Are we actually getting any faster? Or is the better tech the only reason records are getting broken and average speeds are increasing? Let us know your thoughts!

No-one can deny that cycling is getting faster every year. The average speeds in the Tour de France are faster than ever (if you exclude a period in the 90s and early 2000s), world records are broken in almost every track race, but are humans actually getting fitter and stronger? We'd love to know your opinion on whether humans are getting stronger, or we're only getting faster because of new tech?

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?

It's a question we've all asked ourselves, if money were no object 'what would a dream bike build be?'. Well, thanks to @CampagnoloSrl Alex has had the opportunity to do exactly that! Check out part one where he starts off this epic build...
