Who shot Greg LeMond?

Episode 1

Friday, May 2, 2025 • Duration 01:15:43

Welcome to the first episode of Rabbit Holes, presented by Escape Collective.

In the arc of a life – especially one as rich and eventful as Greg LeMond's - certain stories get lost to the grander narrative. But in 1987, the bigger story was still unwritten. That year – soon after he'd won his first Tour de France, in the prime of his career – Greg LeMond was shot, and almost died.

A Grand Tour champion, violence, drugs, intrigue, rehabilitation, and redemption: this is that story.

Production and sound design by Will and Stuart at Redbricks Media. Music from EpidemicSound. Thanks to Chris Marshall-Bell.

The beginner's guide to pro cycling

Episode 2

Thursday, July 3, 2025 • Duration 54:02

Cycling's a beautiful sport. It's also a nightmare for new fans to get into – a mess of jargon, history, and tactics. Journalism professor (and new cycling fan) Holly Johnson has questions, and together with Iain Treloar, is on a mission to decipher pro cycling. In the first episode of this Rabbit Holes podcast offshoot: a chat with EF Education-Easypost CEO Jonathan Vaughters about how teams work.

What's it like buying a bike on AliExpress?

Episode 4

Monday, December 1, 2025 • Duration 32:58

Welcome back to the Rabbit Holes podcast! This episode is an audio version of one of Iain's investigations – a journey into the vast bike industry ecosystem that is AliExpress.

What's it like buying a bike from the platform? How do you know if you'll end up with something good? And, is it possible to end up with something you'll actually want to ride at the end of it all? We get our credit card out and go shopping ... and it's fair to say, it's a pretty bumpy ride.

What's up with all that fake cycling news?

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 31:12

Iain investigates a series of Facebook pages pushing fake news about pro cycling – and stumbles on a vast operation producing thousands of stories in multiple languages across numerous niches. Which is pretty weird – and it only gets stranger, and scarier, from there.
