Is The Bike Industry Ripping Us Off? | GCN Show Ep. 565

The bike industry is in crisis, but is it all manufacturers’ fault? On last week’s show we talked about the bikepocalypse hitting the cycling world and you left loads of comments sharing your thoughts. So, we’ve spoken to Cervélo co-founder Gerard Vroomen to find out if bikes really are a rip off. We also have news of a new world record, a $25,000 Lotus e-bike and more.
