Beyond that, we explore Zéfal’s commitment to French manufacturing as a means to secure supply chains and boost sustainability, and chat with Alex Feechan about the founding of FINDRA and her mission to empower women in the outdoors.

We also gain insights into the future of virtual racing from MyWhoosh’s Matt Smithson, celebrate the upcoming BikeBiz Awards finalists, and feature essential market perspectives from industry veterans Dominic Langan and Lee Prescott.
