In this special episode of The Domestiques, Mike Tomalaris speaks candidly with the CEO of Bicycle NSW, Peter McLean to discuss the issue of e-bikes.

While the growth of the pedal assisted two wheelers are encouraged it’s the rapid rise of the illegal machines that is of great concern.

The e-bike revolution is a national hot topic.

Are they a scourge on society or does the electric powered machine actually provide some benefits?

When Chris Harper crossed the finish line triumphant in the Giro’s Queen stage, Australia’s cycling community rode on the back of his shoulders. The Domestiques is privileged to have the toast of Aussie cycling as special guest in this week’s episode. How did he do it? What were the tactics? How significant is the result to his career? And does Harper have ambitions of chasing the General Classification at future Grand Tours? This episode is one to savour as the team reflects on one of the most memorable Giro’s in recent memory.

A very moving interview with an Australian cycling hero on The Domestiques this week.

Matt Lloyd’s career was prematurely cut down when he was struck by a car in the USA.

It left him with a brain disorder.

A condition which has affected his life to this day.

After being crowned Australian road race national champion in 2008 and conquering the Mountains Classification at the 2010 Giro, Matty was regarded as one of cycling’s great climbers.

Listen to his amazing story of survival and his openness to share his struggle.

This is a must-listen to interview with one of Aussie cycling’s quiet achievers as the Giro enters its final week.
