Given
how bad we are here at citycycling in keeping our
little blog updated, the idea of a weekly podcast
on cycling, while attractive, is just waaaaaaaay beyond
us. Thanks, therefore, must go to 'Fredcast',
which bills itself as 'The internet's premier
cycling podcast'.
While
the focus of the site is naturally on the pdcast itself,
as a weekly digest of news and cycling snippets, there
is behind the show a well-updated blog (again we feel
ashamed) covering all sorts of cycling issues, a few
photos, some details about the creator of the Fredcast,
David Bernstein, and show notes for each week - basically
a contents list of each show.
Throughout
everything is a sense of just enjoying cycling, and
caring about the issues surrounding the leisure activity
and sport, all pulled together with the knowledge
that you'd expect from from a former bike industry
executive.
But
one question remains, why 'Fred'cast? "Several
internet dictionaries define a “Fred”
as a person who spends a lot of money on his or her
bike and clothing but still can't ride... I have always
taken the term as one of endearment and not one of
scorn, since I usually ride faster than those who
call me a Fred and so it has become a badge of honor.
The FredCast is devoted to all those who have ever
been called a Fred by so-called “real”
cyclists."
That
answers that then...
If
you've seen a website you think we should feature
here...
Or even if you run a website which you think would
be of interest...
