The hosts dive into the sudden changes from Shimano that are shaking up the cycling world. They also discuss the growing problem of stolen team bikes and the controversial departure of Canyon's CEO. A humor-filled analysis of cycling clubs reveals the need for inclusivity, while a passionate debate emerges on cycling headwinds and their surprising benefits. Additionally, a look at innovative cargo bike conversion kits and the evolution of pedal systems keeps the conversation lively and relevant.
