  • Designing for adventure: How framebuilders are changing bikes for rougher roads

    Designing for adventure: How framebuilders are changing bikes for rougher roads

    · Unpaved Podcast

    What trends are we seeing in bike design? Can one-bike-to-do-it-all really work? Is there a sweet-spot for tyre width? What is the future of off road bicycle design?

    Chatting to Tom and Jack from the Bicycle Academy and framebuilder alumni Adeline O'Moreau, we discussed the change in bike design and builds over the last few decades, and how rider demands and trends are changing the way we build and ride bikes.

  • Becoming Ultra: Journeys into endurance cycling

    Becoming Ultra: Journeys into endurance cycling

    · Unpaved Podcast

    From very different beginnings, both Philippa Battaye and Tom Probert are experienced endurance riders, having completed GBDURO, the Silk Road Mountain Race, numerous Transcontinental races, Further and Italy Divide to name just a few. But how do you get into this kind of racing, and what are the mistakes you learn from along the way? We huddled around the campfire with some whiskey and our friends to find out.

  • Where has this gravel boom come from?

    Where has this gravel boom come from?

    · Unpaved Podcast

    In our first episode of Unpaved Podcast we travelled to the beautiful New Forest on the South Coast to join The Woods Cyclery's Sunday shop ride. With co-owner Tom Farrell and co-owner of Brother Cycles, Will Meyer, we discussed exactly where this gravel boom has come from and more about their routes into the discipline, from BMX to Tour Divide.

    If you'd like to try the route we rode in the New Forest, you can find it on our komoot account here. Let us know how you get on!

  • What is Unpaved Podcast?

    What is Unpaved Podcast?

    · Unpaved Podcast

    This is Unpaved Podcast, the adventure cycling and bikepacking podcast, brought to you by Katherine Moore and Tom Bonnett, and supported by komoot.

    Join us as we travel the length and breadth of the UK, seeking out the very best off road riding in the wild and wonderful British Isles. We’re seeking out the riders, route masters, gear designers and creatives that help us get the most out of leaving the tarmac behind.

    This introductory series explores the fundamental concepts of what it means to ride off road; exploring cycling history, how new communities are being born all over the country and how attitudes are changing more than they have done in decades. We want to show you what happens when we take this kind of riding to the extremes and how the cycling industry is responding to the surging all-terrain appetite.

    This is not a studio podcast. We’ll be joining our guests as they showcase the very best of their local dirt, come snow, rain or shine (literally, it’s winter you know). You might be tuning into us from your commute, work or your local rides, but you won’t be missing out. With each episode we’ll be providing you with the route and highlights on our Unpaved komoot account so you can go and enjoy the locals’ best off road trails all over the UK too.

    To claim your free region bundle as a new user of komoot, head over to www.komoot.com/g and use the code UNPAVED.

    Keep your eyes peeled on Wednesday 19th February for the launch of our first episode of the podcast, where we'll be travelling to the New Forest to hang out with The Woods Cyclery and Brother Cycles.
