Italian Precision; Pursuit of Perfection with Silca
On this episode, we chat with two Silca employees about the ins and outs of an Indiana brand. Founded in 1917 near Milan, Italy, SILCA built its reputation on cycling innovation—introducing the first pump pressure gauges, high-pressure frame pumps, post-WWII plastic components, and early CO2 inflators. Driven by durable materials, traditional craftsmanship, and continuous design, many SILCA pumps from the 1960s and 70s remain in active use today with replacement parts still available. In 2014, SILCA relocated its headquarters and manufacturing to Indianapolis, Indiana, where the brand continues to modernize its heritage of quality cycling products. With over fifteen years of experience in the bicycle industry, Scot Allen began his career in customer service at Zipp before stepping into the role of Territory Manager at SRAM. From there, he spent twelve years as an independent sales representative, managing a broad portfolio of leading bicycle, apparel, and accessory brands across the cycling market. In 2025, he brought that extensive industry knowledge to Silca, joining the team full-time to drive international sales. Outside of work, he is a fan of cats, prefers dogs, and maintains a healthy, non-negotiable fear of snakes.Richard Pool, better known as Bicyclecrumbs, is a cyclist, designer, illustrator, photographer and storyteller whose work celebrates the people, products, and culture of cycling.

But these rides aren't just a simple ride, they are unique approved events with the Randonneurs USA and the Indiana Randonneurs. Self supported long distance cycling events with mandatory checkpoints (controls) that has the riders racing against themselves and the clock. Tommy Southwood has been riding his bike for many years, and has fallen in love with randonneuring and touring. We hope you enjoy this discussion about what randonneuring is and how to get involved.Indiana Randonneurs is a small but mighty club that brings the sport of randonneuring to the state of Indiana. The club is officially recognized by Randonneurs USA (RUSA) and it offers rides that are sanctioned by the Audax Club Parisienne (ACP). In order to participate in Indiana Randonneurs rides, riders must be members of RUSA. https://indianarandonneurs.org/Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring. https://rusa.org/Connect with Tommy today: Thomas.southwood71@gmail.com
