Revolting

The Cycling Independent

Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and dwelling sometimes on what’s confusing. The guys are looking, and almost never finding, answers. But the fun is in the looking. This a cycling podcast for those not defined by racing, high-performance, or any performance at all really. It’s a podcast for people who just like to ride bikes, and do other stuff, because it’s fun. Revolting is another fine production by The Cycling Independent.

Reliable Reviews of Movies We Haven’t Seen. Maybe you’ve seen them. Who cares? We’re gonna tell you what you should think, because we are keen observers of culture and media, arbiters of taste even. Grab yourself a bucket of popcorn and dump it on your head. We do things a little differently around here. Music […]

Sometimes You Just Have to Blow It Up. Nine days out of ten, we’re sleep walking, so it should come as no surprise when things get tragically off-course. Maybe it’s a relationship, maybe it’s a job, maybe it’s your whole life. You pack it with kindling and douse it with kerosene. You strike a match. […]

You and Your Younger Self Walk Into a Bar. How much of the story that we tell ourselves is really true? Were we really that cool, that rad or that fast? Or have we spent the years telling ourselves what we want to hear, slowly filling in the gaps between who we actually were and […]

Meet Me at the Goat Parade. All over the world people sensed a disturbance in the force, two powerful forces colliding, as though gravity shuddered and let out a fart. What happened was Robot and I met up at the MADE fancy-ass bicycle show, and now we’re gonna tell you all about our adventures there. […]

The Monster Truck Jam of the Planet of the Apes. The human condition is a cage we’ve spent nearly 300,000 years trying to escape from. Can we kill a wooly mammoth? Actually, we can kill ‘em all. Can we jump a rocket car across the Snake River Canyon? No. Apparently not. Through the millennia we’ve […]

You can pick your nose, and you can pick your music, but can you pick your friend’s nose music? We’ve already named around 500 great albums for you to listen to, but do you even lift, bro? I mean, are we talking to ourselves here? Well, just in case anyone is listening, we’re each going […]

A Typewriter, a Telephone, a Silver-Plated Whistle. If the phrase ‘sentimental value’ means anything to you, then you are one of the very many humans who have invested an everyday object with value beyond its usefulness. Why are we so eager to invest things with meaning or value or even supernatural powers? Music Picks: Robot […]

3 records, 2 movies and a book. Most humans think they’re complicated, but in reality, pop culture captures most of our personalities and feeds them back to us in shiny packages with long credits lists. Today, we sift through the media that express our personalities most succinctly. Music Picks: Robot – Quicksand – Bring on […]

Don’t Kill Yourself. We’re losing too many good people for bad reasons. We get it. We’ve been there. We’ve done the math too. Life can feel like way too much. But we’re gonna be really pissed off if you kill yourself, because it takes a whole village of idiots to make the kind of place […]

Getting to the Point. Guys, guys, guys, listen. We know we have a hard time getting to the point and sticking to the point and staying on schedule and remembering to breathe, but we have some strategies for doing a better job, and actually we’re not even sure doing a better job is worth that […]

Eating Crumpets with Emily Post. You know, you wouldn’t think a couple of guys like us thinks much about etiquette, but au contraire, we’re dedicated to getting along with most of the folks who are also dedicated to getting along with us, so we try to be considerate, polite even, and today we’re gonna try […]

Getting Exactly What We Deserve. We complain a lot about getting old and our bodies falling apart, but we have systematically avoided all the precautionary steps one might take to mitigate the aforementioned problems. We didn’t wear enough pads or helmets. We didn’t use ear plugs. We didn’t wear the braces we were supposed to. […]

Support This Podcast Formative Filmography. The ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s were a time before streaming, when you had to mean to watch a movie. It didn’t just happen by accident. Back then, people could sit still for 2 whole hours at a time without checking their phones or hitting their vapes even once. We watched […]

Support This Podcast Doomsday Prepping. As long as humanity has been new boot goofin’ around Planet Earth, we’ve been preparing for the end. Will it be an asteroid strike? Alien attack? Or will we just do the species-level equivalent of falling asleep with a lit cigarette? Questions like these sharpen the mind and help you […]

Support This Podcast The Pros and Cons of Being Alive. We’ve both been alive for more than half-a-century now, and that means we know stuff. We know what’s good about it, and we know what’s less good about it. For example, we know that there’s alien life in the universe and that it too wonders […]

Lightning Strikes Thrice. We’ve been doing a bad job of getting to the topic each week, which leaves you without the deep and wise words that you come here for. Instead of correcting our behavior and getting to work earlier in the podcast, we’re just going to give in to the ADD and spend the […]

The Princesses and the Peas. Even on our best days we encounter annoyances, dumb little things that threaten to send us into a blind rage. A pebble in the shoe. An ingrown hair. Tax prep. The voices of other people. Dave Grohl in a documentary. If we could eliminate them all, would we just invent […]

Stars Going Supernova. Even the stars in the sky flame out. They say the 50s are the new 30s, but in our 30s we could sleep and injuries still healed. In our experience the 50s might be the new 80s, where stuff breaks spontaneously and we give it all up to watch daytime news and […]

Serving Size Equals None. The ‘80s represented a magical confluence of microwave cookery and our own voracious adolescences. Have you ever eaten a Subway 6” meatball sub in two bites? Have you ever eaten a sleeve of Thin Mints and noticed how much it leaves your mouth tasting like you just smoked a menthol cigarette? […]

The Unhelpful Remembance of Selves Past. We always say, “Comparison is the theft of joy.” Actually, apparently, Teddy Roosevelt said it first. He also famously once said, “Who farted? Was it you?” but that’s neither here nor there. The thing is, the person we compare ourselves most often and most unhelpfully is our past self, […]
