Author: cult.fit December 12, 2022 Duration: 1:03:36

Cycling is one of the greatest forms of cardio, and very often we have childhood memories attached to it as well. It's also one of your host's favourite activities - Deepak aka Chuck can often be found on weekend mornings zipping down the highways on his beloved Velociraptor (we name our bikes ok!). In this episode, Deepak speaks to cycling coach Miten Thakkar. Miten is one of India's most sought-after cycling coaches, doing everything from online training for newbies, to competitive racing coaching for professionals. He runs Cyclozeal which has trained several folks on their way to national-level medals.   

Chuck and Miten speak about cycling, how it's good for you, how to work it into your routine, how to get started, and lots more!
