Today is a big day for the SSS podcast. We are welcoming our new co-host. And of course, it is no other than Rob (@cairsy.co). We decided to co-host the show with Rob once a month because we love him and we had a great time recording with him on multiple occasions.
#Ep.34 Fixed Gear's Unwanted Gatekeepers
A sense of elitism pervades most hobbies, ranging from uptight coffee snobs to photography armchair experts and the fixed gear community isn’t isolated from this type of behavior.

The Slow Spin Society Podcast Ep.25 - What Is The Track Bike Aesthetic ? Community, Trends, and Unspoken Rules
Today’s episode focuses on the track bike aesthetic. Whether it is a fancy chainring, wide bars, or going brakeless, we’re all guilty of splurging on our bikes to make them look a certain way. We try to strike a balance between form and function, but does one take priority over the other?
