Overhyped Cycling Trends & How Cycling Ireland is Failing Riders
In this week’s Rider Support, we tackle a critical issue that’s been bubbling under the surface for too long—the decline of road racing in Ireland. With legendary events disappearing and Cycling Ireland seemingly asleep at the wheel, we’re asking the tough questions: Where is the funding going? Why isn’t the governing body stepping in? And at what point do we demand real leadership to save Irish racing?
Beyond that, we dig into the cycling trends from 2024 that need to die—from folding gravel bikes to overpriced ‘eco-friendly’ marketing gimmicks. We also settle the age-old debate: Are aero wheels or lightweight wheels the better upgrade? Plus, we dive into hot topics like:✅ The fallout from the UCI President’s failure to address rider safety at the World Championships✅ Should you take your dog on MTB trails?✅ The truth about the super tuck—dangerous or just another silly UCI rule?✅ Is training indoors actually better for performance?
And stay tuned until the end, where Anthony breaks down normalized power vs. average power, making sense of those confusing numbers on your bike computer.
