S3E6 - The Flying 200m bike out in the wild!
Max Uivel and Pat Crowe Rishworth have been working for over a year on a bike with the sole purpose of being really fast in flying 200m time trials. How did the design process work, what's different about it, is it even that fast and should the rest of the world care?
Scooch back to season 1, episode 5 for the first podcast where the bike was a mere twinkle in Max and Pat's eye. Check out a couple of photos of the rig in action on the @wellington.velodrome instagram.

S3E2 - Nick Kergozou de la Boessiere: " I enjoy kilo time trials!"
Nick Kergozou De La Boessiere has been a mainstay of the New Zealand track team for over six years, winning medals at World Championships and World Cups. He's also the reigning National Kilometer Time Trial champion, an event which many track cyclists either love or hate ... mainly hate if we're being honest.
Trackie News' Nick Warren talks to Nick about his kilo TT super powers, strategy (there isn't one), his team pursuiting goals leading up to the Paris Olympics later this year, and his mighty impressive name.
