This country is going down the crapper. Everywhere we look we have WOKE nonsense showing how we’re circling the drain and communism is about to take over. How do I know? The media keeps telling me, so it must be true. I’ve been told that avocados are WOKE, not being racist is WOKE, working from home is WOKE, how an AI tool owned by Elon Musk is WOKE, but most worrying of all… roundabouts. Roundabouts. Are.

The Amazfit Helio Ring is a decent entry level ring, but it is not something that is ready to replace a smart watch or Whoop band yet. Sleep and recovery tracking works well, but the activity tracking is limited and the Zepp app has some limitations. The Amazfit Helio Ring is Chinese company Zepp Health's entry into the smart ring space and aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to premium options like the Oura Ring and Samsung Galaxy Ring.

* Or dying, or maybe not, but in any case... Rebecca is having an existential crisis wondering whether electric road bikes are still a relevant category in the UK and beyond When I think of electric road bikes, I think of brilliant, lightweight machines that level the playing field for many riders. I think of riders gliding over undulating terrain with smiles on their faces, legs free of lactic acid.

My spangly new size 47 torture devices suddenly transported me straight back to a spring evening ride of 1981, when a young me traded his teenage kicks for a red village phone box while in near-tearful, excruciating pain. It’s strange, as I struggle to remember things from a couple of hours ago nowadays, but every teeth-grinding moment of that foot-crippling ride suddenly came flooding back in vivid technicolour.

Scrapping the UCI Track Champions League, eye-watering pay-for-view price hikes, and more – has the UCI handed over too much power to Warner Bros. Discovery? There’ll be no more of those spangly glitter balls, alcopops-infused 1980s disco, swirling Ibiza rave lights, or shots of Lycra-clad Darth Vaders battling it out on the boards of the après dark velodromes of Europe.

VecchioJo has an attack of the (not) blues Give me wind, give me rain, give me cold, give me heat, give me something to feel against my skin. I can’t ride into the bland indifference of grey any more. I am blithely cursed by being both English and a cyclist, so all I can talk about is the weather.
