Show Notes
This week the lads debate whether wearing a helmet is really as safe as we think, after shocking new research shows drivers view cyclists wearing safety gear as ‘less human’. Plus they chat about the drama at the cancelled Tour Féminin des Pyrénées, the rise of 1x and how GCN caused beef over a crankset (you can watch the original video here)
