Lessons were learned, debate was had, and Clara was thoroughly embarrassed this week on The Broken Spokes podcast! Friend of the show and women's cycling advocate, Dan W of the Unofficial Unsanctioned Women's UCI Cycling Podcast, joins the show. After Dan discusses the Australian meaning of "Double Down," he and Kyle thoroughly embarrass Clara. She tries her best to curtail Dan and Kyle but fails miserably.

 


Dan shares how he became interested in women's cycling, and reveals that he is an amazing uncle to his nieces. They discuss issues with podium women, equality in the sport, and the cultural changes that need to happen if we ever expect equality to be a reality. Then Clara hassles Cat 5 racers, Kyle gets a life altering lesson, and the trio discusses the slippery slope that happens when women start using their sexuality to further the sport. Kyle wraps up the show by (shockingly) teaching listeners about the differences between a man and woman's bike and Dan talks about hunting Kangaroos on the farm in Australia.
