Numb hands ruining your rides? This episode is for you.
Anthony breaks down the real reasons behind hand numbness on the bike and offers practical fixes you can try without splashing out on a pro bike fit.
We also dive into how to fuel properly for multi-day races without wrecking your gut, why club culture sometimes undervalues personal milestones, and whether mixing cycling kit brands is a style crime or just harmless rebellion. Plus, we chat about the buzz around Paris-Roubaix, the eternal kickstand debate, and whether bigger disc rotors actually make a difference. Packed with tips, insights, and a few laughs—this one’s all about making your riding experience smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.
