Airbags In Races - Good Idea Or Over Inflated? | GCN Tech Show Ep. 428

This week on the GCN Tech Show, we dive into the UCI's new initiative to develop airbags for professional cycling in an effort to improve rider safety. We also take a look at the surprise launch of the new Shimano Tiagra groupset and a budget-friendly cleat-based power meter from Cyclowatt. Plus, we have the latest from the Bike Vault, a chance to win Core 2 thermal sensors, and we revisit the infamous WD-40 debate!
