WHAM! popstar turned cyclist Andrew Ridgeley takes Matt Stephens on a stunning tour of Cornwall in this delightful episode of the Sigma Sports Café Ride.
Both men have a love of music stretching back to the heyday of vinyl, and after a quick stop at a record shop, it was time to embark on Andrew’s gruelling route with plenty of hills to test the legs.
But when the sun shines on a summer’s day, the rewards are certainly worth it. With stops for selfies along the beautiful Cornish coastline, a beachside coffee stop and fish and chips by the harbour wall, this could well be the perfect summer training ride.

Everyone of these that I watch, I end up saying the same thing …. Absolutely excellent, yet again
How nice a guy is Andrew Ridgeley as well ? And how good a cyclist too.
Brilliant
As always, the interviews are phenomenal, and the visual storytelling with the video and production are spot on. One of the best programs on streaming television right now.
Boom. Fantastic work Matt and Sigma.
Two world class people go bike riding 👍👍
Didn’t get the chance to chat with either Matt or Andrew in Ibiza , but the fact he loves Watergate bay would definitely have been a talking point. Hope you’ll both be there next year Joyriding
Brill!!!
Really enjoyed that one!😊😊
Loved this episode such a joy to I watch . Gary Kemp next perhaps?
What an amazing guy Andrew Ridgeley is and a cyclist too! Beautiful shots of our stunning Cornwall, real feel good video 😊
Brilliant! Just when you think Matt can’t top the previous Cafe Ride episode he pulls another one out of the top drawer. Andrew was a great ‘ride companion’, very engaging. He also looks in great shape – literally dancing on the pedals up the climbs. I really enjoyed that.
Hope your recovery is going well Matt.
This was a fabulous film, the warmth of Matt’s personality shines through. A really lovely interview between two great people. Two passionate humans talking about bikes and music ❤
Loved this! Many happy holidays around Padstow, you rode past our favourite places, Harlyn, Constantine, fish & chips in Padstow 😊 my favourite cafe ride so far 😁
Well done Matt and Andy. Do a follow up soon.
This was amazing!
Love Andrew’s kit. Who makes it?
Andrew's arms are impressivley hairy!
Gravy? On fish and chips. Matt! Where were you brung up? Lol.
So true about everyone born between 1950 and 1970 having this holiday! Beautiful place and a great ride with two lovely fellas
Thank you for another brilliant cafe ride. You brought me back to my childhood and the love of music and cycling.
Both cool guys 😊
Quality
Best one yet 👌🏼 Andrew is such a nice guy 🙏🏻
I used to do those hills on my Brompton when I lived in wadebridge.
Amazing. I adore this serie and it keeps getting better. But I have to admit…it's the ugliest helmets I have ever seen 😂😂😂
To my shame, since the days of Wham I hated Andrew for no real reason. What a lovely, interesting guy!
Excellent video, what a lovely guy and legend.
What a great show
What a lovely guy! Great video!
What a pile of woke shite , George Michael was a great singer who had so much talent , but he was also a sexual deviant who hung around Mens toilets and was using drugs .Ridgeley didn’t see Michael for many years and he was never on the same musical level as George Michael, then he turned up in the media when George died. Matt Stephen’s came across as a grovelling sycophantic fanboy in this episode, it was pretty awful to watch .
So great! Love these videos and would have never known Andrew is the massively fit cyclist that he is. Impressive! Matt always the best.
It was the Sony Walkman that transformed pop music as people could turn their favourite tracks or mix tapes into the soundtracks of their lives. Wham timed it beautifully for that era of music portability and feel good 80's vibe. Great video and top album choices
Getting proper Contador vibes from Andrew when he's on the bike!!
Did he let slip any secrets about George, was it a careless whisper!
Michael Smiley needs to be on the show!! (Tyres from Spaced), the OG TV cyclist!! 👍👍❤❤
Brilliant👌
Such an amazing walk down memory lane with an absolute legend of my adolescence. Wham defined a generation when life just seemed better ….
