  • He’s 17 and Racing Elites—Now He’s Heading to Italy for a Trial

    He’s 17 and Racing Elites—Now He’s Heading to Italy for a Trial
    Feb 4 2026

    A South African junior cyclist is chasing a European breakthrough — and the biggest hurdle isn’t talent. It’s access.

    In this episode of Active Hobo, Faraz Khatieb shares his origin story: how his dad and brother pulled him into cycling, how his father became his coach and mechanic, and why racing in Europe is a completely different game. Faraz is leaving **26 February** for an **Italy-based trial** with a European team — with Belgium racing on the cards — and he’s doing everything he can to turn a one-month opportunity into a full-season contract.

    You’ll also hear the real behind-the-scenes reality young riders face: the costs of joining teams, the pressure to perform with limited support, and how community fundraising can make (or break) the dream.

    What you’ll hear in this episode:

    - How Faraz got into road cycling (and why he had to “wait his turn”)

    - Dad-as-coach: training structure, recovery days, and race prep

    - Why Europe racing demands race craft, nerve, and positioning—not just fitness

    - The sponsorship problem: how talented riders get stuck behind paywalls

    - The fundraising push to make the Italy trial possible

  • Wearable Cycling Airbag + A Doping Shock in Running | The Breakaway EP2

    Wearable Cycling Airbag + A Doping Shock in Running | The Breakaway EP2
    Jan 22 2026
    Cycling airbag tech is no longer sci-fi. In Episode 2 of The Breakaway, the guys unpack the “Aero Bag” — a wearable airbag integrated into bibs that pro teams are already testing — and ask the real question: is this the biggest safety leap since helmets, or a false-deployment disaster waiting to happen? Then the conversation pivots to a running doping provisional suspension and why headlines can poison a sport’s credibility long before the facts are clear. From there, it’s a full “Peloton Bulletin” week: Tour Down Under reactions (including the women’s race format debate), Western Cape & Gauteng champs talk (plus road-closure frustrations), and the kind of race calendar that makes January feel like mid-season. The most serious moment lands hard: a story of a cyclist killed by a drunk driver, and a call for the active community to mobilize—because outrage without action changes nothing.
