Half Wheelin' Podcast
Half-Wheeling is when the cyclist next to you, rides half a wheel length in front of you no matter the speed. Is it a dominance thing or a lack of etiquette? Maybe it's ignorance or arrogance? Perhaps that depends on the person. If you're an avid follower of Pro Cycling in all forms, a Club Crit winning aspirant, the rider chasing that segment KOM or just a Weekend Warrior, this could be the Podcast for you. Many cycling podcasts explore the nuances, the heroes, the characters and the beauty of the toughest sport on Earth. A lot of them take on a serious tone, intent on offering up their best...this podcast is not one of them. In fact, we'll deliberately stay away from clear thinking, opting instead for an 'educated bloke at the pub' level of wisdom. And who knows, maybe (surely?) deep truths will occasionally reveal themselves?

Watt Bombs and Breaking Cranks with Pro Cyclist Hugh Harvey
What would it take to go Pro these days? And what’s it like once you’re racing in Europe on the start of your journey? What’s a typical day like? Harder than being on the tools?
Well you asked and we delivered! (Well, Aidan did). He brought in Hugh Harvey, from the World Tour Arkea BnB Hotels development squad. The young Pro from Sydney, Australia, told us about things like:
- HIs winning start in racing, unique pathway into pro cycling, and eventful first UCI race
- His track record of blowing his equipment to pieces
- The differences between a junior European and Conti-World Tour teams
- Keys skills for European racing, when raw watts don’t help
- Advice for aspiring pro’s & what you’ve got to be able to cope with
- A day in the life & maintaining the love amidst the grind
- The unexpected quality that comes with racing at the top level
And of course we include a few other options on the menu:
- Aidan has a vent about Strava that actually turns into therapy
- The boys discuss their current riding, most brutal training sessions and those annoying riders who keep asking about your bike tech
So get it from the horse’s mouth, and giddy up!
