    Adventures on the bike
    I came across Seek Travel Ride about six months ago and I thoroughly love this podcast. Bella’s passion, humor, and insightful questions make her an excellent host. Bella and her guests continue to inspire me to have my own adventures but also to remember that there are wonderful people in this world.

    Inspired To Ride
    Bella and her guests open up the world of traveling and seeing the world by bicycle. She covers the spectrum of cycling approaches and does an excellent job of getting the best stories and information from each guest. I’m finding inspiration to expand my cycling through this podcast.

    Thought-Provoking Storyteller and Visionary - Adventure-Chills!
    Bella’s podcast is truly a gem in today’s world of storytelling. Her conversations are an art form and talent. She weaves thoughtfully questions that are well-researched and inquisitive. It’s beyond impressive that this is an independent podcast, self-created from script to edit to finding two-wheeled traveling guests around the globe, and I commend Bella for crafting a truly unique angle on the world of bicycle travel. She eases her listeners in with a non-barrier to entry style, making everyone feel welcome to the secrets that her guests reveal. What I’m most impacted about is Seek Travel Ride’s intention to share the power of human-powered travel in an honest and open conversation - it shines through every fiber of this podcast. This is a truly powerful podcast that will most definitely induce adventure chills and stir minds into movement. Warning: listening will make you want to pursue the life you’ve always dreamt of!

    Engaging long-form storytelling
    Bella Molloy’s natural curiosity and passion for the subject matter enables her—and the listener—to dive deep into her guest’s experiences, revealing far more about their adventures than a checklist of accomplishments.

    Woo hoo!
    As someone who made two cross United States cycle camping trips in my twenties, and who now, as a fifty something dad, with some fitness left and kids who’ve almost left!, I am thrilled to have found Bella Molloy’s brilliant podcast about cycling, camping, and human nature, as inspiration for more cycling trips! Bella does a great job of drawing out the beautiful, intense, gritty, soul expanding stories of her amazing cycling guests.

    So inspiring
    Clair, I love your podcast. I have dreamed of leaving everything behind an getting on my bike, (my happy place) to see where a year of peddling takes me. Your guests may be just the inspiration
  • ericpoli
    Simply Inspiring
    I am not into adventure cycling myself, but all of these stories are fascinating and inspiring. Bella does an excellent job of brining out the humanity and passion for life from each of her guests. Even if you are not planning an epic bike journey, listening to this podcast will set your eyes on your own goals and passions while illuminating a path to them that you will find yourself eager to set out on.
