As of Monday, February 10, carbon monoxide rebreathing will be officially banned by the UCI. That means you have one final weekend of inhaling poison gas before the totalitarians in Switzerland make it so that you have to breathe normal stuff like air and snozzberry nicotine vapes. Carbon monoxide rebreathing can be used to optimize altitude training, “artificially increasing performances.” We used scare quotes there because the cornerstone of this entire website is an essay about how we define natural performances.

It’s 2025. You visit your favorite brick and mortar website once a business quarter, because the entire internet is contained within a total of three platforms. This isn’t a manifesto for doing things differently–at this point we’re more inclined to fully unplug and live on the side of a remote mountain–but just to let you know that Cyclry will look different the next time you visit it, in December 2025 or something, probably. And it might also look different and broken if you show up before then. We’re not using a staging environment because they’re for cowards, and we’ll inevitably…
Cycling Time Trials (CTT) has launched a new website along with a full rebrand, its first since 2016. CTT tells us “this digital transformation brings a modern, user-friendly experience that reflects CTT’s vision for the future of the sport.” The new website, now live, offers improved functionality including integration with social media. They tell us that “the platform’s enhanced content management system also allows for easier updates and future adaptability, setting the stage for exciting developments in the years ahead,” which is the type of thing we’d roll our eyes at and say “you’re externalizing internal processes” when we used…
INEOS Grenadiers–Britain’s only UCI WorldTour team sponsored by a possibly imaginary 4×4 invented by your favorite Brexiteer oil baron Manchester United fan–have announced a bold new partnership that delivers a branded backpack. Don’t think corporate retreat or lazy journo swag, this is properly exciting stuff, presumably, and we’ll know why when we finish reading the press release. So hold up for five minutes if you have the Cyclry CLM+ membership tier that lets you read our articles in real-time as we write them. Alright, we’re done reading. It’s a bag that has the INEOS Grenadiers logo as a patch. And…
Valerio Boni, a 65-year-old journalist and six-time Guinness World Records holder, has made history once again. During the weekend of November 30 to December 1, 2024, he achieved three new distance records on an eBike, setting benchmarks that redefine the limits of endurance cycling. The records achieved in a single event are as follows: The event took place in Segrate, a town near Milan, on a closed section of road designed as a future connection for Milan’s East Ring Road. The road, generously made available by Milano Tangenziali, provided an ideal yet unconventional setting for this extraordinary feat. The choice…
After a couple of months of hype, a bunch of leaks (having been on both sides of it, we know that’s tricky to avoid), and a bunch of connections on LinkedIn saying it was the most exciting marketing project they’d ever been part of, Wahoo’s newest–and some might say, long overdue–bike computer update arrived this week. The Wahoo ELEMNT Ace is here. It’s big, bold, and bright. And pretty expensive. Here’s the full deal. Or at least most of the deal, until they send us a full review unit for long enough to do a deep dive. Wahoo ELEMNT Ace…
