Hey everyone, Tim here — and today I’m joined by Tour de France champion Patty Peoples, who rode in the historic 1984 Women’s Tour de France. In this video, Patty opens up about the early days of women’s cycling, the challenges they faced, and how far the sport has come with the Tour de France Femmes.
We dive into what it would take for the women’s Tour to reach the same number of stages as the men’s, why sponsorship and community support are key, and how the athletes themselves are ready for the challenge. Patty also shares behind-the-scenes stories of racing in the 1980s — from washing kits in hotel sinks to grinding on steel bikes with downtube shifters.
We also explore the vital but often overlooked role of the domestiques, the unsung heroes of cycling teams. Plus, Patty explains how her background in triathlon shaped her as a rider, and why cross-training can give cyclists an edge in endurance, injury prevention, and performance. If you’re passionate about cycling history, women’s sports, or the strategy behind stage racing, this conversation is a must-watch.

Ever wondered how much bike fitting has changed since the 80s? 🚴 In this video, I sit down with Patty People to compare bike fit then vs. now, dive deep into the debate on crank length, and explore how cycling technology has completely transformed the way we ride.
We’ll look back at what bike fitting used to be—basic setups, limited options, and often a “one-size-fits-all” mentality—and contrast it with today’s advanced bike fitting techniques that focus on efficiency, comfort, and performance. Whether you’re a road cyclist, mountain biker, or someone exploring the rise of E-bikes, you’ll learn why proper bike fit is more important than ever.
We also unpack the evolution of cycling tech: from traditional cranksets to adjustable cranks, from steel frames to carbon fiber, and of course, the massive growth of E-bikes. Patty shares personal insights and experiences that make this both an educational and inspiring conversation for any cyclist.
👉 If you’ve ever struggled with knee pain, wondered if crank length really matters, or are curious about how E-bikes are shaping the future of cycling, this interview is for you.

Welcome back! Today we’ve got Bob in the studio again—yes, that Bob from our blind crank length test video that now has over 14,000 views and 123+ comments. 🚴♂️
It’s been a year since that test, and Bob has quite the update. If you remember, he was recovering from a serious crash—broken ribs, collarbone, and shoulder blade. At that time, we experimented with shorter cranks, and he landed on 165mm.
Now, after months of real-world riding, Bob is here to share how those 165s feel on the road: easier climbing, smoother pedaling, and even more fun. He’s noticed better hip angle, more stability, and less pain—especially on those dreaded long climbs.
We’ll answer your top questions from the comments: 👉 Do shorter cranks require gearing changes? 👉 How does crank length affect climbing and stability? 👉 Is switching worth it even if you don’t have injuries? 👉 What’s the real difference between 155mm, 160mm, 165mm, and 172.5mm?
At 78 years old (soon to be 79!), Bob also shares his cycling tips for staying fit, the role of indoor training apps like Rouvy, and why cutting out sugar completely changed his performance.
If you’ve been curious about shorter cranks—or just need some inspiration to keep riding into your 70s and beyond—this update is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

I’m Tim Gresh, professional bike fitter in Southeastern PA, and in this video, I’m joined by legendary Tour de France rider Patty Peoples as we test different bike crank lengths—from her longtime 172.5mm setup to a shorter 160mm crank. We dive deep into how crank arm length affects power, cadence, hip angle, and bike fit, plus Patty shares her real-time impressions while pedaling with mismatched crank lengths. You’ll also get a bonus review of the SMP 30C women’s saddle, one of my top picks for comfort and pelvic stability. Whether you’re training for a road race, triathlon, or just want to be more efficient on the bike, this test reveals how shorter cranks can help with hip mobility, reduce rocking, and potentially save energy—even for riders with 40+ years of muscle memory. Thinking about switching your crank length?

If your feet are going numb, burning up with hot spots, or just plain uncomfortable in your cycling shoes—this video is for you. I’m Tim Gresh, professional bike fitter here in southeastern Pennsylvania, and today I’m breaking down why arch support matters so much in cycling and sharing my top 4 insole picks that I personally use and recommend. Cycling shoes are designed to be stiff, which is great for power—but terrible for natural foot movement. That’s where proper arch support comes in. It helps bring back proprioception, evens out pressure, and keeps your feet happier on the bike. I’ll walk you through four insoles: The modular G8 Performance The now-rare but solid Soft Sole The stiff and Sidas Sim And my personal go-to: the Icebug Slim I cover the pros, cons, fit, durability, arch height, and even how thick each one is—because yes, that matters when you're trying to fit them into cycling shoes. Whether you're a roadie, mountain biker, or gravel grinder, this guide will help you choose an insole that actually works—not one meant for walking.

In this video, I’m breaking down how I modified a Wahoo KICKR Bike into my own custom sizing cycle.
