00:00In this episode of Bicycling's Bike Shop, we're going to start off with talking about VO2 Max
00:05and what it is and how it is going to change the page. If you're someone that's worried about
00:11maintaining your VO2 Max, my best bit of advice is spice up your riding. Don't just ride medium
00:17hard all the time. Ride easy and then ride real hard. And then we get into talking about quick
00:24links, which is surprisingly a fascinating subject. This is a small little piece. It really
00:30is something that can make or break a ride, but it's also kind of a debated topic of can you
00:38reuse it. Finally, we have a member question that actually we've gotten a few times, so we're
00:44finally addressing it from folks that are using a first generation Wahoo or an earlier generation
00:50Garmin and kind of want to know, you know, they're ready for an upgrade, but they want to
00:55know what they should get. That's what's in this episode of Bicycling's Bike Shop. The only way
00:58you can see the whole video is to become a member.
