Your next road bike might look like an airplane

The UCI has a lot of silly technical rules, but there\u2019s one that isn\u2019t on the books that could potentially keep a lot of riders from crashing. It doesn\u2019t have anything to do with the bikes themselves, though; it would apply to bottles and cages. Existing rules for aero tube shapes are also about to change either way and how exactly that will affect the shape of future bikes is anything but certain. Will your next bike sprout a seatpost out of its top tube? Will road bikes look like triathlon bikes? Maybe, or maybe not.
