Buying Speed? Has Cycling Become An Arms Race? | GCN Show Ep.371

Clock00:00, Tuesday 18th February 2020

It's the GCN Show! This week we ask if cycling has become an arms race, with bikes and components too pricey for the average person in the street? We also have an update from Ollie's hour of power, a new round the world record attempt and a piece of research that says your alarm clock might affect your cycling performance!
