Ollie and Alex are back with loads of hot new bike tech this week, including a new time trial helmet, a new gravel bike AND a new time trial bike which means the death of rim brakes is looming larger than ever before… plus they discuss how to protect your bike from thieves and hopefully prevent your bike from being stolen.
How do you keep your bike safe at the cafe? I would love to calculate my power but I don't have a power meter! Is being a heavier cyclist making indoor riding less comfortable?
