GARMIN dominates cycling… and that’s a problem |

In today's episode, I discuss Garmin's dominance in the world of cycling computers and how we've reached the point of calling any bike GPS "the Garmin," even if it's from another brand. I analyze how a single brand can achieve such dominance in an entire sector, what that means for cyclists, and why it can be dangerous for consumers.
I also discuss the current rivalry between brands like Wahoo, Hammerhead, and Bryton, the war for innovation, the ever-increasing prices, and how a market without real competition can ultimately stifle product evolution.
Because when a single brand dominates a sector too much, users often end up paying more for less innovation.
