As gravel bikes evolve and become ever closer to mountain bikes, are they actually on a path to extinction? In today's show, Si & Dan question whether the gravel bike might be facing an existential crisis. Gravel bikes have evolved so much ...and where is that evolution going? 

Plus, they discuss a $30,000 steel Condor, bid farewell to the most powerful woman in cycling, share updates on fundraising for Dan's 350km ride, comments of the week, & much more!
