I did know nothing about biking , Got a coach and did power watts training It has been already 5 years. I absolutely love my bike the handling is amazing light and fast. I also try other Brands but I am definitely for Specialized. I am thinking to get the SL8 , I would love to have this one. Nicole

    Regarding the POC Tempor, you mention toward the end that the redirected air is not designed to cool. To me, I would think with the design of the channels from front to rear, it appears to narrow to increase air speed and a drop in pressure through the helmet, which would actually promote cooling of the helmet insert which contacts the head and likely help with wicking sweat away and help with cooling. I could be wrong but that is how I see it.

    • @AlexDowsettOfficial
      @AlexDowsettOfficial 5 дней назад

      Absolutely agree, the padding inside tghe helmet is such that there is no contact between airflow through the helmet and the head so it's all entirely functional

    Using Goodwood for cycling is a great idea. Due to the proximity of housing with Chichester constantly expanding they have significant noise limitations - which limits the number of motorsport events they can run. Cycling wouldn't pose those sorts of issues for them (you would be a hell of a lot quieter than the aircraft taking off fro the centre airfield). A win win for Lord March and the Goodwood estate and for cycling...
