    Arguably the UK's most experienced bike tester Guy Kesteven has been reviewing bikes and kit for over 25 years but what motivates him to go on a ride for himself? Did he peak with James and the Giant Peach reference? Does he ever shut up?

    all these questions and more are answered in this podcast. Put the kettle on, put you feet up or sneak your earphones in at work and don't miss this one!

  • Episode 11 Path Less Pedalled's Russ Roca
    Jul 4 2023

    Russ Roca, along side his partner Laura run Path Less Pedalled, a website and youtube channel that is a refreshing change to most of the others. PLP is about riding for fun, not worrying about average speed or what you wear to ride in, but Russ can tell you more about that as I embark on my first trans atlantic podcast. Russ was on Montana and I was in Worcestershire, that will explain the sound issues we had. I hope those don't spoil the great chat I had with a true enthusiast for "real" cycling.

  • Episode 8: Chris Yeomans from Smithy Frameworks
    Apr 9 2023


    This episode I travelled across the border from England into Wales to chat with Chris Yeomans, main torch wielder at Smithy Frame works.

    Smithy Frames Works is a place to get a made to measure hand made bicycle. Chris contacted me to ask if he could build a gravel bike fit for all conditions that the UK could throw at it and asked for my input on the type of features it would need.

    Obviously it took me a micro second to say Yes please! and then i thought talking to Chris about what a customer could expect to experience in the bike build process and about the history of Smithy Frame works would be a good subject for the podcast. Chris agreed and the link below will let you listen to what went on on the day I spent in Powys.
