One hopeful Canadian kid and one podcast to change the way North American cyclists succeed. It’s time to change the game for those on this side of the Atlantic. Carter Lewis, and his many guests work to alter what cycling looks like in the public eye, how athletes get to the world stage and stay there, but also just how insane this sport really is, from the grassroots of racing, right to the professional ranks.
