Spencer Powlison exists at a powerhouse crossroads in the cycling industry.  He was the news director at VeloNews Magazine; an editor for The Pros' Closet; a cyclocross racer, gravel racer, and now motorcycle guru.

But this new venture for Powlison, Direct-Current.bike, takes him off his usual beaten path. While Powlison can claim victories on a wide variety of surfaces and bicycle styles, eMTB wasn't much on his radar until recently.

In his pursuit to learn something new and dive headlong into the nuts and bolts of it all, Powlison became an eMTB enthusiast. That led him to do what he does best: write about his experiences. 

Spencer Powlison joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about his new media title, Direct-Current.bike. Powlison gives us the lo-down on what he intends to do differently with his eMTB reviews. On top of that, Powlison gives his take on some of the hot topics surrounding eMTB.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
