This PROVES Time Trial Bikes Should Be BANNED!

The BikeRadar podcast is back again, with Simon von Bromley joining Jack Luke to discuss the hottest tech stories in cycling.

With the Tour Down Under kicking off the WorldTour season in Australia, pro racing is back. The race once again opened with a road bike time trial, which Simon thinks is fantastic.

Jack and Simon are less enamoured with Van Rysel’s recently revealed FTP2 concept e-road bike, however. Having caught plenty of attention online, Simon explains why he thinks it shows Van Rysel doesn’t understand what bike racing is really all about.

Following this is the news that Canyon is looking to cut 320 jobs from its workforce – is this simply a post-COVID correction or a sign of something worse?

For our rant of the week Jack and Simon discuss 32in wheels – the bike industry seems convinced, but we’re not so sure.

We finish up with last week’s top tech story, which was the Aerobag airbag for cyclists. Spotted by Jack at the Velofollies trade show in Belgium, it does exactly what it says on the tin, and apparently already has backing from a WorldTour team. Is this the future of cycling safety? Tune in to find out.
