Nerd Alert podcast: Should more people consider a custom bike instead of a production one?


There’s a new custom bike show in the works for 2023 called Made, which will be based in Portland, Oregon, and will be held outdoors.

Upstart brand Aerosensor also has a new portable device that claims to deliver aerodynamic drag data in real-time, and we wonder what LeBron James’s US$30m investment in Canyon Bicycles will mean moving forward.

And seeing as how we finally have Caley back, all of our answers for this week’s Ask a Mechanic segment — naturally — involves a hammer.
