Bike theft decriminalised? Plus NEW Shimano groupset, UCI helmet rules and more…

On this week’s episode of the BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the biggest tech stories in cycling this week.

First up, Jack and Simon discuss the UCI’s recently updated helmet regulations for the 2026 road racing season. As all too often, the updated rules appear to leave plenty of room for riders and teams to be creative – or perhaps even to keep using certain time trial helmets in road races.

They then discuss Shimano’s new polished-silver CUES groupset – could it be a sign of more shiny things to come from the Japanese component giant?

Following that, Jack grills Simon on the latest piece in his series on the ‘state of play’ in hookless rims, and why the professional rider’s union wants to see them banned.

Lastly, Jack introduces last week’s top-performing story on BikeRadar – which also happens to be his ‘rant of the week’ – which was the news that the British Transport Police will not investigate bike thefts at train stations where the bike has been left for more than two hours.

Needless to say, Jack and Simon aren’t impressed.
