Richard Allen's company, Allen Sports, is pushing the boundaries of bike transport with a new Bluetooth-monitored suction cup device. At £299, it promises peace of mind as you navigate traffic, but will it outperform traditional racks?

The Smart Suction Go isn't just for bikes; the tech also mounts cameras to vehicles, adding another layer of complexity.

Questions abound: has anyone actually tested its reliability? What happens when suction fails and how long do you have to react? And in scorching heat or freezing cold, can it still hold firm?

The company claims a lifespan of seven to ten years with typical consumer use. Will this be enough for avid cyclists who rely on their bikes daily?
