Speed VS Style: Fast Cycling Tech That We Just Can't Face Using | GCN Tech Show Ep.175

Clock00:00, Thursday 29th April 2021

There are some bits of cycling tech that are, without question, fast. However, they're not always the most stylish components or bits of kit. This got us thinking: should you prioritise speed or style? On this week's GCN Tech show, Ollie & Alex hear from GCN's resident Fashion expert: Adam Blythe, and the true king of aero: Dan Bigham to see whether speed or style is more important.
