Mountain biking, bike culture, community rides, and global cycling stories — Thule Outdoor Club News follows riders from South Africa to California, Japan, and Sweden to explore one simple idea: why we ride.
Hosted by Casey Brown, this episode brings together athletes, ambassadors, and communities connected through life on two wheels. We begin in South Africa with Jolanda Neff as she prepares for the upcoming season, before heading to Sea Otter Classic alongside Thule bike ambassadors in the US.
From there, riders reflect on freedom, progression, and the role cycling plays in everyday life. We also explore family life outdoors, Japan’s unique bike culture, and grassroots community riding in Sweden with Linda Jacobsson.
The episode closes with Helene Ripa sharing her perspective on motivation, resilience, and continuing to move forward through sport and outdoor life.
Thule Outdoor Club News is a monthly ambassador-led editorial series exploring biking, skiing, travel, and outdoor culture around the world.
