We cyclists know that commuting by bike is the best way to get to work; it’s good for your health, it’s good for the planet and as well as that, it’s good for your wallet too! But which bike is the best for commuting – a gravel bike, and all-road bike, an e bike or a racing bike? We’ve teamed up with Ribble to find out for good!

Bike and bike path is awesome. my preferred route.
Anything more than a 30 min bike ride isn't worth it wasting your time. I'm not wasting an extra hour out of my little to no free time cycling to and from work. Maybe somedays to get the workouts in, but not everyday.
Top gear for bikes lol
Connor wins 🙂
interesting but missing a few points. First causal clothing is not practical for all year round UK commute! Second comfort? I have 2 bikes, race/summer (drop bars and clip peddles) e-bike/winter (flat bars, front sus & big tyres) only got the e-bike this year as in my mid 50'S as replacement for steel frame tourer previously used. I do 90 over 3 days a week (motorbike the other 2 days) The bonus I notice with the e-bike has been the comfort and posture is far more relaxing. Yes a mountain bike would give the same comfort but weight, tyres and drag would increase my commute time where the e-bike has negated this kept a constantly good commute time. but might just be my age?
Bit sick of the blatant plugging on GCN
I wanna a bike that I don't have to wear lycra 😂
Bro tryna ride these impractical ass bikes as a commute while wearing racing suits. Real bike commuters tend to wear normal shit and ride normal bikes with fenders
Defiantly the E Bike.
It makes sense.
Not everyone can stay fit every day. That motor is really helpful.
And you get to maintain pace with cars on the road, which makes things bit safer.
How are batteries better for the enviornment? Stop the lies and just sell the product.
This doesn't feel like an honest commuter challenge, you need to be under time pressure, it needs to be raining, you need to carry the clothes you'll be wearing during work, and a couple things extra (patch kit & whatnot) and you've got to be sleep deprived 😌. This doesn't represent the daily struggle at all ❤
i just use my GIANT Escape Disk 3. its fast enough that I can keep a pace of 30km/h no problem but also not an expensive pro bike, it can have racks and everything, its the perfect everything bike.
What’s an all road bike? You can put road tyres and a mudguard on a gravel bike, what what’s the difference?
I vote for E bike
Missing a fixie bike😂
I have a 3km commute on my £25 rat bike haha. It’s great and saves so much time
No single speed?
Lost cimmuter challenge by none if you using panniers, rucksack = sweaty back
So what if you all did the same route? And cost?
you live in a beautiful nation. I wish the united states had infrastructure and the beauty of the land.
I commute on a hardtail MTB. Not too long but I just enjoy being on the bike and do medium tours with it as well.
i'm sad with the lack of diversity in shape, they're all more or less standard cross tube frame bikes, theres no omafiets step through or step over frames, no cargo bikes of traditional or dedicated varieties, the e-bike had pannier racks but thats about it, not big enough to put a duffel bag on. fair enough for a dedicated cycling and not a bike commuting channel though
