The number one bike tech company in the whole world (ed: ?), Wahoo, has begun legal action against Zwift over alleged patent infringements in the latter’s newly-released Zwift Hub indoor smart trainer. It filed documents in the US District Court for the District of Delaware on October 3. Ohh, filing documents.

British-based cycling wheel brand Parcours yesterday unveiled three brand new high-performance wheel options, which the company says are their faster ever. And that claim appears to be thoroughly backed up: the wheels are the result of a scientific research project conducted in association with Nottingham Trent University and Dr Steve Faulkner to improve aerodynamics and crosswind stability. We’ll get to the details of that further down.
