Join me, Matt Barbet, as I ride with some of the most interesting people in cycling, and others who like to get out on the bike, on the roads they know best. It's not about the most majestic mountains, or the routes of famous races, but the rides we all enjoy: the ones that begin at home - and it's when we're in the saddle, that the stories start to come out.

For all the wrong reasons, Shanaze Reade was once labelled a rockstar. In this episode of Home Roads, you'll hear she really is a star for all the right reasons. Born in Crewe to a white teenage mum and a black dad she hardly saw, Shanaze didn't let being a mixed race girl in a world dominated by white middle class boys stop her. She went on to compete at the very highest level, not just in her first discipline of BMX but also on the velodrome track too, and to great success. It took it's toll though, and in this interview recorded while coronavirus restrictions prevented us from riding together, she reveals how she overcame several challenges to come out of the other side as a winner, but also a happier, healthier woman.

MASH in San Francisco on lockdown
Starting in San Francisco in the mid-2000s as a loose group of fixie racers, MASH gained global attention by pushing their track bikes to the limits and filming their exploits in the way skaters had previously. With pro-cycling at the time obsessed with performance and tarnished by cheating, they were the antidote that reminded people just how fun riding and racing could be, pure and simple. It led to highly-desirable frame collaborations with Cinelli, a physical store on Sanchez Street and hundreds of thousands of followers around the World. For this episode, recorded remotely during the global pandemic lockdown, I caught up with founder Mike Martin and rider Chas Christiensen at their homes in California to hear the story of MASH.

Tom Pidcock in Yorkshire on lockdown
Tom Pidcock is the most exciting young cycling talent to emerge in the UK in the last couple of years, but really, it's in the mud and under the grey skies of continental Europe where he has impressed the most. Getting silver early in 2020 at the cyclocross world championships in Switzerland was the first time a Brit broke the stranglehold the Dutch and Belgians have had on the podium. Normally at this time of year, Flanders is home for Tom, but the pandemic sweeping the planet meant he headed back to the family house in Leeds in Yorkshire, where he spoke to me from the dining room turned pain cave.
