Cycling Over Sixty Reboot
Send Me a Text Message Host Tom Butler opens season five of Cycling Over Sixty with an honest look back at a quiet season four. There were fewer episodes because Tom was building the next chapter of Cycling Over Sixty, and that work pulled him off the bike. His weight went up, his blood glucose control slipped, and he’s back on blood pressure medication. It’s a hard reminder of how much he needs to stay active, no matter how much else is going on. From there, Tom lays out what Cycling Over Si...

Getting on a Bike in Your Seventies
Send Me a Text Message Host Tom Butler opens the episode with a reflection on this year's Seattle to Portland ride. It was made special by finishing in Portland with his daughter. He then introduces Sue Nicholson, a woman he considers a mentor. Sue came to cycling late, working her way in through mountaineering and kayaking before finding the sport in her 70s. Tom and Sue get into her path from that first ride to bike-packing in her 70s, what it means to train differently as a wo...

Exercise is Medicine Advisor Dr. Gary McCall
Send Me a Text Message Host Tom Butler opens with the report he promised on his new Otso Warakin TI: a first long ride that turned into a navigation disaster but still delivered an encouraging first real test of the bike. He gets into what went wrong trying to find the trail, and what went right once the bike was moving, smooth on the gravel descents and surprisingly planted at thirty miles an hour on the road, on gravel tires. He also flags a knee that flared up and the setup questions he wa...

Getting a Gravel Bike
Send Me a Text Message In this short solo episode, host Tom Butler walks through the build of his newest bike: the Otso Warakin TI, a titanium gravel bike spec'd to be a true do-everything machine. This isn't a review. With only a handful of miles on the bike so far, it's an honest look at the decisions Tom made and why, the ones he feels confident about and the ones he'll have to wait and see on. Tom gets into why he wanted a third bike in the first place, why he chose titanium over carbon, ...

Mark and Juno are Riding from Edinburgh to Athens
Send Me a Text Message Host Tom Butler shares a rundown of where Cycling Over Sixty stands today and how much the show has grown since its beginnings. As part of that update, Tom introduces the Cycling for Active Aging Network, a Pierce County partnership designed to reach adults over 55 who are physically inactive by adapting existing cycling programs to be more welcoming to older adults who are sedentary and maybe have never thought of themselves as cyclists. Then Tom has a conversation wit...

Self Healing with Julie Donnelly
Send Me a Text Message Host Tom Butler opens with a look at what's pushing him to get out on the bike more lately, including a recent lab report that didn't go the way he wanted. It's the kind of moment that can either derail a fitness journey or fuel it, and Tom is honest about how he's choosing to use it. Then Tom welcomes Julie Donnelly, author of The Pain Free Athlete and a practitioner who has spent her career helping people get free of the pain that quietly derails so many active lives....

Dr. Kevin Smith on Functional Medicine
Send Me a Text Message Can a simple change in chainring shape unlock more pedaling power? Tom Butler put oval chainrings on two bikes to find out. He also explores the value that bike clubs bring to a community — and suggests it might be bigger than many people think. Then Tom is joined by Dr. Kevin Smith, the clinician behind metabolicsolutions.net and the Chronic Conditions Center in Bethel Park, PA. Dr. Smith brings his knowledge of functional medicine to the podcast, helping listene...

The Way of Excellence with Stanley Bronstein
Send Me a Text Message Host Tom Butler continues to be real about his own fitness journey and just how common his experience really is. He also dives into the most concrete expression yet of an idea at the heart of the show: the bicycle as a medical device, spotlighting the Exercise is Medicine® initiative from the American College of Sports Medicine, which is working to make physical activity a standard part of clinical care. Then Tom sits down with Stanley Bronstein, who shares a remarkable...
