Van Der Poel’s Coach Explains How You Should Be Training
Belgian coach Kristof de Kegel has been at the forefront of professional cycling for over a decade. Now a key member of Alpecin–Deceuninck’s management team, he is involved in decision-making processes that shape the form and season direction of the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen.

How One Man Makes Millions Trafficking Stolen Bikes & No One Can Stop Him
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.

Are there roads we shouldn't ride on, even if we legally can?!
