Pro cyclists are always looking to gain every legal advantage possible, which means stretching the rules to the max! On this week’s show, we discuss different UCI rule loopholes, or, ahem, “reach-arounds” if you’re Ollie, including narrow handlebars, crotchless aero pants and more! We also look at the world’s shortest cranks and a do-it-all utility bike from Specialized. 00:00 Intro 00:51 Most Desirable Bike in the World 01:27 UCI Loopholes 12:12 Global Bike Festival competition 13:29 Orbea Gain competition 14:26 Hot Tech 23:44 Comments of the Week 27:59 Bike Vault Useful Links: GCN+ | Every.
