      AI, as defined today, relies heavily on machine learning. While traditional statistical modeling tries to find relations between known variables and to explain them (for example, wind speed in summer in France depending on historical averages and terrain type), machine learning is focused on making predictions without looking to explain them.
      Computers are fed tons of reference data, tons of reference results, and are trained to find random markers that could accurately predict results from novel data.

    I like maximum tech but I’d be neat to see a race, like the Keirin, where tech has been equalized in that all riders have the exact same bike and no power meters are involved. Could be a road race or a road time trial or on the track. It could be a new “discipline”. I think some athletes would like this.

    I think some of the programs may already be doing this, but it would be nice if they could model your FTP based on your rolling performance data on Zwift or Strava. If it were an ongoing thing, you wouldn’t need to do periodic FTP tests. I have yet to do one but plan to later in the month. In the meantime, I had to manually adjust my FTP down to what seems a reasonable level. That would be a very effective training tool for most of us, especially when they are pushing the training envelope.

    You can also look at top-shelf kit vs. more economical brands that make great kit without the top-shelf price. Took a cruise through the GCN shop and $182 for a short-sleeved jersey is more than I pay for a full set of kit from my preferred manufacturers. The long-sleeved winter jersey is the same cost as a short-sleeved jersey? Seems to be a misprint as there's much more to a winter jersey when compared to the summer options.

    AI for bike fitting makes a ton of sense. We love our Phil Burts of the world, but fitting can be expensive and time consuming. You could have a room with a treadmill surrounded by smart cameras and LiDAR sensors, have the rider pedal through a set regiment and let the AI make suggestions. There would be a lot to teach the computer, but ultimately it would be totally possible to eliminate the need for a human fitter.

It can reference the entirety of statistics and reasoning concerning bike fitment (available on the internet) and give advice way faster than a human. The more we would use it, the more it would learn. You could tell it, “that adjustment made my hips hurt” and it would learn that certain characteristics of certain riders can respond poorly to particular adjustments and vice versa. There’s way too much for my tiny brain to compute, which is why it makes sense to let a hyper intelligent computer assist. If proper fitters like Phil assisted in the development, it would eventual surpass all of their skill levels and become the best option. Which is obviously terrible for bike fitters, but awesome for average-joe riders like myself.

    I think all the complaints of bike costs don't fully take into account consumers. After commuting daily for 15 years I treated myself with my dream fairweather carbon fiber bike. The base 105 model. Every time I ride it I run into people with the same bike, but always models that cost 2-3 times as much even though they are often new to cycling. If most people are willing to pay you can't blame companies for making the products.

    So... I need AI to help my decision-making:
    I'm doing Maratona dles Dolomites this summer. 6 years ago, I'd use a 7.2Kg Giant TCR with alloy rims and rim brakes.
    I now have an 8.3Kg disk brake bike with 60mm deep wheels. I could reduce the weight to about 7.6Kg with some mods, like TPU tubes and lighter weight 30mm deep and wide rims and lighter saddle.
    Which would be faster? Heavier, aero-wheeled DB bike, or lighter non-aero wheeled DB bike, or much lighter rim brake bike?
    May be it's time Dan revisited the Maratona ( remember his video from ~ 8 years ago?)!

    If that Fara All-road is a super-nice standards have dropped too far. Bike was too small in the frame to see anything, it was squint to the wall it was propped up on, had giant white bottles still on it, valves and wheels completely out of alignment with each other meaning the wheel logos were way out. Plus ceramicspeed on a winter/all-road bike on which components will presumably get trashed by wet, gritty roads. It's a nice bike but they need to do better than that. This is the bike vault, you can't just let things in because they've got gucci parts.

    While there are many similarities between "just statistics" and "AI", these are different things (e.g. if you use neural networks to train on datasets that's often better than simple logistic regressions), so it's not purely marketing.

    Fantastic video! This will undoubtedly help de-mystify "AI". Indeed, on one hand AI is nothing more than we already do... crunch data on a computer. On the other hand, AI revolutionizes this data crunching through software, yes, but also new hardware compute paths. AI hardware doesn't use a traditional CPU but, instead, specialized versions of CPUs with many, many more "compute cores". This allows many, many more inputs to be evaluated and many, many more decision matrices to be linked. The end result is data output that is far more information-rich than before.

    You guys just had a video where you discussed the prices of shorts back some years and current pricing … I believe you got your shorts for $20 or so come years ago… so back to today and your kit… $440 for a kit ?
    I am not saying my Specialized Alize Sprint is an expensive bike but this kit is about 1/4 of the cost of my whole bike … something does not add up here!
    Ohhh AERO sleeves… that is why it cost $440… silly me … maybe you guys should also start selling socks for $1000? 😮

    AI is more about hardware than software, I reckon. AI compute paths are far different than traditional and this is where the power of AI originates. The software simply facilitates the hardware by coding in a way to leverage the immense new compute paths.

It is vastly known, and even the Euro parliament is talking about it. Sure, you can put out products that are super cheap when you basically use slavery. And they have been doing it since at least 2020.

    I think for all the people complaining about bike prices, it’s more about priorities than affordability. I put more miles on my bikes than I do my car so I’m perfectly happy having $30k bike collection and a $5k car. The average new car price is 2024 is $48k and when you consider the spread, this leaves a lot of room to buy your dream bike and spend less of your car. It’s better for the environment anyway and you stay healthier.

    I think AI will be incorporated with automatic shifting in the future when linked up with your power output, various biometric live data, your history, surrounding conditions and the route / stage / tour planned and can calculate the most efficient gear and send instructions about cadence and nutrition for the optimal performance for the moment, the next 10k, until the end of the stage or winning a grand tour - whatever your goal is.

    An AI Garmin paired with a power meter, heart rate, blood sugar monitor, hydration/electrolyte and lactate monitors could offer real-time pacing, nutrition, strategy and tactics. '2km 20% gradient ahead. Take 100ml of water, half a gel and reduce power to 150W.' The UCI may even force riders to wear skin monitors which record data in black box recorders to see what is 'going on' in there.

    Ollie needs to learn the difference between Data Analytics and AI. AI just takes its initial knowledge and makes predictions of the most likely outcome based on what it's been trained on. So it may pick a good route based on what others have ridden, but its take on cycle path design will be based on what's already out there - so probably not good. Ever heard of data bias?

    I have a question about the measure or how to measure bike bolts. I've got a bike seat that is using a larger bolt and want to change out the bolt with a titanium (weight). I am really having problems with understanding the "M" rating on these bolts.
    Most of them I've looked at are M5 at the length of 30/35/40 mm, I understand the numbers I don't understand what the M means or how to determine how to figure it out when I look at a bolt and what sort of tools to use to determine the size.
    The bolt I'm currently using has a round tubular nut is thicker in diameter than the M5 I ordered and sent back. When I look across the internet I can't seem to find a M6 only M5 seat bolt.
    Not sure if my bike is the only one in the entire world uses this hefty heavy bolt. Please make a video to explain how bolts are measured and how we can figure that out.

    Interesting AI conversation but to me it feels less like Artificial Intelligence and more like Automated Intelligence e.g. parse a load of data (too much for a human), apply a set of rules (written by human experts), determine scenarios and finally suggest the best plan/diet/tactics. IMHO true artificial intelligence is way off but I know it’s got a lot of investment and will eventually be something real rather than a marketing exercise.
