Issue 136: Make sure you pick up a copy of the new issue at your local bike shop or check out the digital edition for free. Our 5×5 feature for this issue is all about museums, and riding your bike to museums. We think visiting museums is important for experiencing art and culture, and in this feature, we include information on free admission days and the bikes we rode on to get there.

Bradley Wiggins and WADA Hack: When the WADA was hacked there were many records released to the public that revealed the medical history of the cyclists participating in the 2016 Olympic Games. We focus in on Bradley Wiggins, who’s medical records showed that he was given permission to inject the banned drug triamcinolone days before three major races – including the 2012 Tour de France. On September 23rd, Wiggins appeared on the Andrew Marr Show to talk about the necessity for the injection of the corticosteroid.

Spitting in the Soup: We talk about a book Kelley is reading entitled Spitting in the Soup by Mark Johnson, released July 2016. It brings up some interesting – and often not discussed – insights about the history behind the stigma of performance-enhancing drugs. We mention the first modern Olympics, organized by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France in 1896. We talk about how Coubertin ideals and vision for the Olympics have influenced the sport today. We end our show with a discussion about ‘clean sport’ vs ‘unclean’ sport.
