Whether you're pushing on the pedals or letting gravity do the work, wind resistance is one of the major factors keeping you from going at warp speed.

But why? Tom and Seb talk through where aero makes a difference, what can be done, and why it should matter to you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. We sit down with Jak...
