Geek Warning<\/a><\/p>\n

Rob English and Josh Weinberg join the pod to chat Made 2025.<\/p>\n

\"Escape<\/p>\n

The Portland-based Made show has wrapped up for another year, and our website has been buzzing with coverage from the handmade bike event.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s Geek Warning is a bit different from the usual format, with the conversation focused mainly on what was seen at Made. Here, Dave Rome chats with Escape\u2019s US tech editor Josh Weinberg along with famed framebuilder (and Escape contributor!) Rob English.<\/p>\n

Within you\u2019ll hear about emerging trends from the custom bike world, why Rob believes there are no new ideas left for bicycles, and some of Rob and Josh\u2019s top picks.<\/p>\n

As usual, the episode wraps with our regular Ask a Wrench segment, where Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto) and Dave Rome answer technical questions from Escape members. You\u2019ll need to be on the Escape member podcast feed to listen to this section.<\/p>\n
