Episode Synopsis

In Episode 8 of The RCT Show, we’re back in full swing after another great weekend on the bike — and this one had it all. We talk about our latest group ride through the colorful autumn landscape around Prague, the joys and pains of tubeless setups (RIP Jan’s rear tire 😢), and how our new teammate Max is adjusting to clipless pedals and faster pacing.We also touch on everything from meeting a Czech cross-country racer during a solo ride, to Dooring accidents in Prague’s notoriously chaotic city center — and what that says about the state of cycling infrastructure. Expect candid discussion about how city design affects cyclists, what Prague could learn from Germany and the Netherlands, and what car drivers still don’t understand about the benefits of better bike lanes.On the gear side, we geek out about: • A leaked Cannondale CAAD14 prototype • A mystery Continental gravel tire spotted at Gravel Worlds • The real-world performance and sustainability of aluminum vs carbon vs steel bikesWe also tease an upcoming episode all about working with personal cycling coaches, featuring guest input from our own teammates.It’s a packed episode full of real talk, technical insights, daily ride stories, and some spicy takes on urban planning and bike brand aesthetics. Whether you’re a commuter, a racer, or a weekend warrior — there’s something in this one for you.👇 Drop a comment if you’ve ever ridden home on a flat, had a door open on you, or just love a good autumn ride.🎥 Watch the short video from Jan’s ride through central Prague here: https://youtube.com/shorts/FLAAXSODJow#CyclingPodcast #TheRCTShow #GroupRide #TubelessTires #CyclingCommunity #CannondaleCAAD14 #CyclingAccidents #UrbanCycling #ContinentalTires #BikeCommuting #CyclingInfrastructure #GravelCycling #FallRides #PragueCycling #CyclingTips #AluminumBikes #CarbonVsAluminum #ProCycling #BikeLife #CommuterCycling #CyclingGear #EcoFriendlyCycling
