philip hindes's video: Steve Bate 2x Paralympic Cycling Champion PC 6

Welcome to another action-packed episode of PodCrash. This week, Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes are joined by two-time Paralympic cycling champion, Steve Bate. Recorded in Bate’s West Yorkshire home, this cycling podcast kicks off with the week’s news; Hindes’ new YouTube videos, the fallout from revealing Kian Emadi’s soft spot for Vicky Williamson and a teaser about Skinners yet-to-be-revealed news. Bate’s then talks about his journey from accomplished mountaineer to cyclist. Having been diagnosed with an eye condition at 35, Bates was told he could go blind within four years. He explains how he dealt with the crushing diagnosis and, with the support of Great Britain Cycling Team rider Karen Darke, focused his energy in a new direction: on the back of the tandem. Can you imagine what it feels like to hurtle down tracks at 70mph - all without being able to see the route clearly? The Kiwi shares some of his most adrenaline-pumping moments riding tandem with Adam Duggleby, including a crash into oncoming traffic, melting tires and cycling 20 hours non-stop. Tune in to discover the toughest thing he’s ever attempted, falling off El Capitan rock faces, racing the Arctic and his passion for tattoos and travel. Having achieved 3 Paralympic Games medals, this world-class athlete was “actually pretty lazy” as a kid, but today, it’s clear to anyone that has seen him pedal; he’s a force to be reckoned with.
