This week, we explore whether wanting new bikes &amp; gear might lead us down the path of not liking or appreciating the bikes we have! Plus, we talk about the return of the thumb shifter, MotoGP riders doing bicycle races, new world records in the velodrome, and rumours of a merger that could make a new super-team! 🙌
