Cyclists: Just How Weak Are They? | The GCN Show Ep. 317

Clock00:00, Tuesday 5th February 2019

Welcome to the GCN Show. This week, are cyclist’s weak? Plenty to suggest that yes we are right here, but we’ve got some evidence to prove that it’s not completely true. Plus we've got the latest in Dan's Zero to Hero quest, which has included 2 rides, outdoors! We’ve also got news of research that once again opens up the helmet debate, sorry...

We've decided to start the #gcnpushup challenge to see how many press-ups cyclists, or even anyone, can do in 20 seconds. Vincenzo Nibali set the bar at 17 from a recent GCN Italia video, let's see our presenters fair. Are cyclists really as weak as they're made out to be?

Rankings so far:
Hank - 28
Dan Lloyd - 19
Tom Last - 19
Bridgewood - 18
Vincenzo Nibali - 17
Alan Marangoni - 13
Cannings - 12
Si - 10
Katherine - 8
