This week Lori and Patrick discuss on-the-bike technology and what they use. Patrick takes a little tour of past devices he lived by and lends a perspective on what a great time in history it is to be a cyclist.
It's fall and for some riders that means a time to back off the miles, recover some and begin the slow process of getting ready for the next season. Patrick draws Lori out about what fall riding used to be for her and how that has changed.

This week Patrick and Lori examine how they've used bike rides to help make decisions. Both big and small, the bike has figured as a way to figure things out.

Cohost Lori Barrett is back from a trip to Portland for the MADE show where she interviewed a number of people.

This week Patrick and Lori consider helmet use, particularly when running errands or commuting. Both admit that their views—and behavior—have evolved over the years.

This week Patrick introduces the Paceline's new co-host Lori Barrett. Lori is a veteran of cycling, both in the industry and in racing and burns more energy in a day than some stars. She's a delight and brings a fresh perspective to the show.
This week John takes a look at how the men's Tour de France is going and opines about what the women's Giro d'Italia tells us about the upcoming women's Tour de France. Will cycling help you live to be old? Patrick considers a recent study on longevity and what his own experience recently hiking in Yosemite suggests.
John and Patrick talk creativity and cycling. John wonders if cycling really needs creativity, and Patrick asserts that because flow happens, creativity happens.

Here we are, five years down the road from the lockdown, and the bike world is still in a state of flux. John wonders how shops might evolve their business model to survive.
