    Easy Listening
    Nice to hear about and get inspiration from others bike touring adventures!
  • Lisa Crosses Bridges
    Pro host, fun experience
    Bike Life host Jerry Kopack did a great job make our segment truly feel like a conversation between two friends. Thanks for the opportunity to share my story!
  • (6,?!&)
    Great Story
    Definitely inspirational.
  • mccoymom52
    Could improve
    Love listening to bike tour related podcasts but this one could improve. Taverlee is an awkward interviewer who rushes interviews. She often interrupts and cuts people off. Much better flow and conversation with the male host.
  • Speedyab6
    Two Nomads
    While I was quite nervous about being the interviewee I had a great experience with Michele and Tahverlee. Michele did all the prep and Tahverlee made me comfortable and welcome. I gave a lot and I learned a lot, both in my interview but also the ones I listened to in preparation and the many I’ve listened to since. Keep up the great work! Anne PS: My first book is coming out soon, would love to introduce you to it.
  • Baushaus
    Warmth and Adventure!
    The perfect combination. Succinct and digestible stories from the road with the fantastic host, Tahverlee, highlight the beauty of life seen from two wheels and the magic that the Warmshowers foundation provides to thousands of cyclists every year. Thank you for sharing and connecting so many people!! Highly recommend.

    this podcast in general!
    I love listening to this podcast I learn stuff every time and I sometimes I live vicariously through the people traveling. 😀!!!
  • Athiker01
    Every story inspires me more
    I love the stories, because each person inspires me to want to follow in their foot path. Although the ride I ride will be my own ride, I can take bits and pieces of their ideas to inspire me to create my own stories. Thanks Warmshowers for your service to the biking community and for this inspirational podcast.

    Great podcast
    Have learned so much from listening to inspiring folks on this podcast. Can’t recommend enough!
  • tracey.s.h
    I love it!
    I recently found out about Warm Showers from friends which then led me to this podcast. I have been binge listening to all the episodes and have not got at all tired of listening to the incredible stories. I am hooked! I’ve never toured on a bike but now I’m planning my first one. Thank you!

    Short on experiences?
    I can’t help but feel like the core reason for this podcast, sharing stories from the road, appears to be glossed over, to me at least. If you consider the sheer number of bike touring experiences out there, I feel that the content of this podcast must be lacking. I also feel as if the spiritual sentiment of the podcast host is being pushed over on us listeners. Warmshowers is about expanding your horizons, sure, but it’s also about hosts and guests respecting one another. It seems to me that the guests on this podcast have to fit certain personality or demographic or other social constraints, as they seem to be in a very narrowly-defined segment of society. That does not align with the diversity I have seen as a WS host. I know there are time constraints in a podcast, but I feel there have to be more experiences out there. Please consider a response that is something other than “Mmmmmh.”

    Adventure is right outside. This podcast rules.
  • Melissa Priola
    Love it!
    I’m a Warmshower host and cyclist and I love the podcast! So inspiring to hear all the stories. Thank you!!
  • Broderlort
    Great inspiration
    I’m on a tour around the world and on days where you feel that the bike isn’t moving as you want it to, then this podcast inspires me to push harder and get to new places. Thanks for the effort that WS puts into this

    Resonates
    So often when listening, I hear ideas, expressions, feelings, experiences and philosophies that truly resonate. We often think community building ends with the end of our tour. Tahverlee ensures that building continues. The community of bike tourists and hosts continues to expand in the time of global pandemic. Thank you Tahverlee.

    Soul energizing listening to others cycling voyages
    This podcast is a gem for any cyclist who has or plans to voyage on two wheels for the first time or an across-the-world journey. It is a melting pot of people sharing their unique and soul transforming experiences of discovery and adventure by traveling to new countries on two wheels and meeting open arms and life time experiences along the way. Thanks for the listening enjoyment; it has been great fuel to look forward to my next journey on the road.

    Great listening, and a helpful way to learn about touring resources
    Just listened to the episode about Bike Flights. Very informative. I wish I had known about this before I tried to ship my bike from WI to MA after my tour.
