The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast

Cade Media

Summary

Join Francis, Jimmi, and producer Emily for The Wild Ones, a weekly deep dive into the fast-moving world of cycling. If you are tired of the polished, corporate side of the bike industry, this is your home for candid, unfiltered takes. Whether they are breaking down the latest engineering marvels from the pro peloton, debating the absurd price points of modern superbikes, or calling out questionable industry trends, the team pulls no punches. Each episode blends sharp industry analysis with the realities of being a cyclist today. From tracking the rise of emerging manufacturers to discussing the logistical nightmares of bike theft and road safety, the show keeps you informed without losing its sense of humor. You will also hear from inspiring guests, including record-breaking ultra-cyclists, as well as the hosts' own misadventures on two wheels. The Wild Ones isn’t just about specs and stats; it is a community-driven show that prioritizes the listener experience. Expect spirited debates on bike aesthetics, DIY hacks, and critiques of how legacy brands are serving—or failing—their riders. It is a show for those who love the sport but aren’t afraid to point out when the industry gets it wrong. Grab your kit, tune in, and join the conversation as we navigate the good, the bad, and the truly bizarre sides of cycling.
