The Roadman Cycling Podcast

Every time you throw a leg over a bike, you’re making art. Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, this episode reframes cycling as more than training plans, watts, or weekend miles — it’s a way of being in the world. Riding sharpens your senses, changes how you read roads, weather, and your own body, and turns ordinary landscapes into something vivid. Each spin creates something new: a route, a mood, a story that didn’t exist before you clipped in. The bike becomes a lens for thinking, processing, and finding clarity without noise or distraction. So next time you roll out, ride like an artist: present, open, and trusting the work.

In this episode, Anthony sits down with sports nutritionist and researcher Tim Podlogar to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in cycling: finding your ideal cycling weight. We dive into power-to-weight ratio, body composition, fueling strategies, and why chasing a lower number on the scale can sometimes backfire.

Caffeine: legal, cheap, everywhere — and still one of the most effective performance tools cyclists have. In this episode, we go beyond “coffee is life” and break down why caffeine works, when it works best, and how to use it without sabotaging your pacing, stomach, or sleep. From endurance and repeatability to timing, dosage, and delivery methods, we look at how caffeine actually changes perceived effort — and why that can be both a weapon and a risk.
Practical, evidence-based guidance for road racers, gravel riders, and serious leisure cyclists who want caffeine to help, not hurt.

This episode is for every rider who’s ever been told to “just relax” — and felt their body do the exact opposite. We unpack why confidence on the bike isn’t a mindset you can switch on, but an outcome your nervous system earns through real evidence. From descending and cornering to the silent language of the bunch, you’ll learn why advice like “soft hands” fails when you don’t feel safe — and what actually works instead: progressive exposure, pattern-building through repetition, and riding in groups that prioritise predictability over chaos. Plus, practical drills to build precision, trust your bike’s stability, and turn nervous survival into calm, quiet confidence.
