The Spokesmen Cycling Roundtable Podcast is an audio podcast featuring cycling media personalities, manufacturers, observers, and others. We record in a roundtable format and discuss the cycling news of the day.
The Spokesmen
David Bernstein host and producer
David lives in Park City, Utah, with his wife and daughters. He is a former bicycle industry executive and a pioneer in the cycling podcast space. His regular show, The FredCast Cycling Podcast, is one of the most popular cycling-related audio programs available and is now in its fifth year of production. David freely admits that The Spokesmen is modeled after Leo Laporte’s This Week in Tech podcast.
David started cycling in 1989 when he first entered the bike business and became the Director of Advertising and Promotions for Tioga Bicycle Components and Shogun Bicycles. Later, he formed an independent advertising and marketing firm, helping to create and enhance several well-known brands of bicycles and components such as Full Speed Ahead (FSA). David enjoys long road rides on his Colnago C40, singletrack on his Haro Sonix S mountain bike, and tooling around various domestic and international travel destinations on his Dahon Speed Pro TT. He is also an avid supporter of BikeMS, benefitting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
