    We need to talk about cyclists behaving badly... It’s not a subject we like talking about or are taking lightly, but we think it’s important. Si Richardson & Dan Lloyd delve into what's happened in terms of bad cyclist behaviour and discuss what can be done about it.

    Plus, we've got a new ranking of Europe's most child-friendly cycling cities, an off-the-scale fashion faux pas from one of the world's best pro cyclists, and a man riding where no one has ever ridden before. 😎

  • This week, Si and Dan dive deep into Levi's GranFondo – an event renowned for its stunning Californian scenery but equally infamous for its challenging route. We explore the unique dynamic of this event, which successfully blends a mass participation ride with a fiercely contested, unsupported race, truly taking cycling back to its basics! Is this the ultimate test?

    Alongside our main talking point, we've got a packed show covering the latest cycling news, tech, and more! Including a new 24-hour indoor cycling record, Marianne Vos' incredible lifetime contract, concerns over potential US cycling tariffs, Gary Fisher's backing of a new eBike brand, the sleek new Colnago V5RS, and Zwift's adjustable cranks.
    Plus, we announce competition winners, launch a new competition for a Redshift Cockpit Bundle, pay tribute to the legendary Barry Hoban, and bring you your favourite segments

After some wild scenes at Paris-Roubaix, we’re talking hooligan behaviour, rider safety, and what needs to be done about this. 👀 Plus we've got a basketball legend who thinks he can help UAE Team Emirates, how we may have accidentally predicted the future, and how Alex Paton was humbled on his latest trip to the US. 🇺🇸💥

    Does the increasing popularity of gravel riding have anything to do with a growing fear of riding on roads? And if so, does that mean we’re admitting defeat to motorists? After a gravel ride over the weekend, Dan Lloyd got to thinking.

  • Pro cycling speeds have gotten faster and faster. But what role has tech played in that? One of the chief architects of that evolution has been the performance engineer Jean-Paul Ballard, and we sat down with him at the Immenstadt wind tunnel in Germany to discuss all the things that make riders faster and the things that don't. As well as the things that will make us faster in the future!

    He’s a fascinating person to speak to, so we hope you enjoy our conversation!

    Pogačar and Van der Poel are getting ready to face-off at the Tour of Flanders next weekend! They're the hottest properties in men’s cycling right now, but are they ACTUALLY as good as we’re all making them out to be? Or does their legendary status have something to do with the epic "rivalry" they have against each other? Dan Lloyd & Si Richardson dive in!

    Plus, new pedal designs, a book from a former GCN presenter, and why the UCI are reversing a measure they put into pro cycling to improve safety just a few years ago...

  • Belgian coach Kristof de Kegel has been at the forefront of professional cycling for over a decade. Now a key member of Alpecin–Deceuninck’s management team, he is involved in decision-making processes that shape the form and season direction of the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen.
    Our very own presenter, Conor Dunne, was actually coached by him once upon a time too! In this video, Conor catches up with Kristof for a full discussion on training principles, philosophies and what it takes to win in pro cycling in 2025.

    This week, Dan Lloyd & Si Richardson discuss how many of us might be making a fundamental mistake with our cycling, focusing on power not speed...

    Plus, we cover cycling glasses with built-in A.I, a GCN shoutout in a parliamentary debate, hack/bodge of the week, AND, an update on knitting while cycling. 🤣

  • While investigating bike theft for a video, we spoke with Bryan Hance, a U.S.-based cybersecurity expert and co-founder of Bike Index, a nonprofit dedicated to recovering stolen bikes. With years of experience, he's seen it all—but his biggest case took nearly four years to unravel, exposing a single man behind a $2.1 million bike trafficking operation. 😳 Bryan gives us a peek into the case & reflects on what it means more generally for cycling.

    🚴 New research just dropped that might give us some optimism on improving cycling for everyone...but can we actually do anything about it? We hear from one of the authors, who explains how the "loud majority" in local activism doesn’t always reflect what most people want. What role might this play in cycling? 👀

    Plus, we've got scary news on car crash prevention systems, an epic comeback story, the end of Netflix's "Unchained", and a roundup of the most hipster gravel and ultra races from last week!

    Could riding less—or even not at all—actually make you a better cyclist? How much can you really improve with rest? After finding a study showing someone improved their VO2 max more after taking a long break from exercise, Dan Lloyd and Si Richardson got curious. 🤔

    They discuss it in today's show, plus, why they believe Tadej Pogačar might race Paris-Roubaix this year, how cycling could save your employer thousands, a major announcement with Core, Egan Bernal’s amazing first win since his crash, and more!

    Are there roads we shouldn't ride on, even if we legally can?! In today's show, Dan Lloyd and Si Richardson discuss whether we should exercise our rights as cyclists to ride down roads that might be potentially dangerous due to motorists, or just save ourselves from the "hassle" and find quieter roads. What's the line?

    Plus, we share some big news from GCN & Zwift, update you on the World Cyclocross Championships, bring you the fastest road bike in the world, and much more!
