The GCN Show

While investigating bike theft for a video, we spoke with Bryan Hance, a U.S.-based cybersecurity expert and co-founder of Bike Index, a nonprofit dedicated to recovering stolen bikes. With years of experience, he's seen it all—but his biggest case took nearly four years to unravel, exposing a single man behind a $2.1 million bike trafficking operation. 😳 Bryan gives us a peek into the case & reflects on what it means more generally for cycling. 

🎥 Find the show and watch it on YouTube: GCN Show 632 🚴 New research just dropped that might give us some optimism on improving cycling for everyone...but can we actually do anything about it? We hear from one of the authors, who explains how the "loud majority" in local activism doesn’t always reflect what most people want. What role might this play in cycling? 👀 Plus, we've got scary news on car crash prevention systems, an epic comeback story, the end of Netflix's "Unchained", and a roundup of the most hipster gravel and ultra races from last week! ⏱️ Timestamps: ⏱️ 00:00 - Welcome to the GCN Show! 00:48 - This week in the world of cycling 02:08 - New research on the "motonormative" mindset 03:15 - Our interview with Professor Ian Walker 08:02 - What do we make of this? 12:46 - Cycling Shorts 15:30 - Netflix’s “Unchained” cancelled 15:09 - New research on safety tech in cars 16:34 - Do Airtags work for bike tracking? 17:15 - New Silca tubeless sealant 🎉 18:11 - Road, gravel, & ultra racing news 🏁 22:15 - Hack/Bodge of the Week 30:03 - Caption competition 32:24 - Comment of the week 41:05 - This week on GCN Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks 👉 https://gcn.eu/JoinYTmemberships Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing! 👉 https://gcn.eu/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter GCN Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnuploader Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel  👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides Has what Professor Walker shared made you feel more optimistic, or surprised you? 🚗 What do you think?
