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.
