Safety within cycling is a hot topic at the moment.
Geraint Thomas has seen the sport develop a lot during his near-20-year spell in the peloton. According to the Welshman however, not nearly enough is being done to keep the riders safe.
“Traffic calming, curbs sticking out, all this kind of stuff: that certainly adds an element of danger as well. If I thought about it too much, I would be at the back, I wouldn’t be racing," the former Tour de France winner, who's been no stranger to a crash himself over the years, says in conversation with Velo. “It’s frustrating. Nothing has changed since
Gino Mäder. In this sport, it’s got that danger element already, but I feel that they could do so much more to increase safety.”
