After CES and our smart bike tech videos last week, a few commenters let us know that this IS NOT the way forward for cycling. So, we thought that we should talk about that. Is cycling your escape from tech? Does tech help you to get more from cycling? And, finally, will too much smart tech kill the sport that we all love? Get involved down in the comments. 👇
The Tour Down Under has kicked off the UCI WorldTour season. We're going to have race reports running throughout the race – tell us you predictions down in the comments.
As usual, we have all of your favourites including tech of the week (it's not smart tech), hack, bodge, tweet and comment of the week.
