On the Smart Trainer, while cooking, on the train, while travelling and much more - podcasts are listened to everywhere. Bike people listen to bike podcasts, and so do we in the BIKE editorial team. Our selection of bike podcasts follows the motto: from cargo bikes to aero tuning. Podcasts from Antritt to Zwischen den Speichen illuminate the bicycle, cycling and everything around it from all sides.
A for start
The Antritt podcast has been around for more than eight years. All facets of cycling are discussed in Antritt, with sections such as "My bike is sick" and "Ringing at Klötzer's", as well as the "Ride of the month", always shedding light on very different aspects, bikes and people. And anyone who occasionally reads the TOUR magazine, our sister magazine for road bike fans, will stumble across the name Klötzer. We can confirm that the conclusion is correct, as test and technology editor Jens Klötzer can be heard regularly on the Antritt podcast.
