Summary

In this episode of Service Course, Tom jacks into the metaverse for a closer look at Bike Club, a new cycling club based around NFTs and run using block chain technology. Tom also looks at the wider ways in which sports are embracing NFTS, and with them cryptocurrencies, and how those technologies might alter the way we interact with online cycling platforms like Zwift. Along the way we hear from Rich Mitch and Tyler Benedict from Bike Club, Wes Salmon from Zwift, host of Welcome To The Metaverse Luke Franks, Capital Block CEO Tim Magnall, as well as The Cycling Podcast’s own Lionel Birnie and Kate Wagner.
