Last year Si and Matt said that they would ride across central London wearing only speedos if we raised a certain amount of money for World Bicycle Relief. You donated a staggering $170000. Time has passed, but I have not forgotten. Here we are, in Trafalgar Square, ready for action. Prepare for Si's ride across London...

With that money, World Bicycle Relief was able to buy 1203 Buffalo bikes. Bikes that literally changed people’s lives by giving them the ability to further, faster, and more safely, to open up opportunities as basic and fundamental as going to school or fetching water.

Andrea Tafi, the 52-year-old former winner of Paris Roubaix might well have got himself a world tour team for next year to give himself another crack at his favourite race, 20 years since he last won it. According to the UCI President, David Lappartient, it might be with team Dimension Data. No idea why he’s leaking that to the press, but there you go. Tafi’s Roubaix dream is getting closer.

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!

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!
