Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

109 Alexey Vermeulen & Lani Benson Talk Gravel Gear Up 1:04:26

24 дні тому1:04:26

1:04:26

Hey BikeRumor Fans - Welcome to Episode 109! Ep - 109: Gravel, gear, and getting to the start line. Jordan sits down with professional gravel race extraordinaire Alexey Vermeulen and Pearl Izumi product line manager Lani Benson. They unpack how gravel gear (especially kit and outerwear) has evolved along with the sport's progression. But thats just the tip of the iceberg. It's not all gear and geeking out. However, the conversation moves into the "real meaning" of gravel. Why would someone subject themselves to a grueling (yet fun) 10-hour day on the bike? Importantly, how that day on the bike might not vibe with the most obvious gear choice. For example, the super lightweight stiff-soled gear the professionals are racing might not be the best for you. The group discusses their favorite pieces of gravel (and all-around kit) from the newest Pearl Izumi offerings and Alexey's never-ending love for the Attak Barrier jacket. Will Pearl Izumi possibly return to higher footwear? Their newest offering, the Expedition Pro shoes, looks promising, but they need that extra push—and that could be coming. Lastly, it wouldn't be a podcast with Alexey if we didn't discuss the dog in the room: Willy. We talk about how he became so comfortable on the bike and how he (Willy) trains. What's the longest ride Willy does? Listen to find out! Check out all the gear and more at PearlIzumi.com . Want More?

Hey BikeRumor Fans! The Cyclocross World Championship is just around the corner, and we thought there was no better time to have our buddy Bill Schieken of CXHAIRS on the podcast. Jordan sits down with Bill and chats about the inception of CXHAIRS and how it grew into the last standing real-time coverage of US Cyclocross. But CXHAIRS covers more than the domestic cyclocross scene. Over the years, they have grown to have European coverage and moved to a substack-style model. They offer deep dives into race coverage with fantastic in your face race and venue photography. Bill isn't only a cyclocross correspondent king; he was also once part of Trek Factory Racing. He discusses his favorite times documenting the team and shares stories of hanging with the athletes. The discussion moves into how SVENNESS came about, and we might see some new Episodes. Lastly, Jordan and Bill discuss the announcement of DCCX being the home for the 2025 Pan-American championships. There are LOTS packed into this episode, so if you're a fan of racing in parking garages, basketball (you heard that correctly), and all things for the love of bikes - this is a must-listen.

Welcome to BikeRumor Podcast #106 How to Conquer Cold Weather Cycling and Crush Your Winter Rides This episode covers cold-weather cycling and how to dress best for success when the temperature drops. Jordan chats with Lani Benson and Matt Kent from Pearl Izumi. We start with the basics of dressing for winter riding and quickly get to the specifics of how to get the most from your gear. If the weather near you is getting colder and the trainer is looking more and more tempting, chill out (by grabbing a coffee or snack) and listen to this podcast. We start with the laying basics as a refresher and introduction for new all-year-round outdoor cyclists. Next, we move into how to build a kit for your type of rider and training needs. Then, we move on to mid-layers and shells, gloves, and shoe covers. Finally, we wrap up with all the tips and tricks Pearl Izumi learns from working with the best cycling athletes from around the world. Lani and Matt have so much information on the technical aspects of winter layering that we could have talked for two hours or more. But don't worry — they'll be back in spring with a special guest!

103 - A Guide to Practical Gravel Race Fueling 1:21:07

31 weeks тому1:21:07

1:21:07

Podcast Episode 103: A Guide to Practical Gravel Race Fueling We'll be the first to admit it: Fueling for long events is challenging, especially if you don’t have a game plan or it's your first event. With the rise of longer and more intense gravel races and events, proper fueling is more critical than ever. A Guide to Gravel Race Fueling This conversation isn’t just for first-timers or elite gravel grinders; it's for everyone. I’ve often gotten my fueling strategy wrong, and I still do sometimes (and I’ve been at this for years). Whether it was not eating enough, not eating the right food, or the dreaded “I’ll eat later” followed by a dreaded BONK and vision quest for the finish line. We can all work on our fueling for training and racing, no matter how many races we have under our belt. For BikeRumor Podcast Episode 103, I sat down with the Fuel Good Nutrition (formerly Rider Box) team to dispel fueling myths and clarify what a race nutrition plan can look like. So, should I eat as many gels as I can? No, this isn’t a laundry list of 20 gels and 50 blocks for over 250k of racing. It's a real-food and practical look at what riders can do (and stomach) to achieve the most from their training. From Training to Race Day We discuss what a fueling plan looks like from the very start. We look at the week leading up to the big event (gravel race in our scenario) and forward from there. We are tackling not only what but also how to get in the correct amount of carbs and other fuels to stay robust and fresh over your ride. After the race, you need to replenish, recover, and rebuild. We discuss re-fueling, recovery meals, drinks, and strategies so you can be stronger in the next race. WANT MORE?

Jordan sits down and talks about all things Lefty with Cannondale Factory Racing (CFR) and the suspension team at Cannondale. Steve Exstance, Murray Washburn, and Lefty Larry walk us through the conception, progression, and even electrification of Cannondale's Lefty line. Larry was kind enough to meet us at the CFR headquarters and described the "day in the life" of a CFR team member and how all the moving parts behind wins work in tandem. We cover how the team dials in their suspension for different course demands and rider styles and what it's like servicing multiple Lefties while traveling worldwide. Plus, we get the insider scoop and some secret tips from Lefty Larry for setup, lockout and the team answers reader questions. So, if you're a Cannondale fanatic or a rider looking to get a peek behind the scenes of World Cup life, this episode is a must-listen! WANT MORE?

Silca's Josh Poertner gets his new product ideas from the craziest places. Take the new Strip Chips, for example. These hot melt chain wax additives were inspired by the food industry, where they're trying to find a replacement for trans fats and hydrogenated oils. Turns out, they can make it a whole lot easier to wax your chain, too! In this episode, we geek out on how that product works, the nuances of wax temperatures for proper chain waxing, and talk a lot about where his ideas come from, what else he's excited about, and why his stuff costs more than everyone else's. I always love talking to Josh, and I think you're going to really enjoy this one, too. WANT MORE?

While at the launch for the new Fox GRIP dampers, I pretty much had my brain melted by VP of engineering Bill Brown as he explained their inner workings. So, naturally, I brought him on the show here to run through it again. The level of fluid dynamics and engineering discussed is still well above my pay grade, but I think we do a pretty good of of explaining how the new dampers are able to simultaneously offer more support and be more sensitive to small bumps. It's all about pressure balancing, and we go deep on it. If you've always run your suspension wide open so it's as comfortable as possible, you may want to listen in. The new GRIP dampers provide better, faster damping so you have more control with less harshness. And they work phenomenally well. Get ready to geek out! WANT MORE?

If you've ever wondered how route creation and ride mapping works, you're going to love this episode. My guest is Eric Semianczuk, co-founder of Sherpa Map. I'm guessing you haven't heard of them… yet. But the cycling route map service they're building is incredible, using AI and granular LIDAR data compiled over weather, surface type, and elevation data to create the most sophisticated route data you can imagine. And they just keep improving it. It's wild, and in this episode, Eric explains how they got started, how mapping and route building works, and how they're using AI to predict everything from surface type to how many calories you'll need and even advise on tire selection for your next race.

097 - Ride1Up rallies for affordable e-bikes that don't suck 47:34

1 year тому47:34

47:34

So, apparently, not every cheap e-bike sucks after all. Until recently I was firmly in the camp that cheap, hub-motor e-bikes with cadence sensors were all terrible and unsafe. Then I talked to Kevin Dugger, founder of Ride1Up e-bikes, and he changed my mind. It's not so much the bikes that bugged me, although we'll talk about that, too, it was the cadence sensors that told the motor to start going. It turns out, there's a lot more to the " on " of " off " systems of the early days or the cheapest bikes. Also, it turns out there are also some really good use cases for hub motors and cadence sensors, and that their performance, or lack thereof, really comes down to how their controllers are programmed. Kevin and I get into the details of what makes a good cadence sensor system, when you might want one instead of a torque sensor mid-drive bike, and lots of other interesting details about making e-bikes affordable without sacrificing quality and safety. If you're in the market for an e-bike but have a small budget, you'll definitely want to listen to this one. WANT MORE?
