Unnamed RVA Bike Scene Podcast

Sean Yeager and myself love all things bike–from pro road races, to mountain biking to cyclocross. We love to see kids on bikes, infrastructure built to help more people bike and laws focused on bike (and pedestrian) safety. However, Sean is more knowledgeable about them than I am, which is perfect for this pod.

In this new podcast, under the umbrella of the Mechanics of Transportation, we’re going to cover all things biking in the Richmond, Virginia region — what races are coming up, what bike clinics are happening and a whole bunch of other stuff. 

In this inaugural episode, we talk about this week’s HenBIKEo 2025 bike festival, what people can expect; and we also dive into what cyclocross is all about. Sean also mentioned this bike wash kit. 

But first, we need your help in getting a name for this endeavor. Here are the ideas we have so far:

• RVA’s got Cyclocross 
• Cyclocross-RVA
• RVA BikeScene - (if it’s more general)
• RVA PodCross
• Get Crossed

Let us know your pick or suggest one yourself.
