Episode 13: Don’t buy me this! Crap cycling Christmas gifts discussed + what it was like to work for Team Sky

Send us Fan MailWhat do us cyclists really want for Christmas? Definitely not another bike-shaped pizza cutter, comedy jersey or random piece of giftware with a bike on, according to VecchioJo! Yep, it’s that time of year where Jo compiles his very own Christmas list of what not to buy for cyclists this Nöel, and for the 13th episode of the road.cc Podcast we’ve brought it to life as he discusses the road.cc Christmas no-no list with George and Jack. WARNING: Contains brief digressions about fixies and rim brakes that could massively trigger fans of either of these things… Liam and Jack also chat to Nick Howes, who was the press officer and then digital manager for Team Sky while they were at their absolute peak. What was it like working on the road while one of the biggest stories in British sport unfolded before us, with Bradley Wiggins’ Tour de France victory inspiring a generation of Team Sky-wearing MAMILs? We’ve also got a giveaway to celebrate hitting 10,000 downloads last episode! Our road.cc Podcast partners Altura are giving away a luxurious Merino neck warmer, and we’re throwing in a road.cc t-shirt and road.cc socks for good measure.
