Edit: It's bikeforums.net who is embedding code that is routing links to viglink.com

<script type="text/javascript"> pxlSiteFile = "bikeforums.net.js"; pxlScriptStart = '%3Cscr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript"'; pxlScriptEnd = '%3C/scr' + 'ipt%3E'; if (location.protocol.indexOf("https") == -1) { document.write(unescape(pxlScriptStart + ' src="http://pxl.ibpxl.com/'+pxlSiteFile+'"%3E'+pxlScriptEnd)); ** else { document.write(unescape(pxlScriptStart + ' src="https://pxlssl.ibpxl.com/'+pxlSiteFile+'"%3E'+pxlScriptEnd)); **
</script>
<!-- / Plugin: IBPxl -->
<!-- VigLink: http://viglink.com -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> var DR_id = "1050";</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.viglink.com/api/merged.js"></script>
<!-- end VigLink -->
</body>
it's called link skimming and is being by bikeforums to generate revenue. So just a warning, when you see a link on bikeforums.net, open up a new tab and type the address in the address bar.

Not the fault of cycling360podcast.com at all and I look forward to listening to the podcast. Thanks.
