Velo Podcast - A podcast by Velo

U.S. bike shop chain Performance Bicycle is shutting down all of its brick and mortar stores, leaving 1,700 people out of jobs. We talk to Steve Frotheringham, editor in chief at Bicycle Retailer & Industry News, to learn the backstory. After that, we discuss USA Cycling's recently announced selection criteria for the cross-country mountain bike races at the 2020 Olympics. How will the team get picked? Which riders are likely to represent Team USA in Tokyo?
