In this week’s episode of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, Robyn and James are joined by Connie Carpenter-Phinney, who is 1984 became the first ever Olympic Women’s Road Race gold medal winner. Connie charts her career from 14 year-old winter Olympic speed skater to champion road cyclist, a sporting career which saw her win multiple national titles and dominate races such as the Coors Classic. Married to fellow American cyclist Davis Phinney, mother to ex-pro Taylor Phinney and mother-in-law to reigning Tour de France Femmes champ, Kasia Niewiadoma (Taylor’s wife), though Connie has long since retired she’s still very close to cycling, and here contrasts her experiences competing in 1980s with life on two wheels now, from her near non-existent racing budget to building her own wheels, burning out after the Olympics and watching her son race, including witnessing the horror crash that nearly cost him his life. An irrepressible spirit, Connie has no sporting regrets, and today puts her energy into the charity she founded after husband Davis was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s. The Davis Phinney Foundation aims to raise awareness, money, and crucially to provide support and resources to those living with, and caring for, people with Parkinson’s. 0:00 SloVelo Escapes 1:37 Introduction 3:00 Interview with Connie Carpenter-Phinney 1:09:14 Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by Dr Aron D’Souza, president of the Enhanced Games. Billed as ‘the ultimate demonstration of what the human body can do’, the Enhanced Games seeks in part to answer that age-old pub question, ‘What if athletes were allowed to dope, how much better would they be?’ It’s a divisive topic unlike any other in sport, but having secured funding – including from Donald Trump Jnr – D’Souza and his team are confident the first edition of the Enhanced Games will run within the next two years. Unlike the Olympics, athletes will be directly paid to participate and will receive bonuses for breaking records, and thus the edges of human limits will be smashed through. There’ll be input from pharmaceutical companies, profits will be recycled into the research of newer drugs to push boundaries ever further, and the trickle-down effect will be that one day, that drug you saw on TV that helped that 69-year-old woman run a sub-10 second 100m will be available to you. 0:00 Interview 1:42 Interview with Aron D'Souza 48:42 Discussing the Enhanced Games Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
In this week’s episode of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast James is joined by Phil Burt, former head of physiotherapy at British Cycling and Team Sky and the man who literally wrote the book on bike fit. They discuss micro adjusters and macro absorbers, how riders’ needs and wants are changing, and the affect of indoor cycling on the body. Phil also explains the theory behind the use of shorter cranks, the advantages, and how Bradley Wiggins was already on 165mm cranks at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

In this week’s episode of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, Robyn and Will are joined by ultracyclist Lael Wilcox, who set the world record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle in September 2024, cycling over 29,100km in 108 days, 12 hours and 12 minutes. Lael explains how to plan such a feat, the highs and lows of solitude on a bike, their fear, resilience and growth, and the unexpected emotional responses after achieving such a goal. 0:00 Collaboration with Trek 1:41 Introduction 2:46 Interview with Lael Wilcox 56:36 Final thoughts Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast James and Will are joined by Spartacus himself, Fabian Cancellara. Over a career spanning two decades, Cancellara established himself as arguably the greatest Classics rider and time-triallist of his generation, winning multiple Monuments, world, national and Olympic titles and Grand Tour stages. With a cool demeanour and effortless riding style, the Swiss cemented himself as the patron of the peloton, the guy everyone looked up to, listened to and wanted to impress. Today Cancellara owns ProTour team Tudor Pro Cycling, which this year raced its first Grand Tour as a wildcard at the Giro d’Italia, finishing a highly respectable tenth with Aussie rider Michael Storer. Among a sprawling conversation, Cancellara discusses why he never talks tactics with his own team; the importance of rider safety, especially in light of the death of would-have-been Tudor Pro rider, Gino Mäder; his rivalry with Tom Boonen; if and when Tudor Pro Cycling will race the Tour; the importance of failure – and where he hurt most; and the effect of social media on young riders and cycling. 0:00 Introduction 01:02 Interview with Fabian Cancellara 01:01:19 Will and James discuss Fabian Cancellara's career Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
