We know that Ollie Bridgewood is not as good as the pros (despite what he might tell you about dropping a certain Alberto Contador). However, what about if he was racing against a pro on the very cheapest of bikes? We enlisted the help of professional cyclist Rory Townsend to find out!

  1. I always want a road bike. Expensive or cheap one. Having one would be one of the greatest moment i could have. But dont have the budget. Still hoping i could save money

  2. But here in my country where those smooth roads for road bikes are mostly highways, such a lightweight bike means crosswinds are going to throw you off the road. So a mtb with knobby tyres gives me the much needed traction to stay on road even if it means sacrificing on efficiency and speed

  3. For 10km 200+m elevation routes i average 30kmph on my Rockrider st100 and im a 5'6 30 years old dude from India…
    My rockrider st 100 is a mountain bike and it costs INR 15k which is 150 GBP approx. How about that?

  4. Really like this video… Great fun… but I'm a 122Kg 54 year old who just started biking again a year ago… I doubt even a SUPER DUPER Bike could make me go faster! hahaha. Truly a fun video that had me smiling and cheering the entire time!
