Comedy

Sports EN ↓ 536 episodes

The cycling podcast for the rest of us. The Packfiller is your weekly escape into the hilarious, opinionated, and unfiltered world of cycling culture . Join host Pat Bulger for a mix of biting satire , deep-dive interviews with pro personalities, and the kind of honest bike talk you only hear on the group ride. We skip the dry race stats to focus on the lifestyle, the gear, and the absurdity of being a cyclist. Like a ride with friends (but one is an a-hole). Topics: Cycling Comedy, Bike Culture, Interviews, Road & Gravel.
