Live blog: "Your bike is better than mine", says wheelsucker, Deceuninck–Quick-Step will be using Bryton computers in 2019, are Vielo launching a road bike? + more

Taiwanese GPS brand Bryton have entered the peloton with a bang by partnering with the number 1 UCI-ranked team Deceuninck–Quick-Step. It's likely riders will use their new Aero 60, as their 450 is more mtb-orientated. Bryton's CEO Samuel Wang says: “we’ve been working with professional cyclists since we started Bryton, but we are working with the best cycling team in the world now. We could really look at Deceuninck – Quick-Step as an inspiration to the team to continue to push and provide the best products in the world.”

Vielo, makers of the V+1 allroad bike launched last year, look to have something new up their sleeves judging by the short video they’ve teased on Facebook over the weekend. What could it be?  We’ve asked, they won’t tell, so we’ll have to wait and see.

What do you think it could be? We think the R+1 is the big giveaway, a suggestion we could be looking at a more road-focused bike than the all-terrain V+1.

Our favourite way to while away a few minutes, or even a few hours!

The start of the 2019 road season is well underway in Australia with the Men's and Women's National Road Race Championships. Mitchelton Scott are once again providing a behind the scenes look at the Pro cycling season and as you'd expect from the only Aussie World Tour team, they had a very good representation at the race.

The organisation says it needs to raise £15,000 to finance its campaigning this year. It says:

Unfortunately, many junctions long acknowledged by TfL as dangerous still await the action promised to make them safer. More still have no plans for improvement in place at all.

In some cases action is being blocked by anti-cycling councils. In other cases the delays stem from TfL itself. And to cap it all, where improvements have been made they are all too often inadequate.

This means public money is being spent without achieving the cycling safety standards needed to deliver London’s ‘Vision Zero’ action plan, to prevent all deaths and serious injuries on our roads by 2041.

#Westminster Council are blocking progress to make dangerous junctions across the borough safe for cycling. Find out about these and the other major junctions we must tackle this year, and donate to the Dangerous Junctions fundraising appeal at https://t.co/Wwbbyt9gNZpic.twitter.com/Wx0ciDMCp2
