This week on EYE ON NPI we're featuring some open source hardware from one of our favorite hardware manufacturers! It's the Arduino Nano R4 System on Module (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/arduino/nano-r4) a miniaturized version of the Arduino UNO R4 and Minima (https://blog.adafruit.com/2023/07/27/eye-on-npi-arduino-uno-r4-minima-and-uno-r4-wifi-boards-digikey-arduino-digikey-adafruit/) versions we covered on EYE ON NPI about two years ago! taking a cue from popular 'castellated single side' PCB proto boards on the market, the Nano comes in two options, one with headers (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00143/26766495) for easy installation into existing Arduino Nano expansion kits or breadboards, and one with reflowable castellations (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00142/26766490) The Arduino Nano (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/A000005/2638989) is second only to the UNO as the definitive Arduino board that 'everyone got started with'. Many folks would start with the chunky UNO and then migrate to the Nano to get something that plugs into a breadboard for compact assembly. With a USB connector on one end, button and LEDs and programming header on the top, this board powered tens of thousands of builds. So it's not surprising that Arduino iterated on this design with a wide variety of chips like the RP2040 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00052/14123941) and ESP32 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00092/21219771) The latest generation is the Renesas RA4M1 series - which updates the original ATmega328 8-bit microcontroller to a beefy Cortex M4 with FPU. You get 48MHz clock, 256KB of Flash, 32KB of SRAM, ADC, DAC, CAN, captouch and other extras. The FPU in particular makes it a nice upgrade to the cortex M0/M0+. The best part is that with the 5V logic support of the R7FA4M1AB3CFM (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/renesas-electronics-corporation/R7FA4M1AB3CFM-AA0/10447195), it makes for a great drop-in replacement when a 3V logic chip like the RP2040/ESP32 won't work as well. Plus you get lots of nice linear ADCs, the RP2040 only has 4 and the ESP32's are non-linear and sometimes don't work when WiFi is active. We also love that they added a Qwiic (https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic) connector on the end! We use this for all our Stemma QT sensors, and between the many companies that have joined in the ecosystem there are easily a thousand different ons/displays/accessories that can plug in directly for instant expansion. If you want to get the latest Nano from the manufacturer of genuine Arduino boards, DigiKey is a authentic distributor and has tons of the Arduino Nano R4 (https://www.digikey.com/short/3brjrnjp) in stock right now for (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ASX00061/26744081) immediate shipment! Pick from the castellated flat or soldered-header variety, and don't forget to also grab some Arduino Nano accessories to get your design prototyped fast. Order today and your Nano will fly out of the DigiKey warehouse and arrive at your doorstep by tomorrow morning.
What up party people. Welcome back for another episode of the Bonk Bros podcast and I hope you're not sick of Leadville talk just yet because we've got plenty more of that packed in this week. There's crashes, there's course records, there's controversial DQs, and Dylan's giant bag of emotions, plus plenty more so stay tuned for it. Shout out to everyone we ran into this past weekend while out in Cloud City, it's always so fun and cool to mingle with the fans and hear about some of your favorite takes from the show. Speaking of running into people, DJ and I also got to meet Adam Barker, founder of Bolt Skin + Shave, for the first time in person at their expo booth and he was stoked about how many of y'all mentioned hearing him guest appear on the show last week and stop by the booth to check out their products after. So thank y'all for that. And if you did stop by then you know that we weren't joking about how heavy those razor handles are (in a good way) so hopefully you picked one up so you too can get level up your shave game. Another big shout out to the Silca folks, always good catching up with them at the events, and I was even lucky enough to bring home some new hardware in the form of their Ultimate shock pump. Now, if y'all have been listening to this show for a while then you'll know I'm a pretty die hard SRAM boy so I was a little hesitant at first to step away from my trust Rockshox shock pump but let me tell you, this Ultimate shock pump is just a thing of beauty.

Episode 161 - Big Name Tour Dropouts and Dizzle Cracked the Top 10(6) in Iceland! What up party people. I apologize for the sweat beading off my face, I just got back from a steamy rucking session over at the local ski hill and it's absolutely scorchin' out there. Luckily, I had all day fuel on board from our friends at KetoneAid so now I'm straight buzzin' and ready to get back to some good ol' computer work and house stuff. Speaking of friends at KetoneAid, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of y'all who continue to support the show with your hard earned dollars by picking up some of your favorite products from any number of our amazing show sponsors. We love hearing from our partners that y'all are straight up killing it with the use of those discount codes because it truly does help us keep this thing rolling. None of us have actually taken any pieces from the pie personally yet, however, having some play money allows us to do cool things like upgrade equipment when we need it, pay for professional producing so your boy doesn't have to go back to receiving hate mail every week for the shoddy edit jobs I was doing back in the old days, we also get to use those funds to come to events and meet with some of y'all in person (like Leadville in a few weeks, Chequamegon the month after, I'm sure a few of us will be down at Big Sugar again to witness Dylan having NOT fun at the gravel rave, and you better believe we're bringing the heat to the legendary Iceman in November). Also, if you stick around to the end of the show you'll hear a teaser for a new spin off podcast that will be launching here soon, so just another example of those funds going to cool things. That said, if you're new here I'll just quickly rattle off a few of our continued supporters so you can hop on the discount code train along with our boy Dizzle who's always shopping those sales. We've got the lovely crew over at Silca, our longest running show sponsor who's always mixing it up with fun discount codes to share with y'all with the latest code being “Bonkbrosjuly2025”. For that silky smooth shave experience check out our homies over at Bolk Skin + Shave (code: "BROS15") For all of your bicycle tire and accessory shopping needs head over to Bike Tires Direct (or BTD as we call them) and use code “bonkbros” Just a couple more here for y'all like I mentioned at the top of the show KetoneAid who is killing the game in ketone energy (link in the show notes: https://ketoneaid.com/?utm_source=BonkBros). JOIN CYCLING, the latest AI training platform to come in and help get you faster on the bike (and hopefully healthier off the bike too). Head over to join.cc/ bonkbros to check out their programs. And last one for today is the Bicycle Accident Law. Spearheaded by Matthew Scarborough, who is with you on every ride, for better or worse.

It's Tour time and tech editor Ronan McLaughlin has been on the ground capturing all the latest little tricks and tidbits. In this week's Geek Warning, Dave Rome, and Ronan get together to talk through some of the bigger tech stories and finds coming from the biggest race.Within you'll hear about new bikes from Merida and Cervelo, some behind-the-scenes sponsorship movements, how front derailleurs are becoming less common, and why the UCI's handlebar width ruling is likely set to change (again).In Ask a Wrench, members of Escape Collective will hear pro race mechanic Brad Copeland and Dave Rome answer questions related to rust-proofing steel frames, solving for a drooping chain, and how to solve the dreaded disc brake turkey gobble. As an added bonus, you'll hear Brad's impression of a turkey.Time stamps:2:00 - Merida's unreleased Reacto5:50 - Cervelo's new S5 and Ronan's early impressions14:20 - Cervelo has a new R5 coming, too18:30 - Musical Saddles of Sponsorships26:00 - Updates inbound for the UCI's handlebar width change?37:45 - 1x gearing is on the rise47:00 - Ask a Wrench with Brad Copeland (members only)48:30 - Rust-protecting a steel frame52:30 - Chain droop when riding in smaller cassette cogs1:03:00 - Fixing the SRAM brake turkey gobble
From the spark of an idea in an engineer's mind to becoming one of the most talked about innovations in mountain biking, this is the story of OChain. Today, we go behind the scenes with Fabrizio Dragoni, the creator of the OChain system, and James Alberts, MTB Category Director from SRAM, to find out how this radical concept became a reality and why SRAM saw enough potential to bring it under their wing. This is about passion, persistence, and pushing the boundaries of what a bike can feel like. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Fabrizio Dragoni and James Alberts. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can find out more about OChain at ochain.bike.

Con la resaca de Eurobike la actualidad no se ha detenido, y mucho menos si tenemos en cuenta que acaba de empezar el Tour de Francia (y sí, lo ha hecho con polémica entre la organizadora -A.S.O.- y la gente de Procyclingstats). Cervélo ha aprovechado para presentar la nueva S5, su bici “aero” y rodadora que ahora es más rápida y ligera gracias a las mejoras realizadas tanto en el cuadro como en el cockpit HB19 que tanto llama la atención. Specialized nos anunció las nuevas Roval Rapide que se presentaron con más perfil en la delantera que en la trasera. Te explicamos por qué lo han hecho así. También presentó el nuevo sillín S-Works Power EVO con tecnología Mirror 3D. Van Rysel, la marca del grupo Decathlon, ha presentado una “gran fondo” muy interesante como es la EDR CF Ultra que, en su montaje tope de gama, incluye el buje con dinamo de DT Swiss para alimentar a las luces de la bicicleta; pero es que, además, el peso de su cuadro es de sólo 830 g. Canyon también ha presentado algunas cosas interesantes estos días, pero lo que más nos ha llamado la atención han sido la nueva Endurace ON:Fly, una e-bike de carretera ¡de menos de 10 kg! Y la nueva Grizl, que también “aterriza” con un manillar, el Full Mounty, que no dejará indiferente a nadie (que, por cierto, también cuenta con un montaje con buje delantero con dinamo y luces). Trek ha presentado la versión en aluminio de la Checkpoint, la gravel más viajera y aventurera de la marca. Y otros que han lanzado una versión en aluminio ha sido BH, que nos ha presentado su iLynx+ SL con cuadro “metálico” y motor Shimano EP6 en los montajes más accesibles para llegar a más público. Mondraker ha tenido su ración de actualidad también con nuevos montajes para la Crafty Carbon de 2026 y la 3ª generación de la Level, su e-bike de enduro más cañera. Por su parte, el grupo SRAM sigue ampliando su cartera de marcas y ha comprado a la marca italiana Ochain, conocida por su sistema que “separa” la biela del plato permitiendo que la transmisión siga girando cuando nosotros dejamos de pedalear. Pero es que la actualidad no se ha detenido ahí y hemos tenido mucho más. No te pierdas este episodio para conocer todas las noticias que hemos publicado.

For our E-Ink display breakout boards, we add an SRAM chip onboard to help buffer the display. Unlike TFTs that have built-in video RAM, EPDs require writing the full memory at once—which can get into multi-KBs. For many modern chips, up to 64KB of video RAM isn't a big deal, but for small, low-cost micros like Arduino, that's a lot! Since EPDs are slow anyway, we can use an external SRAM chip for fast write/read—an ideal solution.

Shimano's *mostly* new GRX Di2 12-speed group is the Japanese giant's first single-ring drivetrain for gravel, and it borrows tech from the mountain bike world to make it happen. Senior tech editor Alvin Holbrook has unboxed, installed, and ridden GRX Di2, and this week's episode sees the crew dive into his early impressions on shift speed, gear range, and how it compares to SRAM's wireless offerings. BMC had also just released a new, lighter and even more climbing-focused Teammachine SLR ahead of the Tour de France, while Orbea launched the revamped Terra Race gravel bike. We've ridden both bikes and Josh, Alvin, and Levy break down how they perform and who they best suit.

Jesse heads to the wind tunnel and tests cheap wheels and wide tyres, we break down the results. The UCI have their sights on banning more things, while SRAM and Cervelo launch new products.
TRP's new Vistar drivetrain combines a 12-speed cassette with a Classified internally geared hub to give you the benefits of a front derailleur without the hassle and complication, but does it work in the real world? Senior Tech Editor Josh Ross has spent months using it and explains the benefits, drawbacks, and how the hybrid 1X system compares to a traditional drivetrain. Josh has also been riding the new SRAM Force and Rival drivetrains that aim to bring the performance of Red down to a lower price point; he describes the differences between each group and tells Levy why Force is the answer. Cervelo also just released their Aspero-5 gravel race bike that trades tire clearance and comfort for pure aero-focused speed, which is the opposite approach that we're seeing with most new designs. Alvin has been testing the fresh Aspero and explains why this new "gravel bike" might be the ideal all-road machine for many riders. Lastly, the crew debates the UCI's strange new tech mandates that limit handlebar width, fork leg geometry, rim height, and aero helmets, all of which are intended to slow racers down and increase safety. But are yet more rules really the answer, and how do the UCI's decisions affect what consumers can purchase?

Arduino. Founded in Italy twenty years ago by a group of visionary educators and engineers, Arduino was born out of a desire to democratize electronics and make it accessible to everyone. Named after a bar in Ivrea, the platform started with hand-assembled circuit boards for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII). The founders—Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, David Mellis, Tom Igoe, and Gianluca Martino—made key decisions to keep the hardware and software open-source, ensuring that anyone could learn, create, and innovate. The result is… a world where anyone, regardless of their technical background, can create electronic projects that once seemed out of reach. This is the world that Arduino has made possible. The significance of Arduino extends far beyond its technical specifications. It has lowered barriers of entry, making electronics affordable and accessible. Its massive open-source community fosters sharing and innovation, sparking the Maker movement and encouraging creation over consumption. Arduino has become a platform, bridging disciplines like art, design, engineering, and computer science, and enabling rapid prototyping. Its impact is felt in education, product development, and the philosophy of technology accessibility. Arduino has inspired a global movement, empowering hobbyists, students, artists, and professionals to bring their ideas to life. It has influenced modern IoT and smart devices, proving that with the right tools, anyone can be an innovator. Arduino's choice of the AVR ATmega168 and later the ATmega328P microcontrollers was pivotal. These microcontrollers offered a balance of performance, cost, and ease of use, featuring 8-bit architecture, flash memory, SRAM, EEPROM, and built-in peripherals like timers, ADC, PWM, UART, SPI, and I2C. This made them ideal for a wide range of applications, from simple projects to complex prototypes. What happens next is anybody's guess, but the frontiers spawned by the Shockley's and Moore's of the world, with their advanced educations and access to vast amounts of capital, are giving way to the kid in their bedroom, tinkering with a board and a laptop, intent on building a thing – turning their imagination into reality through simple advancements in integrated circuits, sensors, and open-source software. How can Microchip Technology fuel the ethos of the Do-It-Yourself Maker movement?

Welcome back to Geek Warning. It's been a big few weeks for the cycling world, with the Classics and the Sea Otter Classic sharing a weekend.Ronan Mc Laughlin and Dave Rome kick off the show chatting Roubaix tech, including some hacked derailleurs and questionable measurements. Then they chat about Colnago's latest race bike.Dave then jumps on with US tech editor Josh Weinberg to talk all things Sea Otter, including some of the bigger tech news. Plus, there's a beginner's guide to why many in the industry are seemingly obsessed with gearboxes in place of the old derailleur.All of those chats are based loosely on content already published on Escape Collective. So check out the Tech section of the website in order to see more on all of these things.The episode wraps with our usual Ask a Wrench segment with pro race mechanic Brad Copeland.

Spring is here, and things are busy in the bike world, giving Dylan and Simon lots to talk about in our March edition of Reviewing the News. They kick things off with a fun conversation about which pro athletes shred on both bikes and skis, which leads them into a recap of the very well-attended Red Bull Tennesee National DH race and who's going into the season with good speed. This time of year typically means lots of new products to get excited about, and the lads go over some of their favorites. Plus, they get into the head-scratching news about Rocky Mountain deciding to sell their bikes in REI, other industry news, and a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Athletes Who Shred on Both Bikes and Skis (4:40)Red Bull Tennessee National DH Race (8:28)Red Bull Cerro Abajo (17:03)Rocky Mountain Bikes in REI (22:17)Yamaha Buys Brose (25:31)Tariffs on Steel Affect Chain Prices (28:17)Specialized lost a Ton of Money Last Year (32:33)Flatbike Pop-off Pedals (36:39)SRAM's New Cable Actuated Drivetrains (40:57)The Future of Brake Fluid?

Our podcast episodes are a little like our own children, of course, we love them all. However, maybe, just maybe, some are loved a little more than others. This episode is a good one.Tune in as the regular crew of Ronan, Dave, and Zach chat about the growing world of tyre pressure calculators and whether electronic shifting has made frame designers lazy. Meanwhile, the public service announcement relates to counterfeit products and it's a big one that we're sure to return to in future.With the Taipei Cycle Show on we're seeing a flurry of new products to discuss, including a few new fun bikes.Finally, members of Escape Collective (go here) get another edition of Ask a Wrench with Brad Copeland. Here, the geeks answer a few interesting questions, with a whole lot of detail related to bike setup for long gravel events.If you liked this episode, then please give it a share with some like-minded riding friends.Time stamps:1:30 - Vittoria's new tyre pressure app and wider category thoughts14:00 - On Dave's mind is frame limitation in mechanical groupset selection29:45 - a PSA to not buy your big name product from sketchy sources36:00 - Big new things from SRAM, which we've covered elsewhere37:30 - Bendy road ahead for Komoot39:00 - Bianchi celebrates 140 years41:00 - Fox's new 36 SL and where it sits42:45 - Tern updates the GSD43:30 - Giant's first bike with a recycled composite frame50:30 - Ask a Wrench with Brad Copeland (member-only from this point)54:00 - Ask a Wrench: Prepping a bike for performance at Unbound 2001:10:00 - Ask a Wrench: Chainline confusion1:17:00 - Ask a Wrench: Fixing peeling decals
Oh yes, we're in the thick of product launch season, and we're keeping focused on the most interesting stuff. SRAM has just overhauled its more budget-conscious mountain bike drivetrains, and they share much in common with the premium Transmission AXS. Except, they have a cable.Plus, at least on the mountain bike side, SRAM has gone all-in on mineral oil brakes. It's a huge change for a company that's spent more than 15 years promoting the benefits of DOT fluid.To hear and learn all about the product, SRAM lent us a few of its product managers and engineers without the public relation adults in the room.Of course, we have full and detailed write-ups on Escape Collective. There's some overlap between this podcast and the writing, but you'll find plenty of unique information in each.It's also worth reminding that Escape Collective is wholly funded by its members, and so this isn't paid for, sponsored, or partnership content. It's just a geeky chat that felt appropriate for the Geek Warning podcast. Those on the Escape Collective member feeds will get a bonus section at the end with Dave and Josh covering a few elements that SRAM didn't want to discuss, along with some early ride thoughts.Enjoy!Time stamps:1:00 - Meet the guests4:00 - An intro to Eagle 70 and 909:00 - Was SRAM all-in on electronic at a point?11:20 - Cross-compatibility in Transmission and why mechanical is only a price point option18:00 - Set up26:00 - Cable routing basics37:30 - What about bikes without a UDH?39:00 - Shift speed things46:30 - A fully rebuildable derailleur50:00 - Time for brakes and a move to mineral oil58:30 - Explaining the new brake range1:03:00 - The Motive brake1:07:30 - Are there tuning guides for these brakes?1:10:00 - Brake set up tips1:20:00 - Josh and Dave share their thoughts of Eagle 90 (member-only)1:34:00 - Thoughts on the Motive brakes and a crystal ball moment (member-only)
For this week's EYE ON NPI, we'll Hazard a guess that you'll be excited to see the Raspberry Pi RP2350 chip available for purchase at Digi-Key for integration into your next design. We've been working with this chip for a few months and it's quickly becoming our favorite Arm Cortex chip, with fun peripherals and a well-supported toolchain. It also is one of the first mass-produced RISC-V chips: one that you can buy and start using for trying out RISC-V development without the 'risc' of worrying you may have picked the wrong core. Available in two chip sizes and with a boost in performance and peripherals, the RP2350 (https://www.digikey.com/short/mzpjhptm) represents a big upgrade to the RP2040 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC0914-13/14306010) that you've seen take over the microcontroller world over the last 4 years. Raspberry Pi is famous for their single board computers (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/single-board-computers-sbcs/933) so much so that they created a full market for sub-$100 all-in-one PCs. The big disruption we feel they brought to the market was the creation of a hackable and open-source ecosystem with good main-line OS and driver support. With well-written documentation and up-to-date Linux software, purchasing a Pi meant you got to join in with a community that was having fun, not struggling with compiling out-of-tree kernel modules and closed-source firmware. So in 2021 when they announced the RP2040, folks were interested: could a SBC maker design low power silicon? Turns out, yes! The RP2040 was a fun dual-core 133 MHz Cortex-M0+ processor, with 264K of SRAM, with a satisfying collection of peripherals: USB, ADC, UART/SPI/I2C, PWM, DMA and timers plus the nifty PIO state machine (https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/what-is-pio/). The killer feature, though, was the price: at $1 a chip, and tons of availability with an on-going chip shortage, the RP2040 won our hearts and soldering stations! Three years later, Raspberry Pi is back with a sequel: The RP2350A (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/microcontrollers/685?s=N4IgTCBcDaIE4AcwGYCsAGAgiAugXyA) and RP2350B (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/microcontrollers/685?s=N4IgTCBcDaIE4AcwGYCsAGAQiAugXyA) two variants of an upgrade chip that keeps what was great about the '2040 but with some boosts. First up, the core was upgraded from dual Cortex-M0's to the M33: this means you get an FPU and better low-power performance, plus TrustZone security. The core is spec'd for 150MHz but we've overclocked it to 264MHz without too much complaint. You also have the option to get dual RISC-V cores (https://riscv.org/) instead. SRAM was also bumped: from 264K to 520KB. This is great for running interpreted languages like MicroPython (https://micropython.org/) or CircuitPython (https://circuitpython.org/). Like the original, the RP2350 does not have any built in FLASH memory. Instead, you will need to wire it to a QSPI flash memory chip (https://www.digikey.com/short/80t4zt5t). This way you can pick from 1 MBytes to 16 MBytes whatever your code size needs. This new chip adds the ability to wire in PSRAM (https://www.digikey.com/short/d8033bfw) to the same QSPI bus plus an extra chip select. This is not going to be nearly as fast as on-chip SRAM, but it's great when you want large working memory that the chip will manage for you: by configuring it in the CMakefile, you 'magically' get a huge area you can malloc. Another improvement is in the number of PIO blocks: the original had 2, the RP2350 has 3. The two biggest new features we found are the new HSTX peripheral and the 80-QFN RP2350B (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/microcontrollers/685?s=N4IgTCBcDaIE4AcwGYCsAGAQiAugXyA) variant. HSTX stands for High Speed Transmission and its a high-speed peripheral that can drive 8 output lines - note that it's output only! There's a few possible use cases, but the core reasoning is that this lets you control a DVI display directly from the chip using just the DMA and internal memory without requiring overclocking, PIO, or an extra core. Note that the built in SRAM limits the size of the display if you want to have a video buffer: you can do 320x240 @16bpp or 640x480 @8bpp but, still! Second, if you found the original QFN-60 a bit constraining in terms of GPIO, the QFN-80 'B' version has 20 extra GPIO available for just 10 cents more. If you've been doing grabby-hands in hopes of getting a reel of RP2350 chips into your next design: today is your lucky day! Digi-Key has these chips in stock RIGHT NOW for immediate shipment. You can get a reel of either A or B type chips, with cut tape individual components coming shortly. Both types are great, but recently we've been having a lot of fun with the roomy B type (https://www.digikey.com/short/mzpjhptm), with the extra GPIO. Order today and you can start integrating the trendiest new silicon into your new PCB assembly by tomorrow afternoon.

Want to ride faster without feeling like your heart's about to explode? World-class coaches like John Wakefield and Dan Lorang have cracked the code, and it's way simpler than you think. Today, we're diving into heart rate concerns—like whether hitting 180 bpm on a climb is totally normal or a red flag—and the key to balancing consistency and intensity in your training. We'll also break down the science of fueling properly, why mixing Shimano and SRAM might not be the disaster you think, and how the pros bounce back from brutal crashes (looking at you, Pogačar). Plus, should you weave through traffic at lights, or hold your lane? Is blasting your bike with a petrol station power washer a necessary evil? And what's the right way to pass another group ride without getting an earful?

Payson stops by XCO National Champion Bjorn Riley's apartment in Girona to hear about his training camp in South Africa with his new team, the one and only Scott-SRAM. They also discuss the part of winning a race that people don't often talk about: the terrifying moment when you decide to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Then, Bjorn pulls out some of the artifacts he's found in abandoned buildings on rides in the Spanish countryside and recounts his experience of getting bitten by Europe's only deadly snake species while on a training ride last year and needing to get airlifted to a hospital.

Some of the Velo team is in the midst of gearing up for a field test, where we're testing all-road bikes and comparing them against a traditional racey road bike and a gravel bike. Between all the testing and riding we're doing, it's got us wondering what the heck is an all-road bike, anyway? Yeah, yeah, all-road bikes are supposed to bridge the gap between the race road bikes and the performance gravel bikes. They tend to offer more upright body positioning, handling that skews toward safe rather than agile, and often include some sort of feature that promises to dampen road vibrations. But where did the all-road name even come from? How did we lose the phrase 'endurance road bike' along the way? And perhaps most importantly, is a gravel bike the right bike if you're looking for an all-road bike? Along the way, we chat about Jim Cotton's excellent story on how breathing sensors are poised to blow up bike racing and why a breathing sensor is a much more reliable indicator of effort and output. We also dig into why Lidl-Trek raced on a SRAM gravel groupset at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. We dug in on this latest episode of the Velo Podcast, and we hope you enjoy digging in, too.

Emilly Johnston was wondering if she was going to have a team for her first Elite season when she got a call from Scott-SRAM team director Thomas Frischknecht. Shortly after she signed a contract with the team, she placed third at Worlds, rounding out a triumphant 2024 season that marked her as one of the most promising up-and-comers in the women's field. Emilly sat down with Payson in Girona earlier this week to talk about landing a spot on her dream team, the chaos of racing last year's combined U23 and Elite World Championship, and throwing down tricks mid-race. She also talks about sharing an apartment with two of cycling's most fashion-forward men (longtime teammate Bjorn Riley and XC photographer Piper Albrecht), and why they describe her first and foremost as “very Canadian.”Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen
