2019 is set to be another busy year of new bikes and products but what bikes am I getting excited about not only seeing, but also hopefully riding this year? I share the six road and adventure bikes in the above video.
Do you agree or disagree with this list? Let’s hear the bikes you’re looking forward to seeing this year and why. I’m sure my list, as lists always do, will invite some discussion.

David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He’s a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He’s mildly competitive, though he’ll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur – Just Ride Bikes.
How annoying having to occasionally glance away from your phone to control your vehicle.
Agreed except it might help a tiny bit e.g. a camera that could detect a driver looking down at a phone, or when you're about to get close passed, and then give you a warning. You might get sick of the constant warning sounds though.
I think you should take a look at yourself.
This is like Schrödinger's cyclist isn't it? We can't have 20mph zones because drivers will crash because they're exercising all the concentration they have to keep below 20mph, but also we can't have them because they'll get bored and go on their phones.
But also So it's OK for people to be driving while on their phones around schools, but not anywhere else?
“I personally think this will cause more accidents as people have got more time on their hands to play with their phones and other gadgets in the car.” Tell me you're not fit to hold a driving licence without telling me you're not fit to hold a driving licence!
https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/highland-council-s-20mph-speed-limit-programme-picks-up-nati-437891/ the article fails to mention that the majority of motorists blithely ignore the 20mph limit, continuing to drive at 35 unless there's a marked police vehicle in sight or outed on waze.
Ours has a wardrobe in it - I guess that could have a mirror attached.
Canyon’s tech bike of the future close passes etc. I’m thinking this from a few years ago could be scaled down, electrics powered off the di2 etc, gas from co2 , triggered by your Garmin radar? https://youtube.com/shorts/W7OSeqyjaxQ?is=nM5cgzNCMXcSKfDZ
