    Fake Bikes, Dirty Supplements, and the $1.4B Bike Theft Industry

    Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026 This week we dive into cycling’s hidden underground economy. From counterfeit carbon frames that look identical to top-tier bikes—but could fail catastrophically—to contaminated supplements that might get you banned without you ever knowing, and the organised crime rings stealing and exporting thousands of bikes every year. What started as one suspicious online listing quickly turned into a deep rabbit hole involving lab tests, anti-doping rules, and even FBI investigations. If you ride, race, or spend money on bikes and gear, this episode will change how you think about where your equipment—and your nutrition—really comes from A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

    How To Start Running As A Cyclist (Mistakes To Avoid) With Jimmy Whelan

    Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026 Most cyclists assume their bike fitness will carry straight over to running — but that’s rarely the case. In this episode, Jimmy Whealan and I unpack why so many cyclists get running wrong and how to avoid the common pitfalls. Jimmy is a former professional cyclist who raced with EF Education–Nippo and now focuses on running, giving him a unique perspective on the transition between the two sports. We discuss the key differences between cycling fitness and running durability, the mechanics mistakes that often lead to injury, and why the wrong shoes can cause problems before you even get started. We also cover the importance of strength work and how to introduce running into your training without compromising your cycling performance.

  6. One Cadence Change That Nearly Doubled VO₂ Max Gains (Scientific Study)

    One Cadence Change That Nearly Doubled VO₂ Max Gains (Scientific Study)

    Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026 One small change on your bike computer might unlock big performance gains. In a recent study, two groups followed the exact same cycling training plan—same sessions, same hours, same effort. Yet one group improved their VO₂ max by 8.7%, while the other improved by just 4.6%. The difference? Cadence. For years, elite coaches working with some of the world’s best riders have quietly prescribed this specific cadence-focused session. In this episode, we break down the science behind the study, why cadence changes the physiological response to training, and how this often-missed workout could help you unlock major cycling gains. Here's the link to the study Anthony talks about - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0311833&utm A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

    How To Become A Better Descender

    Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026 In 2014, neuroscientists scanned the brains of Formula One drivers and discovered something surprising: they don’t feel less fear at high speed — they override it. Their amygdala fires like everyone else’s, but their prefrontal cortex steps in with experience, pattern recognition, and proof that they’ve been there before. Descending on a bike works the same way. Confidence isn’t bravery; it’s a built “corner library” of stored repetitions that tell your brain you’re safe. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of fear, what F1 and ski racing already understand about high-speed performance, and gives you a practical framework to rewire your descending — corner by corner, repetition by repetition.
