Does cycling help you lose weight or is it just down to a good diet? Si and Dan discuss the health benefits of cycling with expert nutritionist Nigel Mitchell. They discover if it is ever possible to out-ride a bad diet. There’s also news on why Mathieu van der Poel might give up cyclocross, and a brand new race called ‘The Accursed’.

Tell us about your cycling nutrition 🥦
14:49 "cue-dos" 🤣🤣🤣. That's right up with the trainer company "w-hooo" 🤪
Daniel San is showing his age. 1984 and he remember it! He was already old enough.
Is what you eat, ie processed or unprocessed foods the key?
Lol so much funny banner and parts today. I don't usually L-O-L during the GCN Show!
I expect the bike carrier on the cargo bike was an e-bike and he was out to go for a pedal with his faster road bike
The equation is simple. When you're riding you're not eating. Also vigorous exercise curbs the appetite, at least for me.
I studied nutrition for 3 years. While there is some evidence to show that the average BMR of a hunter gatherer for example, may have been similar to that of the average over weight Brit, it doesn’t mean that the hunter gatherer expended the same amount of energy.
It simply means that if a hunter gatherer were to sit on their arse the entire day, and do nothing. They would need the same amount of calories as today’s man, to live.
They haven’t taken exercise or moving around into account at all
Would have been interesting if you guys had done some research into the calories in calories out / balance model. Life’s just not that simple, and the science supports a different perspective.
I started cycling this past summer, road 2000km in 5 months and lost 27 pounds. So what ever they say I know the truth.
For me, cycling is a poor weight loss method. Better plan I have found is to walk. I do four days a week, about 1 mile. Way better than cycling. I'm 65 and had a gut that would not go away, now it is gone. I do eat whatever I like and have no diet restriction.
I cycle roughly two hours per day (mostly zone 1-2 riding) and maintain weight on about 800-1000 more calories than what a sedentary person of my size should theoretically require. If I were to stop cycling altogether and eat the same amount of calories as I currently am, I'm fairly certain I'd gain weight. Since I'm only doing lower zone "lengthy leisure" rides that don't leave me gasping for air, I'm constantly wondering if I'm burning any calories at all.
The bike on a bike is actually a bike on an E-bike. So getting to a mountain bike trail quickly, efficiently, and environmentally are good reasons.
Caption "hope confusion ends soon"
Not going to lie, I do prefer the -32*C with blue skies in Ottawa, ON, Canada vs the 5 months of grey sky in Vancouver or London. Either way, I now live in Dunedin, NZ. It snowed twice last winter, barely got below -2*C.

"Cobra Klimb Never Dies: Bike first bike hard, no mercy"
And we all know Dan's the greatest of all time
I think everything that gets you out of a car is a massive hack and taking your bike to the shop is plenty good enough reason. I myself do bike maintanance for all my friends and family and have been known to deliver in a cargo bike. Picture in the link below.

MVDP comments taken out of context… he has nothing left to achieve in CX – but is sticking around to still go for the most number of Worlds wins (7)… he also stated this week that his best results on the Road are after a mini-CX season, which helps keep the preparation on point in the winter.
I've lost 20 kg after I started cycling. Still eating "wrong" stuff.
I think Dan has hit the nail on the head. Someone new to cycling will feel like half an hour at 10kph feels like the workout that it is 😰 and may have burned say 200kcal – 2 choc biscuits-ish! Or a third of a 600kcal piece of cake 😮Trust me I've researched this 😂
My understanding is that exercise is brilliantly beneficial in reshaping headspace and helping to make better food choices and a better, less processed diet fuels energy…..to cycle more. So in a few weeks you burn 300kcal in your half hour cycling by further and harder and so the (haha) cycle continues. Tim Spector rules 😅
So the calorie stats on my Wahoo don't tell me anything, really?
I'm with the Canadians on the weather, the South of England is neither, cold, wet or windy. After 50 years living North of Aberdeen, visiting the south of England was like going to the tropics. 😂😂 😂
