The show follows the progress of five regular cyclists as they build and ride five ‘bikes in a box’ bought from Asda, Toy’s r Us, Tesco, Halfords and Argos.
The show is to be hosted by Radio 4’s John Humpries. John Stevenson of Future Publishing’s cycling portfolio will also be on hand to oversee the bike building, as will South Coast Bikes’ Paul Topham. Both will provide a commentary of the builds in progress.
