Cycling culture from the side roads.

The gist

The BroomWagon Podcast treats cycling as a social map rather than only a sport. Recent episodes move from Montreal bike paths and LA riding culture to custom saddles, ultra-distance events, frame details, cake-fueled rides, and cycling movie nights.

About The BroomWagon Podcast 🚌

The BroomWagon Podcast is a cycling culture show with a wide, informal orbit. It talks about bikes, but it often gets to cycling by way of cities, friendships, objects, food, films, community groups, and personal projects. Recent episodes show that range clearly. A Montreal conversation looks at bike paths, island density, respectful road use, and why getting around by bicycle can make practical sense in a city under pressure. A Los Angeles episode considers how a car-dominated place can produce a strong riding community, with shops, open-minded newcomers, and repeated encounters on safer routes shaping a local scene. The show is curious about place. It is also curious about craft. Conversations with Simon Mottram and Rob Quirk spend time on modern classic design, titanium bikes, white luggage, recessed bolts, and the difficult little engineering choices most riders might never notice. The Posedla episode goes deep on customized saddles, 3D-printed foam, carbon versions, rails, rider weight limits, and the effort to keep production close. That technical detail never turns the show cold. The pacing stays chatty, excited, and handmade. Ultra endurance is another recurring thread, including Vale Stewart, Tour Divide, and cycling for Palestine. The show treats those efforts as values-driven projects, not just feats of distance. The Cake Movement episode brings in Dancing Cake, Dancing Dolce, Tsuri Escape, Pano Chocolat, and the idea that cycling events can be built around enjoyment as much as difficulty. Elsewhere, the host records from trains, thanks listeners, points toward Zurich Cycling Movie Nights, and folds the production itself into the story. That looseness is part of the appeal. The BroomWagon Podcast works best for riders who want cycling to feel social, international, independent, and slightly messy in a human way. It is about the world around the bike as much as the bike.

Made for: For cyclists who care about community, independent events, handmade gear, urban riding, and the stories around the ride. It especially suits listeners who prefer relaxed, personality-rich conversations over formal race coverage.

What sets it apart: The show treats cycling as a culture of places and people, not a narrow performance lane. Its strength is the mix: Montreal commuting, LA community, ultra endurance, custom saddles, bike design, cake rides, and train-recorded season reflections all sit naturally together.

In their own words
