RIDING WITH is a newsletter and occasional podcast about the people and media in the world of professional cycling.

Whether you’re a cycling fan or a weekend rider, whether you’re closely monitoring your stats on Strava or interested in good storytelling about people who excel at high levels of sport and life, RIDING WITH is for you.

CHECK OUT THE RIDING WITH PODCAST

RIDING WITH tells the stories about the people racing and working at the highest levels of professional cycling. It’s a chance to see and learn about the cyclists, the team owners, mechanics, chefs, and spin doctors, and to analyze and understand the ever-changing cycling media landscape from interviews with writers, reporters, analysts, and television personalities.

I started RIDING WITH because there was no one place to learn about the paths American professional cyclists had taken to get to the highest levels of the sport in Europe. While journalism is at the root of what I’m doing, this newsletter is about finding stories about people who are inspiring and entertaining. It’s about finding those stories where professional cycling can tell us something more and bigger about our daily lives and how it can help us understand the world.

I have raced and ridden enough to understand just how hard and cruel the sport can be, but it can also be fun, thrilling, and inspiring.

Thanks for reading. I really appreciate it.
