UCI Bar Width Rule: Who’s Really Protected?

So the UCI just doubled down on their new handlebar width rule—minimum 400mm wide for road and cross, starting 2026—and MyVeloFit is not having it. The data kings are saying this move actually sidelines smaller riders and women, since real-world fit numbers show most need narrower bars (think 38cm, not 40). UCI claims it’s about safety, but if you’ve ever been pro-fit, you know this could cause more harm than good. MyVeloFit’s petition is gaining steam—do you think the UCI will actually listen? #cycling #UCI #MyVeloFit #Sports
