New Highway Code - Now What?

New Highway Code - Now What?

It is the year 2022 and the Highway Code in the UK has changed recently! With the introduction of a couple of prioritising mechanisms and the rephrasing of paragraphs the new code is meant to keep everyone a little bit safer on the roads. For us as cyclists there are a couple of points we want to look into a bit deeper. We invited our dear friend Dean Powell, who is a driving instructor as well as fellow mountain biker over to get a couple of points straight, discuss the pros and cons of a couple of amendments and having a general balanced conversation.

Marty MacDonald - Say What You See

Marty MacDonald - Say What You See

In this veloccino Cycling Podcast episode Mike Williams, Gemma Felstead and Niels Schnadt are absolutely delighted to speak to their favourite cycling commentator Marty MacDonald. Marty is well known in the cycling community as the voice of women's racing (often as a team with Dani Rowe) and cyclo-cross on Eurosport and GCN Race Pass.  Mike & Gemma have dipped their toes into commentating most recently and didn't want to miss this chance to speak to their favourite commentator to hopefully learn a thing or two. Marty has been commentating for the last 20 odd years and is one of those people that enter through a door or in our case dial into a Zoom call and immediately light up the room with their positive character!  You will most certainly get dragged into our, at times, light hearted conversation about all thing commentating and women's racing. You will learn how Marty got into commentating and graphic design, how to live commentate a sprint finish and what the future potentially holds for him. Marty Thanks a lot from the team at veloccino for taking the time to chat to us. Please follow Marty on his social media channels. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martymactv/

Jakub Pieniazek from the Workshop Cafe in Palma de Mallorca

In this week's episode of the veloccino Cycling Podcast, Mike Williams and Niels Schnadt have the chance to chat with Jakub Pieniazek. 

Jakub is the Co-Owner of the Workshop Cafe in Palma de Mallorca and also a hugely successful cycling coach. He is the head coach of the Polish National handbike team and has helped his riders achieving stellar results on the global para stage and the Paralympics. Over the past couple of years he also supported some high profile international riders like Marta Lach and Stanisław Aniołkowski (who both won the Polish National Road Championship titles in 2020) as well as the CCC pro team as one of their coaches.

We learn how Jakub grew up in a small area in Poland, found his love for cycling, moved to the US without speaking English and finally moved to Mallorca where they opened the Workshop Cafe in Palma. Along the way he became a super high profile and successful cycling coach. Besides all of that he is a super fun person to spend time with! 

Enjoy!

Rick Lister from Finishline Racing - How do you start a new racing team?

Rick Lister from Finishline Racing - How do you start a new racing team?

Gemma Felstead and Niels Schnadt speak to Rick Lister from Finishline Racing. Since this season was very light on bike racing due to Covid19, Gemma & Niels felt the urge to bring a bit more racing flavour into the podcast. Since they spoke with Olly Moors in the previous episode about veganism and bike racing they thought that this time the emphasis will be put more on racing itself. How do you actually start a race team and how do you find sponsors to make this happen? Rick Lister is the perfect partner for this conversation. Rick brings in a rich history of involvment in cycle racing and has finally built his own team with a fantastic raster of riders for 2021. Tune in to this episode we are sure you will enjoy it.

Olly Moors - Does veganism compliment your bike racing career ?

Olly Moors - Does veganism compliment your bike racing career ?

In this episode of the veloccino cycling podcast, Gemma and Niels chat to Olly Moors from the UCI Continental Team Ribble Weldtite about all things veganism. 

Olly has been racing bikes all over the globe, back as a young rider for an american team, but also in Belgium for a couple of years. Since the beginning of 2019 he chose to adapt to a vegan lifestyle. Gemma and Niels are intrigued to how that all looks like if you are a high performance athlete. Questions that came to mind are how to source your nutrition in countries that do not offer a wide variety in vegan products or does the veganism impacts performance in one way or the other. They speak about life choices, risks, benefits and a lot about racing bikes.

Winter Vibes 1.0 - How to get your motivation back?

Winter Vibes 1.0 - How to get your motivation back?

In this episode of Veloccino Cycling podcasts, Gem, Mike and Niels are going to talk about the experience in cycling. Gem is a coach in running. So, this podcasts episode will help listeners motivate and inspire in Gem’s story. Let’s begin!

Episode Timeline

Gem’s racing series

4:00

Gem is halfway through this zwift Racing League. They had a course which was everything bagel in New York. It lasted about two minutes and then the first hill came up and that was her back into the 5th place. This program actually impressed her. She took a break and did not time trial, she thought it would be a good idea to do as a team.

Mike and Gem’s inspiration and motivation for the listeners – in light of year 2020, COVID-19

9:20

I like the technical aspect, the engineering, putting bikes together and taking them apart. I really like the social aspect because I think one of my favorite feelings in the world is like after a really hard day of writing that point when you're sat down and you're you can feel the humming in your legs. There's actually feel quite nice when the endorphins released and all that kind of stuff.

Extrinsic motivation of cycling

12:24

There were events that I want to work towards, and I want to do well on it, especially the river Chino on the chest. It was really difficult because we entered the second lockdown because of this COVID-19. Time has changed.

Strengths

16:00

My strength is probably somewhere in being sort of a bit of an all-rounder because, I think I can kind of descend on a bike pretty quickly, for a road biker. I can climb up a hill pretty quickly. I really do enjoy the bike maintenance type stuff and putting that together.

Planning, organizing and committing to trainings

18:51

I'm pretty good at forming a habit and then sticking to it. But then when I lose that habit, I lose it completely. I think the challenge part is probably perhaps I've lost all of the other consistency. So, I think particularly for 2020 for many people, we're now working differently. We're now socializing differently. And perhaps one of the things for me is that because of that's all changed, it's made it less easy for me to shedule in, like, almost really consistent things.

Things that Mike aren’t so good at

26:07

Whenever I look at what and compare with other people have sort of similar size or age or people that I've written with over the years but it's always a lot higher than mine. That's one of the things for me where I keep thinking. I'm not quite so good at is probably disciplined with food.

Enjoy your ride!

Cheers

How does virtual racing work? With Gemma Felstead & Paul Fitzpatrick - Episode 3/01

"We heard a lot about virtual cycle racing in the past. Especially during the lockdown period it seems to have grown in popularity. So we wanted to find out what it is all about. How does it work? How do you get involved? How does a league look like and how do teams work together?

We caught up with Gemma Felstead and Paul Fitzpatrick to talk about all things virtual racing!

Enjoy the show!
Thanks
Niels"

In this episode of Veloccino cycling podcast, we have invited guests Gemma Felstead and Paul Fitzpatrick. They are both virtual athletes, and Paul as DS (Directeur sportif) and organizer of virtual events. They joined the show to talk with us all about virtual racing – how it works, getting involved, joining a league, and racing with a team, all in one episode!

Key Quotes:

“One of the great things about Zwift is at a certain degree, you have a race to focus on and gives you purpose to do the training. The training is not just for the sake of it, you've actually got a purpose for why you're putting in those extra hours.” [13:54-14:10]

“There's nothing that compares to riding with a group or team on the road. And listening to the sound that it makes it amazing, talking together, and having tactics” [37:37-37:47]

We were tempted to call this episode "only fools and horses" but the more descriptive title might make more sense in this case.

In this episode we had a fantastic chat with Lisa Keys from Lisa Keys Eventing. Niels Schnadt and Mike Williams learn that bike and horse riders actually have a lot in common. We find out how to approach horses, we learn about "spooking" and we discuss a couple of scenarios on how to overtake horse riders.
