Veteran Cycling Network

The Veteran Cycling Network Podcast is a running conversation between service members, veterans, and the people who ride alongside them — recorded across time zones, born out of the idea that leaving the military shouldn't mean losing your platoon. Each episode, hosts Andre and Melvin sit down with guests from around the world to talk bikes — road, gravel, mountain, whatever gets you outside — and the real stuff underneath it: managing stress and PTSD, staying connected after service, finding a new community when the old one scatters. Expect gear talk, crash stories, plenty of ribbing between roadies and everybody else, and honest conversations about why so many of us have found more relief on two wheels than anywhere else. New episodes when we've got something worth saying — subscribe so you don't miss one.

They rib on road bikers vs. everybody else, swap crash stories, nerd out on affordable carbon bikes closing the price gap, and dig into why cost and access — not talent — keep so many riders out of th...
