The best bikes and tech spotted at Vuelta Femenina 2025: Tour tech gallery

5 days ago | cyclingweekly.com | Hannah Bussey

We dived into the pre- and post-race team zones at this year's La Vuelta Femenina to see what the best of the professional women's peloton is currently riding. Unlike many sporting events that keep you more than an arm's reach from the team, professional cycling can offer great opportunities to get up close and personal with the riders and, of course, their equipment.

1 week ago | cyclingweekly.com | Hannah Bussey

Ribble has unveiled its latest flagship road bike, the Ultra-Race, with the brand claiming it combines the best features of its current aero and lightweight bikes to become the ultimate road bike, a 'do it all' lightweight, aero bike. The decision to remove the Endurance SL from the Ribble lineup, prioritising a single-race bike, mirrors the new-but-old design concept already employed by brands like Trek, Specialized, and Lapierre, to name just a few.

Madison Flux short sleeve jersey dealsAs a cyclist, the warmer weather that the return of spring and summer brings is what we live for. As we begin to shed our thermal layers, it's always a feeling of celebration when we take our first ride outside in short sleeves each year.
Rudy Project Rebel bike helmet review

Rudy Project Rebel Helmet dealsThe current trend for aero-shelled helmets has been a struggle for me. I have a rather small head, and I'm not that fussed about outright speed these days. Even when wearing the best of the contemporary helmets, I fear being mistaken for a Belisha beacon, and worry constantly about someone wanting me to assist them in crossing the road. So when the Rudy Project Rebel road bike helmet arrived, I was immediately intrigued.

When it comes to visibility on a bike, the obvious consideration is how well we are illuminated at night. However, the best bike lights now offer a focus on the importance of using daylight bike lights—something we discovered when we inquired whethercyclists should use daylight running lights (DRL), with evidence indicating that the incidence rate was 19% lower for DRL-equipped cyclists.
New Wattbike Atom Enhanced offers tool free set-up - but what will Ergo mode enhancements mean for power readings?

1 month ago | cyclingweekly.com | Hannah Bussey

Wattbike has unveiled the latest upgrades to its original indoor smart bike, the Wattbike Atom. The brand states that the latest 'Enhanced Atom' updates will provide smoother, more stable resistance adjustments, full quick-release adjustability, a new performance saddle, and striking aesthetic enhancements. Whilst the new Atom, to our eyes, looks very similar to its predecessor, some new updates - especially changes to the Ergo mode which may impact wattage reporting - are certainly interesting.
I almost crashed into a canal because of the thumb loops on my jacket - I'm glad cycling brands don't make them like this anymore

1 month ago | cyclingweekly.com | Hannah Bussey

This article is part of a series called ‘A love letter to…’ where Cycling Weekly writers (usually) pour praise on their favourite cycling items and share the personal connection they have with them. In this case, our writer decided to take a more cynical stance, penning a 'break-up letter' to sleeves with thumb loops. It surprises me that after nearly three decades as a cyclist, and almost half of that time working in the industry, I can still experience cycling firsts.
Rudy Project Spinshield Air Sunglasses Review

Rudy Project Spinshield Air Sunglasses dealsAlong with a helmet, the only other piece of cycling kit I insist on wearing is eye protection. Even in the unpredictable northern hemisphere, where winter months see more darkness than light, wearing the best sunglasses year-round is vital to keeping my eyes safe. To that end, one of the best technological advancements in cycling history is the development of photochromatic lenses, which allow light and dark riding with the same pair of glasses.
Cycling with my 10-year-old daughter fills me with guilt and makes us both a target for abuse - this isn't how it should be

2 months ago | cyclingweekly.com | Hannah Bussey

“I’m scared,” my daughter called out as we waited to turn. I could barely hear her above the noise of engines accelerating past, pinning us to the center white line and squeezing through what felt like non-existent gaps on either side. ‘Why aren’t they letting us cross? Can’t they see she’s a child? I seethed internally while maintaining a composed exterior as I calmly guided my daughter on how to be assertive in her road positioning and when to confidently cross over.
The Zéfal Shield G50s restored by faith in clip-on mudguards/fenders for gravel bikes

2 months ago | cyclingweekly.com | Hannah Bussey

My relationship with mudguards is tumultuous, they have saved and ruined bike rides in equal measure. The best mudguards/fenders for gravel bikesare well-fitted and sturdily made. They reduce wheel spray for you, as well as preventing grit (and worse) from getting into your eyes and mouth. Mudguards will also protect your back and feet from the worst of the wet and muddy stuff on a ride and extend the life of your kit by reducing contact with grit-degrading debris.
