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.
Thanks to @buycycle Si, Alex, and special guest star from @gtn Mark Threlfall have done exactly that. Between them they've gone for a modern future-proof bike, a five year old superbike, and a time trial bike.
But most importantly, which is the best £2,000 used bike we could buy?

We all know that cycling is the best way to get to work, but which is the best bike for commuting? From road bikes, gravel bikes, e-bikes, to folding bikes, there are so many choices that it can sometimes feel hard to pick one! Join Si to find out what to consider to find the perfect type of commuter bike for you! 00:00 What is the perfect bike to commute on? 01:08 Long Haul Bikes (Road and Gravel Bikes) 03:44 Short Haul Bikes 03:46 Town Bike 04:16 E Bike 06:05 Cargo Bike 07:20 Traditional Bikes (Fixie and Vintage MTB) 08:27 Folding Bike 09:09 Other Considerations
In this interesting challenge, the GCN crew attempt to see just how long they can last riding at the same pace as Tadej Pogacar would in the Tour de France. Using the new Zwift Ride trainer, everyone was able to have a crack at it - even some of the GTN and GMBN crew! But who do you think lasted the longest?
What is the "fourth dimension" of cycling performance, or the endurance marker, that separates the best cyclists from the rest? While having a high VO2 max, and other physical markers are important, new studies suggest that having incredible fatigue resistance might be the secret to elite performance!
