Check out our bumper Tech of the Week: canyon_bikes gets into titanium, plus the latest tech news from SRAMroad DTSwiss Kask_cycling SILCAvelo and loads more cycling
This headline sounds a bit like the foreign news section of Tech of the Week… And I guess in a way it is. Virtual indoor cycling platform Rouvy has announced its La Vuelta Virtual campaign, an opportunity for riders to experience the Grand Tour from home and win a VIP trip to the final stage of La Vuelta in Madrid.
As the Vuelta is happening in August-September, the new courses are going to be added over the summer and until then you can ride previous years’ routes. The event is designed to cater to riders of all levels, and you have from 27 March until 23 April 2023 to complete the challenge. The next day, they'll ride part of the final stage of La Vuelta before the peloton, then watch the action from the VIP area and meet their cycling heroes. If you’re not in the fastest group, you can still win some jerseys and such!
The money was gathered by cyclists who completed a virtual ride on Rouvy’s indoor cycling platform, and the amount raised was based on how many cyclists took part. They cycled 76,038 km and the final sum also includes a donation by Rouvy and Challenge Family.It would not be a week in the tech world without the announcement of at least one new colourway on something. This week, Silca has launched its Sicuro titaniumEach cage is made of seamless titanium tubing and weighs 30g.

Association between exposure to multiple air pollutants, transportation noise and cause-specific mortality in adults in Switzerland - Environmental HealthBackground Long-term exposure to air pollution and noise is detrimental to health; but studies that evaluated both remain limited. This study explores associations with natural and cause-specific mortality for a range of air pollutants and transportation noise. Methods Over 4 million adults in Switzerland were followed from 2000 to 2014. Exposure to PM2.5, PM2.5 components (Cu, Fe, S and Zn), NO2, black carbon (BC) and ozone (O3) from European models, and transportation noise from source-specific Swiss models, were assigned at baseline home addresses. Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for individual and area-level covariates, were used to evaluate associations with each exposure and death from natural, cardiovascular (CVD) or non-malignant respiratory disease. Analyses included single and two exposure models, and subset analysis to study lower exposure ranges. Results During follow-up, 661,534 individuals died of natural causes (36.6% CVD, 6.6% respiratory). All exposures including the PM2.5 components were associated with natural mortality, with hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 1.026 (1.015, 1.038) per 5 µg/m3 PM2.5, 1.050 (1.041, 1.059) per 10 µg/m3 NO2, 1.057 (1.048, 1.067) per 0.5 × 10–5/m BC and 1.045 (1.040, 1.049) per 10 dB Lden total transportation noise. NO2, BC, Cu, Fe and noise were consistently associated with CVD and respiratory mortality, whereas PM2.5 was only associated with CVD mortality. Natural mortality associations persisted | 20 µg/m3 for PM2.5 and NO2, | 1.5 10–5/m BC and | 53 dB Lden total transportation noise. The O3 association was inverse for all outcomes. Including noise attenuated all outcome associations, though many remained significant. Across outcomes, noise was robust to adjustment to air pollutants (e.g. natural mortality 1.037 (1.033, 1.042) per 10 dB Lden total transportation noise, after including BC). Conclusion Long-term exposure to air pollution and transportation noise in Switzerland contribute to prematur
