Rouleur podcast: Desire special

The Rouleur crew pick their favourite bikes and kit from the new Desire issue. And photographer Benedict Campbell shares his top tips for shooting your pride and joy



In a special edition of the podcast to tie in with the magazine’s Desire issue, presenter Ian Parkinson is joined by Managing Editor Ian Cleverly, Desire Editor Stuart Clapp, Desire Model and Guru of Gear, Miles Baker Clarke and top photographer Benedict Campbell.


What are the latest trends in bikes and kits? How do you take pictures of your pride and joy? Are 650B wheels really the future? What’s wrong with wearing pro kit if you’re not a pro rider? And crucially, why are gravel bars that funny shape?
