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!

I haven't driven a vehicle in over a year.
I commute almost every day, unless the job is too far. 90% of the time I was riding.
I lost more than 50 lbs last year.
As a Dutchman this is just so confusing to watch 🙄
You could not convince me to commute to work on a bike seeing as I work at a ski area.
I'd say road bike is the GOAT. But if you live in a city with traffic lights you overtake every pedelec, but see it on the next stop again. So if your city is crowded and has no good bikeways, you lose a lot of time.
Also it depends how mountainous your area is. If you graveled your way uphill to work okay, but your sweaty smell maybe is not as good to impress your co-workers.
The word "cheaper" in cycling world means "Expensive parts" but saves you money because of avoiding public transportations 😂 every cyclist must agree on this, if not then that's outrageous hahaahha
I'd go with Connor's e-bike, if my goal is just getting from point A to point B. I don't want to get to work huffing and puffing and still need more time to change and get myself ready once there.
It's my first time commuting to work by bike, on top of that, I'm not yet that confident on a bike, I am not yet familiar with the route I will be taking from home to work, and I worry a lot when in open roads. Other drivers here in the Philippines can be idiots at times. Those worries alone already have me sweating profusely as it is! Iimagine arriving at work dripping in sweat?! 🤣
Cows do hunt in packs, heat makes them agressive, and are frightened by sunglasses. Glad you got out alive!!!
When you want to find the right bike, drive by heavy rain 😉
A daily bike with no mud guards is terrible. The bike isn't important. The mud guards are!
you guys have made me switch
Brompton, I do 20miles per day through the city 95% of the weekdays through out the year, not your speed bike but you can push it more than most ppl think. What sold me, if I have a pint after work, weather change badly or get puncture or so, jump on the train, tube or even bus to get to your destination…
I like my car better cause the speakers have really heavy bass
i want some of your cycling jerseys
I was born within spitting distance of Raleigh cycles in Nottingham. Hundreds of people commuting everyday on bikes. No one dressed in Lycra, no fancy bikes that only rich kids can afford, and no one wearing a silly hat. Worked fine, everyone made it to work safely and on time.
I go to work with a road racing bike.
But the challenge is the Hills.
I am saving to buy an E-bike I think I won't sweat more
AAAAHHHHH
When i was riding to work, i used to ride my roadbike. I even use a mini velo sometimes if i just want to enjoy the weather and not in a hurry. 😏
Backpack bike commute? No thanks.
I commute to work on a Trek FX 4, it’s been alright so far, but wouldnt complain if it could go a bit faster.
Can someone send me a bike? 🙁
Still struggle to understand why people would ever buy a ribble bike…..
I wish I can have a roadbike.
If I was riding a 100% urban commute I’d want straight bars! But, for a 20km ride, it would be very route specific. Bars over tyre width, gears, or even carrying capacity.
