MTB Podcast x Worldwide Cyclery

Finding people that truly feel the way we do about bikes is not as easy as you may think. Everyone seems to think they eat, breathe, and sleep bikes but this is not always true. Finding this passion is our youth, and bikes have become almost religious to us and after talking with Jonathan and Steven over at the MTB Podcast, we knew they were just as big of bike nerds as we are. We are stoked to announce that we are the official title sponsor of the podcast moving forward. Only good things are to come from this partnership and we hope you are as excited as we are to see what comes from our work together over the next couple months. They will be dropping a new episode just about every week so keep an eye out for any new features to stay in the loop with the biggest news in the industry and go browse some of their older content! Tons of information just one click away!

Check out episode 50 of the podcast featuring Jeff Cayley, founder and CEO of Worldwide Cyclery.

For those who have never heard of MTB Podcast or don’t exactly know what it is, the MTB podcast covers all the latest news, racing, products, insider stories and more in the world of mountain biking. If it has to do with two wheels, no topic is off limits. Co-hosts Jonathan Lee and Steven Lewis draw from years of experience in the mountain biking world as enthusiasts and members of the industry to give you the info you need to know and the banter you want to hear. Jonathan's background as a nationally ranked XC racer, certified coach and host of the popular “Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast” brings a level of training and racing knowledge that is unprecedented. As a competitive enduro racer and professional mechanic, Steven is an expert on all things technical and mechanical in the world of mountain biking.

Jonathan and Steven had quite an interesting adventure last Friday. For many of you who do not know, they live in Reno, Nevada. That is about 486 miles away from our Shop in California. They set out on a day trip to come check out our home base, record episode 50 of the podcast and ride some bikes on our local trails. Their 50th episode features Jeff Cayley, the founder, and CEO of Worldwide Cyclery. They briefly go over what drove Jeff into starting Worldwide Cyclery and continue into some interesting topics from components designs to EWS race results.
