Plus, they discuss a $30,000 steel Condor, bid farewell to the most powerful woman in cycling, share updates on fundraising for Dan's 350km ride, comments of the week, & much more!

We love cycling (as you know!), but in this show, Si Richardson and Dan Lloyd ask a fun question: If you could change one thing about cycling, what would it be? From small things like making bikes easier to clean, to bigger changes, like improving how non-cyclists treat cyclists, we share all the ideas presenters here at GCN came up with.

We've also got the latest cycling news, a Christmas-themed "Hack/Bodge of the Week", and much more!

Cycling might be one of the most watched sports globally, but how does it fare as a hobby in the eyes of the public? 🤔

Surprisingly, surveys suggest that cycling doesn’t even crack the top 15 most attractive hobbies. Naturally, this sparked a bit of debate at GCN Megabase, so we sent Hank out for an “independent” public survey to settle it once and for all.

Let’s just say... it didn’t quite go to plan! 🚴‍♂️😂

Is cycling getting too fast? After the Tour de France director raised this concern, we’re diving into the debate. Could the extreme speeds during races be causing the terrible crashes we’ve seen this year? Is this really the problem, and what can be done to make racing safer? Plus, we're sharing bad news out of Canada, a new King KOM, and how bike lanes are making roads safer for everyone. 🚦👀

Could this be the secret to improving your training?
