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.

Mar 1601:08:35Tap to summarizeThis or That, and No Other. This week we’re just gonna play a fun little game that threatens to expose our weird preferences and wrong-headed ideas about what’s good and what is slightly less good. We hope it makes you shout at your internet radio, quit listening and go outdoors. Music pick of the week: […]

Mar 901:10:52Tap to summarizeWhat It Is About the Thing. We have a pretty specific set of stuff we really like to participate in, and if you’ve listened for the last 219 hours, then you’re crystal clear on what those things are. To be clear, other stuff might be good too. The list of stuff isn’t meant to be […]

Mar 201:06:16Tap to summarizeIt’s Raining Bowling Balls. Life, like the weather, is pretty unpredictable. And sometimes, no matter how ready you are, the feces strikes the fan. In those moments, what are you gonna do? No. Literally, what are you gonna do? Music pick of the week: Robot – The Olympians – In Search of a Revival Stevil […]

Feb 2301:04:54Tap to summarizeThe Shape of Self-Destructiveness to Come. To say that we are our own worst enemies is to discount the ignorant hatred roiling the world at the present moment, BUT we can only control what we can control, so instead of doom scrolling today we’re thinking about the reflexive, negative thought patterns that deny us the […]

Feb 1701:05:16Tap to summarizeJust Jibber Jabber. Sometimes you have a whole podcast planned, but then you get talking with your friend, and you keep talking, and one thing leads to another, and you blaze right through the ad break, and you still haven’t gotten to the topic you had planned to discuss and then it dawns on you […]

Feb 901:17:44Tap to summarizeDon’t Be Late for Arm Wrestling Practice. Sometimes you want to stay home all the time, and that’s ok, except that you end up missing things like arm wrestling practice, a rock show, a great ride or an amazing dumpster fire. You gotta live life with no regerts, except sometimes regerts are unavoidable. Music pick […]

Feb 201:08:40Tap to summarizeLanding on a Brand New Planet. You think your life is headed one way and then suddenly you’re doing something completely different. Maybe someone tells you something that leads to an epiphany, or you read a book that shifts your perspective, or someone introduces you to an activity that lights you up like a casino […]

Jan 2601:07:29Tap to summarizeTilting at Windmills. In 1605, the first edition of Don Quixote hit the shelves, or whatever humans were using to keep their books off the floor then. In it, the aforementioned knight saddles up and hits the dirt road in an attempt to bring back some measure of civic values and romance to his daily […]

Jan 1901:11:37Tap to summarizeIs This Good? This week we’re doing something different and hopefully upsetting. We’re going to talk about whether things that everybody seems to like are actually good or just products of a mass hysteria, the sort of feeling that leads to the Salem Witch Trials or the spread of casual fascism. Music pick of the […]

Jan 1201:10:46Tap to summarizeNew Year, Old You. 2025 was bullshit. I think we can all agree. It’s 2026 now, and it’s time to throw the old body over a railing and beat it like musty rug, maybe run it through the washing machine on the heavy-duty cycle in hot water with a half cup of bleach. You don’t […]
