Episode 11: Is cycling too expensive? + Becca Charlton talks to us about the experiences of women in the bike industry

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we’re asking: is cycling just too expensive nowadays? George, Liam, Jack and Patrick discuss, comparing the prices of very expensive bikes and components with luxury products from other industries and attempting to come to a solid conclusion over whether cycling is a particularly expensive pastime. Does an oversized pulley wheel system that costs over £500 really offend you when there’s people paying £650 for a gold-covered steak in Knightsbridge at the moment? We all have our say, feel free to chip in with your thoughts by dropping us a line at [email protected]! George also talks to road.cc presenter Becca Charlton about women in the bike industry. How do we make cycling more inclusive, and whose responsibility is it to instigate change so we’ve got a better gender balance in cycling, both as a mode of transport and in cycling as a sport? It’s a packed episode as always, we hope you enjoy it!
