Episode 25: Has Zwift had its day? Plus RideLondon's U-turn on THAT 22mph speed limit!

Send us Fan MailIn the 25th episode of the road.cc Podcast, we’re excited to announce that specialist cycling insurers Laka will be our partner sponsors for the rest of 2022! We were less excited to find out that the organisers of RideLondon appeared to be planning to set a speed limit of 22mph on the front of the race, something that they have now backtracked on and claimed was an 'error' after feeling the wrath of many cyclists who were signed up to the event, thinking they could ride it at whatever pace they wanted. Although the organisers have seen sense, is it worrying that anyone involved may have thought this was a good idea in the first place? We’re also talking about indoor cycling and particularly Zwift, following the news that the company that basically started virtual cycling as we know it today had laid off 150 staff, and abandoned its plan for a ‘Zwift Bike’. With the lockdown indoor training boom over, will we all go back to staring at a wall on our salty turbo bike once more, or is this simply a bump in the  (virtual) road for the indoor training giant? Is Zwift’s place as the market leader safe? George is joined by Dave Atkinson, John Stevenson and Jack Sexty to discuss both of this week’s tasty topics. Enjoy!
