Colnago has announced it is to integrate blockchain technology into its new bikes, claiming to be the first cycling manufacturer to link its physical products to a virtual ledger. This is, it says, to ensure the validity and proof of ownership of new Colnago frames. 

The Italian premium road bike manufacturer will use blockchain technology across its frames starting in 2022, with the first bike to feature the tech being the one that Tadej Pogačar will race this Sunday at the World Championship road race in Belgium.
