In this episode of Service Course Tom spends time with the scientists, the artisans, the designers, the fabricators and the builders as he visits Bespoked 2022 to see some of the most beautiful hand-built bikes the world has to offer. At the show Tom speaks with the Namibian High Commissioner to Great Britain, Dan “Dan from Nam” Craven, and the man whose love for a specific chainring resulted in him buying and resurrecting the company that made it. Tom also hears from the people behind bike brands including Eastwood, Avalanche, BCB, Cybro and Aravis.

Back in the studio Tom and Lizzy take a look at the big tech news in cycling which this month has been dominated by Filippo Ganna’s extraordinary hour record attempt.
