About The FredCast
The FredCast is the internet's premier cycling podcast, offering a weekly 45-60 minute audio program aimed at avid cyclists and fans of professional bicycle racing. The show focuses on cycling news, product reviews, upcoming events, interviews with interesting cycling personalities, on-the-scene reporting and other items of interest to so-called "Freds" (high-end cyclists who tend to spend a good deal of time and money on their equipment and training).
The show, now in its 5th year of production, is hosted and produced by David Bernstein, an avid road cyclist, mountain biker and former bicycle industry executive. The FredCast regularly tops all competition in iTunes and other podcast aggregators and typically sees downloads in excess of 60,000 - 85,000 per month.

I don’t normally publish press releases, but I’ve just received one that definitely caught my eye. A system to ensure that you don’t drive into your garage with your expensive bike still attached to your roof rack. We all know someone who has done this, and the results can be catastrophic to racks, cars, bikes and even relationships. I’ve asked for a review unit and will give you my impressions on the show if I get one.

The good news is, I made it safely through The Maratona dles Domoites. The bad news is, I didn’t make the time cut for the medium course (I missed it by literally a couple of minutes), so I only did the short course. I was bummed, but I still had a good time. More later . . . .
