    So you want to take care of your bicycle
    2026/09/08

    Steve answers bike care questions from listeners including how to clean a non-waxed chain, what's the deal with all the gunk that gets stuck in jockey wheels, and what to do when your brakes start to squeal. He and Kristin also share why it's advised (and in some states, required) to wear safety or "blaze" orange in the woods during hunting season.

    So you want your kids to ride bikes
    2026/08/25

    Before our son left for his new job in Chicago, we sat down with him and his sister to answer the question "how do I get my kids to ride a bike?" On this photo-heavy edition we share memories and reflect on lessons learned through years of riding and racing.

    Thank you Anders and Sophie for sharing your insights and ideas - and letting us use pictures from the past!

    We'd love to hear how you are getting your kids to ride – leave a voicemail on the "Fan Mail" link in each episode or a comment at CyclingTogether.bike.

    With gravel riding continuing to grow in popularity, we have also seen an increase in gravel bike options and gear, as well as questions from the "gravel curious." Fresh off an gravel adventure ride with their daughter, Steve and Kristin cover many of the basics including what is gravel riding, what bike and gear you need (or don't), important riding skills and, how to find places to ride.

    They also discuss Steve's new weekday schedule, and answer a question about what recovery tools you need when on the bike.

  • Why your wife (still) needs the better bike

    Why your wife (still) needs the better bike
    2026/06/09

    While Kristin and Steve take a short podcasting break, we are throwing it back to one of our favorite episodes from the past year...

    Kristin and Steve hold a mirror up to Steve’s own bicycle purchasing decisions as they discuss something they’ve observed in the Shop – riders who have really (really) nice bicycles and gear, who may not spend quite as much on their partner’s bike.

    What may seem like “rational thinking” can often lead to a spouse or partner failing to embrace cycling, or giving up quickly, due to discomfort, discouragement and failed expectations. Using personal experience, they discuss how a “better” bike or components can lead to a better experience and, hopefully, a happier rider.

    They also share their experience at Raid Rockingham, Steve’s first impressions of Kristin’s new BC40 (speaking of better bikes); Shimano’s new wireless XTR Di2 drivetrain and while answering a viewer a question about chain lube on new chains, also discuss chain wax.

  • So you want to buy a used bicycle

    So you want to buy a used bicycle
    2026/05/26

    As an experienced bike shop owner once told us - everyone rides a used bike!

    Steve and Kristin discuss what to look for (or look out for) when purchasing a pre-owned road or mountain bike, with a special focus on the things that are most expensive to replace, and how to know how much is "too much" to repair a used bicycle. Kristin even surprises Steve with a few real marketplace listings for evaluation and explanation.

    Also in this episode... Kristin also shares how a podcast from the Women's MTB Network on bike fit for women has swayed her on the need for women's specific saddles, they discuss why you should replace your helmet ever 3 to 5 years, Steve explains Shimano Cues and Microshift components, and they share news about the 5th year of the Shop's summer MTB ride series for women.
