US House Mandates AM Radio in New Vehicles; Specialized Unveils Gravel Bike

In a move that saw rare bipartisan agreement, the U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed legislation requiring all new vehicles to be equipped with AM radio functionality. This decision aims to preserve access to a traditional broadcast medium that many automakers have been phasing out, ensuring continued availability for news, emergency alerts, and diverse programming.

Separately, Specialized has introduced its new Diverge Pro 4 and Diverge 4 Pro gravel bicycles. These models are designed to excel on challenging off-road terrain, indicating a focus on performance and versatility for cyclists seeking to tackle rough gravel paths and varied landscapes. The introduction of these specialized bikes highlights ongoing innovation within the cycling industry for enthusiasts of adventure riding.
