Ex-Professional Cyclists Matt "Tattoo" Stephens and Simon Richardson take on one another in an "urban battle of the bikes!"
The guys are starting close to the Siegessäule aka The Berlin Victory Column, and the race is on to see who reaches the Schindelhauer Bikes office on the other side of town first.
But who will win? Simon on his Schindelhaur Wilhelm bike complete with a Pinion Gearboxed Gates carbon belt drive with a 12 internal gears with a 600% range! or Matt on his Schindelhauer Viktor fixed gear bike, providing he can clip into the old school toeclips?

Simon and Matt are also using Cycliq lights which operate with a similar functionality to a dashcam in a car, but for a bike! A combination of lighting and HD quality recording, pretty cool.

With the use of Sena smart helmets with built in bluetooth technology as well as speakers & microphone, navigation is made a breeze, or is it? Watch to find out.

If you’re new to cycling, heading out onto busy, open roads can feel a little daunting, but we're here to help! In this video, Manon shares her top cycling tips that will help you handle traffic and improve your confidence navigating the roads!
Cyclists are known for their lean physiques. To some outsiders, they might appear "skinny" and "weak", and while we know that this isn’t the case, Dan & Si still tackle the debate head-on! In this week's show they dive into whether a cyclist's physique is truly the pinnacle of fitness ...or not!
If you were given £2,000 to buy any bike you want, what would you do? Here at GCN, we'd almost certainly go for a used bike.
Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
