Why hi-vis isn’t a silver bullet for cycling safety (and what to do instead)

Why hi-vis isn’t a silver bullet for cycling safety (and what to do instead)

In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss this week’s biggest tech stories in cycling. Kicking things off is the news that while hi-vis clothing may not be the secret to staying safe while riding, biomotion could be. Next up, the two discuss Schmolke’s new TLO 50 wheelset, which is claimed to be the lightest aero disc brake wheelset in the world, and Garmin’s latest software updates for its Edge bike computers. For our ‘rant of the week’, Jack and Simon bemoan the UK government’s rumoured intention to cap the value of Cycle to Work purchases, due to concerns some are taking advantage of the scheme to buy “luxury leisure” bikes. Finally, we finish with our top story from last week – which was a feature on the Core sensor, a body temperature sensor used by the likes of Tadej Pogačar and other pro cyclists.
