    For people who like bikes!
    This podcast is about anything bikes. It’s not about racing, going faster, or getting fit in 6 weeks. It’s about bike history, present and future. It’s about people who like bikes and their stories. It’s about having fun on bikes. It’s good bike karma.

    This podcast is a gem!
    Found this podcast recently, and after listening to a few of the newer episodes, I decided to start from the beginning of the back catalogue and hear them all. What a delightful glimmer of positivity in the world! As a bicycle commuter, casual MTB and gravel rider, aspiring tourer and general bicycle enthusiast, I love the variety of stories and good-natured humor. Thanks for the stickers!

    Great Podcast, Fantastic Info and Stories!
    Greetings, I've recently discovered this podcast and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I used to listen to the Fredcast years ago and when it ended, I tried to find a new bicycling podcast..but I gave up. These stories are great and the info is extremely useful for the beginner and the more experienced riders. I commute by bike to work (school; I'm a teacher) about 11 miles a day and listen to the podcast on my ride. Thank you and keep up the interesting work. G. Polly

    Talk about karma and then you leave your dumb advert stickers all over the trail. What happened to leave no trace??

    Great podcast!
    I love this podcast! I always listen when I’m on a ride which just seems appropriate 😁 Tom does a great job of blending quality with variety. I’m constantly amazed by the stories he tells. If you have any interest in any aspect of cycling you should definitely give a listen.

    Fantastic
    A well rounded podcast for all things cycling. The range of guests conversations cover many different aspects of cycling- there’s something here for everyone. I come away either learning something new or feeling inspired to go for a spin. Thank you, Tom!

    This is by far my favorite podcast! Listening to this show is like going on a chill ride with a good friend.

    Bike stories for all and anybody who has ever smiled on a bike!
    Well produced and written. Tom is entertaining, knowledgeable and seeks out stories we can all relate to or at least learn from. Love his soothing voice and the way he interviews by basically letting his guest tell their story with barely an interruption unless he needs clarification on something. Still trying to catch up on the previous episodes as I just discovered Bike Karma stories a month ago. Oh yea, great music too!
  • HillsboroBill
    Good stuff!
    Great stories and information. Interesting guests. Thanks!
  • NemoRCs
    Not your ordinary bike podcast
    Excellent audio quality. Great stories. I dig it! Too many bike podcasts are very similar. This one is easy on the ears! Cheers!

    Great podcast about bikes!
    Tom is awesome & this podcast is a fave!! I’m always happy for a new episode! I love the content, and the music makes me smile. The bell transition sound is the absolute best. I appreciate his content & personality, his voice is also super easy to listen to! I recommend!!

    Perfect for commuting
    I strongly advocate using all of my senses when riding a bike but The Bike Karma podcast is great for the pedal home. Cheerful about all forms of cycling, covers quirky happenings, features epic stories and shares bitter truths about bikes and the bike scene. One of the only podcasts I listen to!
  • 毕天奇
    A gem of a show
    This podcast isn’t just one of the best of the cycling genre – it represents the best of humanity. The host is clearly such a kind, generous, and curious person. The awe he experiences in biking and people comes through in every show. Must listen!
  • niles d
    A worthwhile engaging listen.
    I’m a little sad when the ending music begins to play because it’s the end of the episode, but then I linger over the stories we heard and the people we met over the past hour or so and I don’t feel so bad. Then I cue up the next episode and the intro music starts to play, and I smile.
  • bikingplumber
    New listener.
    I just started listening to the podcast and I love it! I binged on it during a 4 hr. drive this past weekend. I really enjoy the varied content, it touches on so many different aspects of biking. Keep up the great work!
  • desrt mantis
    Enjoyable and not overwhelming
    I enjoy the story telling about my favorite pastime. Many of the other podcasts get too technical for my taste.
  • kommuter
    I thought it was my conscience speaking...
    Till I remembered, I DON’T HAVE ONE! It’s just an awesome podcast that says what we’re all thinking, or at least, what our bikes are thinking 🤔
  • Gruffinpuff
    Love it!
    I found this podcast a few months back and listened to some of the recent episodes. Recently, with being on lockdown, I began listening from the very first episode and I do not regret it. I hope that you continue for a while to come. Fingers crossed Oprah finds you if she hasn’t already.

    Wheelie Fun Podcast!
    “One of the best bike podcasts out there! It’s like 99% Invisible goes for a bike ride. I listen to it on my bike commute!” -Wesley Cheney, Tell Me About Your Bike Podcast

    Awesome stories from around the world
    Really cool stuff from all over the world. I especially loved hearing about the killer kangaroos

    Refreshing podcast
    What a great balance of interviews, personal stories and music. It has been a nice mix of guests and stories. Thanks for all of your hard work.
  • Jleeduke
    A treasure!
    Wonderful stories about all kinds of cyclists and all kinds of bikes. The love and care for each person’s story really comes through on every episode. You must check this out!
  • Jason aka Jen
    Best podcast about bicycles!
    I just recently found this gem of a podcast. Best one about cycling and bicycles. I like it so much I’m starting from the beginning and listening to all of the episodes.
  • ChrisInColOhio
    Great bike show for everyone
    Really enjoy this show, it’s not specific to any one type of riding, but interesting stories that anyone who likes bikes can get into! And the April comedy shows always give me a good laugh 😅
  • CarCampers
    Chill
    Cool, chill bike show. Love it!
  • Kirby B.
    It’s fun
    I really like the attitude and environment. The music is charmingly tacky, the editing is good, and the quality is good as well. I like his inclusivity of all camps within cycling. He may not be the most knowledgeable tech, but he is charming and brings good vibes. Good work 👍
  • uhhuhyup
    All bikes and cyclists are welcome here
    Tom has a great approach to bikes. Instead of falling into a niche like road, mountain, or what have you, he is all inclusive. All things bike are welcomed here on this podcast. This is an attitude that I wish were more common in cycling generally speaking. The show is well produced with a lot of effort put into post-production.
  • Lughnerson
    The Best!
    I try all the bicycle related podcasts. This one, Bike Karma, and Bike Shop CX are my two favorites. Bike Karma is about the stories, not the host, and the stories are varied. Just give it a try.
  • Stevebobeve
    Super Duper!!!!
    Awesome podcast! I'm learning a lot about all kinds of different cyclists. I wish I had found this over a year ago. Better late than never. Been binge listening to catch up.
  • Ggswtncddydsdcc
    Very interesting Podcast!
    Thanks for the info on interesting topics!
  • D-Mar-Lew
    Informative podcast
    I have been listening to this podcast for several weeks and I enjoy how Tom covers all aspects of the bicycle culture.
  • Joey JOe joE LoL
    He's my teacher!

    A breath of fresh air
    This is such a great departure from the fanboy and product marketing so common in bicycling podcasts. Thank you Thomas for sharing your deep love of all things that make cycling real and wonderful, with your sense of humor.
  • slojesse
    I'm lovin' it
    Hey Tom, I've really enjoyed listening to your podcast, I like hearing you talk about bikes and bike culture in such a mellow way, and from all points of view. I'm glad you put out this explanation of the whole podcast, it was a very heartfelt vibe with the family dynamic. Keep it up! -slojesse
  • Justin K. (South CT)
    Very fun and informative
    This podcast is great as it sheds light and education on bicycles and BMX. Being a long time BMX rider it is an easy and fun way to get educated on the evolution of BMX and the bicycle community as a whole and the roles it had and continued to play, thanks a lot!
  • HarrisTweeter
    Awesome!
    Most cycling podcasts are too race oriented. This podcast covers everything else about cycling. My favorite episode had a segment about towing a washing machine by bike. I never know what to expect other than each new episode will be delightful!
  • Austro84
    The Fresh Air of Bikes!
    Who needs Terry Gross when you have Tom Brown asking the questions that get to the heart of Bike Culture? A fine podcast that provides candid, helpful and fun insight to our bikes and ourselves.
  • Ginnywinnybobinny
    a breath of fresh air!
    I'm so relieved to find a bike podcast that isn't just roadies talking about training! Covers a wide breadth of topics with genuine excitement and curiosity. It's casual enough for new riders, but detaled and diverse enough to keep anyone engaged with interviews, musings, and occasionally hamming it up with a goofy skit. He has the amazing ability to poke fun at all types of cyclists in a playful, friendly way. Feels very personal, intimate, and relatable.
  • Gromdad2000 and DDRBMX on IG
    Diversity in action
    I enjoy this podcast because Tom doesn't pretend to be an expert but delves into tech, bike history and experiences that we can all relate to at some point in our lives...or maybe have yet to! I'm a BMXer and still find all of the subject matter interesting because it ISN'T in my wheelhouse. Approach your listening this way and enjoy! Thanks Tom
  • ooohyea
    Yes, I like the bikes
    Great pod about cycling that covers all different aspects of the bike world. People who are into bikes will be into this show when they hear it.
  • Harrison Ford Taurus
    get out of my head
    I can’t help but laugh as this podcast. its as if it was able to hear my thoughts thought my journey to becoming a cyclist. From the first rides, to the first swap meets, to bike hoarding i love the articulation of these stories, (and a bit glad to know I am not the only one who behaves this way) Keep up the great job.
