Riding into the technological revolution

How science and technology is challenging cycling, and bringing in a whole new era of participation
Photography by Ben Thorpe & Nadezhda Pavlova

It was about 1994 I’d say. In the parking area to the rear of Thirsk Court House and Police Station – yes Thirsk. Home to the famous vet – James Herriot – of  ‘All creatures great and small’ fame. A colleague of mine had turned an old steel butchers bike into an E-Bike, by using a washing machine spin drive and a car battery perched on the rear pannier. Yes, he was renowned amongst our group as a mad inventor!

Speeding around the small car park, he invited me to take a go, saying “with your light weight, we’ll get 20 miles an hour out of it!” The invitation was too good to miss! Needless to say, Perkins – his name – didn’t take the bike much further. He did however convert a Hillman Imp, and then a Nissan van to run on electric. The van even had a small wind turbine that came out the side, and which powered the stereo! I’ve always been a fan of tech, and working alongside my old friend and colleague, Perky, I was never short of new technology to take a look at.

The cycling industry caught up and overtook my friend though. Whilst Perky moved his attention to designing a small submarine, cycling was developing suspension forks, smoother gearing and lighter alloys to make bikes faster and more comfortable. The nature of our sport means that innovation and technology is always on the move and striving to improve the quality, reliability and efficiency of cycling.

Marginal gains in cycling became a buzzword for Team Sky. However, I’m sorry to burst Sir Dave Brailsford’s bubble, but it had in truth been going on long before those heady days of Brit Pop road cycling success. The living legend that is Graeme Obree had tinkered with tech and challenged the UCI years before. And, right across the industry, cycling brands were historically consistent in their drive to innovate. FSA have always been a leading light, introducing ceramic hub bearings in 2004, with one rider using them in the Olympics – and yet with them being used across the whole peloton only a few years later.

Yes, technology and cycling go hand in hand – like coffee and croissants.

Technology and innovation for the masses

Cycling is hard work – especially as we get older. I live in the Yorkshire Dales, where they don’t even sign a gradient below 16%! There’s too many of them and they’d run out of signage! Whilst the hills aren’t as long as those in mainland Europe, they test you mentally, by frequently offering an amazing descent, then spitting in your eye as they suddenly produce another chain-busting climb. The mountain biking trails are even harsher. There’s a climb on the Nidderdale loop that looks almost vertical. Over the years, this landscape has kept cycling away from a large percentage of the population, too wise to suffer the pain that we cyclists take to like masochists.

Thankfully though, especially here in the U.K., the development of the E-Bike – both on the road cycling and the E-Mountain bike front – has turned the dial upwards, bringing more and more people into cycling. Both from a commuting perspective and a lifestyle and leisure point of view, the technology behind the modern E-Bike has done more for future cycling participation than our countries woeful and frankly pathetic attempts at a green transport infrastructure or half-baked policies ever could. Yes, you’re able now to easily ride your E-Bike into town, or into the hills – just expect to get a close shave from a car or lorry along the way! It’s sad that the U.K. establishment is literally quite pathetic at creating any form of cycling infrastructure and at the development of a joined up transport policy for the future.

We seem to be too drunk on tarmac still, and bikes are too frequently seen as an  offensive sight to U.K. drivers. Elsewhere in Europe, it’s a joy to cycle; which is why Euro Bike is always such a great reflection of a cycling and technology future that we should all embrace.

And, in the heart of European cycling, Ekoi are continuously working with engineers and pro teams to develop new and exciting products to take cycling further and faster – and at a price point that allows more and more people to afford the best products. Yes, innovation is exciting and it has meaning – whether it’s in Italian, Swiss,German, or French, it’s a universal language that says ‘get ready to ride!

It’s always time to ride…

Health, wealth and the pursuit of happiness

Attending Euro Bike at Frankfurt this summer was enlightening. E-Cargo Bikes were in abundance. Our own Nadezhda took one for a spin, and did doughnuts in an E-Bike designed like a 2-seater space-age car. It was wonderful to see how Europe in particular is embracing cycling technology and innovation to change how we live and move in our towns and cities. Go to any mountain biking event these days, such as ‘Ard Rock, here in the Dales, or to Triada and the Trilogy in magical Transylvania, and you’ll see a huge rise in E-MTB numbers,  allowing a new wave of riders to enjoy a sport that not long ago seemed out of reach to their fitness levels and aspirations. Add to this that places such as Transylvania are ahead of the game in cycling lanes for commuters, as they redefine their infrastructure for the new age.

Better still, the latest E-Bikes, such as the Orbea Rise, or the all-new DJI AMFlow are designed to work with you and not for you. In effect, the more that you put in yourself, the more fun and greater distance you’ll get out of the bikes! It can be a good physical workout now; but one that enables you to go further and for longer. Yes, seeing the latest lightweight and super powerful E-Bikes at Frankfurt was exciting – and testing the new technologies was doubly so. It took me back to 1994 and that butchers bike with a car battery strapped to it, at Thirsk! Perkins, you were ahead of your time, my friend!

Brands such as FSA continue to lead the way and to drive innovation Full Speed Ahead, with their Vison wheels arm showing what can be achieved with minor developments to make a big impact to the top riders, and indeed to any cyclist that wants to perform at their best. The latest Vision wheels have laser-etched micro-dot brake rim surface texture on the Vision wheelsets, dramatically improving braking performance for safe, sure and predictable stopping power in all weather conditions.

One area that has changed even further however, is price-point – and it will need to, as cycling technology and engineering costs hopefully fall, through further innovation and increased sales. As it stands, an E-Bike can be very costly; which during a global economic crises is not necessarily good for the cycling industry. We’re in danger of limiting access to cycling once more, when we need to allow the exciting technological advancements and innovation to put even  more people onto bikes. Ekoi are thankfully leading the way in challenging pricepoint, and continue to innovate within the highest levels of cycle sport, whilst ensuring that products remain affordable for club riders too.

The humble wheel however, still stands in first place as the best upgrade that any rider can make to their bike; and along with global brands, this is an area that we want to explore more,as we take a close look at cycle tech into the future! Ekoi are about to bring out a fully carbon road wheelset that changes the pricing structure globally, and is filled with French technological expertise. We will be visiting their French HQ this spring (2026) and finding out more, before testing the new wheels ourselves.

Balancing lifestyle, health and wellness

To some degree, when we look at the overall health and economic benefits for a society where science and technology put more people onto bikes, there has to be an argument for more Government funding and support for the cycling industry – in several areas. After all, more people cycling means less obesity, better mental health and a more positive outlook on life. It means less pollution in our towns and cities, and less costs for road building. Travelling abroad is always enlightening; and in Switzerland and Germany this year, I’ve seen trams and trains with large areas set aside for cyclists. Yes, a truly integrated transport system, that’s embracing the new cycling technologies that Euro Bike continues to showcase so brilliantly.

Science and innovation in cycling isn’t simply about making it easier for the pro peloton to go faster. No, cycling innovation is all about giving cycling  back to the masses. It’s about a renewal of the cycling revolution of the 1950s, when mass produced bikes gave people a cheap mode of transport for commuting. It’s about cycling technology allowing more people to find their own adventure and to relax on Bikepacking trips to far flung places, or simply taking a cycle touring trip into the hills, to escape the rat race for a few days.Yes, cycling is about the freedom to explore, and the E-Bike technology and innovation on show at Euro Bike typified this new drive – and it was amazing to see.

What does  your vision of the future look like…

Is Ekoi the listening brand in world cycling

Let’s focus on the cycling industry per se. It’s broken and a minor repair will no longer fix the issue. You can pour as much sealant into the punctures as you like – but, unless you start listening to the consumer… which is what Jean- Christophe has been doing at Ekoi since 2001, bucking the trend and leading the industry peloton.

Pirelli P Zero Race Road Cycling Tyres 2026

Pirelli has re-established itself as a serious contender in performance cycling tyres. With the P Zero range, they’ve combined their motorsport expertise with modern road-riding demands. I’ve spent time on both the P Zero Race in 28 mm (with tubes) and 30 mm (tubeless), as well as the P Zero Race 4S in 28 mm. Each tyre has its own personality — one built purely for speed, the other for year-round versatility.

Finding the best cycling shoes in the world is a challenge. Ultimately, we're all built differently, and that includes the uniqueness of our feet and how we use them.

Designing Cycle Shoes for Women

In case you haven’t noticed it, women are built differently from men – it’s a fact. All too often, historically, brands have simply produced downsized products for women, and have failed either deliberately or otherwise, to recognise the physiological differences. Yes, the cycling world simply used a ‘Pink it & Shrink it’ mentally, failing to understand the specific needs of women as athletes.

The Positive Benefits of a Bike Fit and the Science of Bike Fitting

Bike fitting looks at every aspect of how we are built, how we move, how we sit and and how comfortable we are when cycling. Bike fitting should be as normal for us as cyclists, as stopping to enjoy coffee and cake is. However, the new science of bike fitting is still developing, despite World Tour riders and teams using it for many years.
