Revolting
Hosted by The Cycling Independent · EN
Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and dwelling sometimes on what’s confusing. The guys are looking, and almost never finding, answers. But the fun is in the looking. This a cycling podcast for those not defined by racing, high-performance, or any performance at all really. It’s a podcast for people who just like to ride bikes, and do other stuff, because it’s fun. Revolting is another fine production by The Cycling Independent.

5d ago01:03:30Tap to summarizeGetting to the Point. Guys, guys, guys, listen. We know we have a hard time getting to the point and sticking to the point and staying on schedule and remembering to breathe, but we have some strategies for doing a better job, and actually we’re not even sure doing a better job is worth that […]

2w ago01:16:19Tap to summarizeEating Crumpets with Emily Post. You know, you wouldn’t think a couple of guys like us thinks much about etiquette, but au contraire, we’re dedicated to getting along with most of the folks who are also dedicated to getting along with us, so we try to be considerate, polite even, and today we’re gonna try […]

3w ago01:12:13Tap to summarizeGetting Exactly What We Deserve. We complain a lot about getting old and our bodies falling apart, but we have systematically avoided all the precautionary steps one might take to mitigate the aforementioned problems. We didn’t wear enough pads or helmets. We didn’t use ear plugs. We didn’t wear the braces we were supposed to. […]

4w ago01:14:36Tap to summarizeSupport This Podcast Formative Filmography. The ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s were a time before streaming, when you had to mean to watch a movie. It didn’t just happen by accident. Back then, people could sit still for 2 whole hours at a time without checking their phones or hitting their vapes even once. We watched […]

Jun 1500:54:37Tap to summarizeSupport This Podcast Doomsday Prepping. As long as humanity has been new boot goofin’ around Planet Earth, we’ve been preparing for the end. Will it be an asteroid strike? Alien attack? Or will we just do the species-level equivalent of falling asleep with a lit cigarette? Questions like these sharpen the mind and help you […]

Jun 801:11:23Tap to summarizeSupport This Podcast The Pros and Cons of Being Alive. We’ve both been alive for more than half-a-century now, and that means we know stuff. We know what’s good about it, and we know what’s less good about it. For example, we know that there’s alien life in the universe and that it too wonders […]

Jun 101:17:23Tap to summarizeLightning Strikes Thrice. We’ve been doing a bad job of getting to the topic each week, which leaves you without the deep and wise words that you come here for. Instead of correcting our behavior and getting to work earlier in the podcast, we’re just going to give in to the ADD and spend the […]

May 2501:10:40Tap to summarizeThe Princesses and the Peas. Even on our best days we encounter annoyances, dumb little things that threaten to send us into a blind rage. A pebble in the shoe. An ingrown hair. Tax prep. The voices of other people. Dave Grohl in a documentary. If we could eliminate them all, would we just invent […]

May 1801:15:07Tap to summarizeStars Going Supernova. Even the stars in the sky flame out. They say the 50s are the new 30s, but in our 30s we could sleep and injuries still healed. In our experience the 50s might be the new 80s, where stuff breaks spontaneously and we give it all up to watch daytime news and […]

May 1101:10:23Tap to summarizeServing Size Equals None. The ‘80s represented a magical confluence of microwave cookery and our own voracious adolescences. Have you ever eaten a Subway 6” meatball sub in two bites? Have you ever eaten a sleeve of Thin Mints and noticed how much it leaves your mouth tasting like you just smoked a menthol cigarette? […]
