Also, Frances makes a GLORIOUS RETURN to the show so we can discuss an incident with a misogynistic Masters racer (#notallmasters) shared recently on Twitter by Frank Cundiff. From there, we discuss how all of us can not just support women's bike racing, but how to help make cycling and riding a more friendly and welcoming space for women. We want people who find the sport to want to stay in the sport! So listen to learn how you can help make that happen.

Welcome to Volume 6! This month: why we're not that stoked on the Tour de France this year, plus a lot more besides. Maybe we do complain a little bit too much about the annoying things other people in bike races do. Closing music by Chris Norton.

Volume 5 is here! We try to talk about a few different things but mostly end up focused on what it means to try too hard. That's the good stuff. There's also a long meander through Greg's attempt at the Six Gaps route in Vermont, which is also pretty good, I guess. Brought to you by HealthIQ.
