Simply Bicycles. For those who are passionate about anything and everything bicycles and cycling. Brad and Kevin ask the questions that usually matter (but often times really don't) and whenever possible bring in the experts to sort out their confusion. They're just a couple of chuckleheads easily distracted by shiny objects who need things explained to them like they are well developed toddlers. If you've forgotten how to have fun with bicycles then this show isn't for you. Our shows lean towards gravel, bikepacking, mountain biking and other adventure formats but anything can happen.
