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.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
