Matt Stephens The Cafe Ride - Rebecca Charlton Episode | Sigma Sports

Broadcaster and cyclist Rebecca Charlton fully embraced the active pregnancy lifestyle, and in her third trimester, she welcomed Matt Stephens to the South Downs Link for a Sigma Sports Cafe Ride like no other.
The two pals had lots to chat about while riding along Rebecca's favourite gravel path, including the history of Bramber Castle, pronunciation faux pas, cycling during pregnancy and the challenges facing women in a male-dominated sporting environment.

Who would YOU like to see on the next Cafe Ride??

[@jeffreymace6357]

Chris Boardman. The first in what was to become a long list of Olympic gold medalists. He's also local to me so it would be interesting to see where he chose to take you. More than likely a little trip into North Wales

[@sigmasports]

@@jeffreymace6357 Incredible suggestion! Thanks.

[@andrewstokoe1850]

Victoria Pendleton

[@Nearly-at-the-top]

Lizzie Deignan

[@EMC2Scotia]

Malcolm Elliot, Sean Yates, or one of the top domestic pros of the '80's and 90's (Joey McLoughlin would be an amazing subject!)

[@tarajones-legros3661]

Lovely, lovely video and even lovelier guest - Rebecca!! Absolutely beautiful inside and out. What a wonderful, strong, confident example of a woman cyclists! Thank you Rebecca, for your courage and poise and thank you Matt for another video that brings a smile!!

[@padraic8873]

Matt, saves the best line for last, "the smell of babies, it's like biscuits" classic! great video!

[@sigmasports]

A real insight! Thanks for watching!

[@irvb9881]

Love the cafe ride series. Matt is such an engaging host / interviewer, and one of the funniest people out there. Keep them coming.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for the comments and cheers for watching!

[@nickjohnson710]

Your right about matt.......but when hes commenting on live cycling I can't take him serious!!!!

[@davidwylie4677]

Great video, I use to have work meetings with Rebecca's dad. Meant to be talking all things gas and we would end up talking cycling, and Graham would show everyone in the meetings Rebecca's highlights on KZbin, super proud and wasn't shy about showing it. Lovely stuff.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks, David! Cheers for watching!

[@markhancock7527]

Great interview again matt well done Rebecca as a new Grandfather myself its great to have a little person in the family,this was truly great & i think you are the best at these kind of interviews keep them going & once again Congratulations to Rebecca her husband & enjoy the new baby.

[@notyourrealfather]

Great video, and they looked like great friends, they should do more together!

[@danrichards-theonearmedwon7813]

Such a great episode; I mean they’re all great to be fair. Matt is such a great host and the whole team put together a great production. Every episode I can’t help but feel I’m listening to a conversation with a couple of mates!

[@sigmasports]

Thanks, Dan! Great to get your feedback and we love that we can bring you these conversations.

[@Bemoregrace]

Absolutely brilliant episode. My two favourite cycling presenters. Rebecca you are such a role model and inspiration for not just young girls to take up cycling but working mums and pregnant mums to keep doing what they love and staying healthy. Chapeau

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for the comments and cheers for watching! Rebecca is a true inspiration.

[@ricecrash5225]

It’s quickly becoming one of my bucket list wishes. An actual cafe ride with Matt Stephens !!

Dream big! Thanks for watching!

[@Joshuavoice29]

He seems like he would be so fun to spend the day riding with.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Here for Matt's infectious laughter lol Always a sterling watch.... love the PREGGS mug that made me laugh out loud - big fan of Greggs.

Another classic Cafe Ride episode - there hasn’t been a bad one yet, funny, entertaining but also addressing important issues with just the right balance and I’d love to see them more regularly! Matt Stephens at his absolute best comparing the aroma of babies to biscuits! 🤣👌🏼

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching, Gareth! More coming in 2022!

[@sigmasports]

Amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@justinburrell5836]

Thank you Matt and the rest of the team for the wonderful work you do. Cycling is and has always been a personal experience that isn't just about the results. The stories of late have showcased this and I hope you’re able to keep this going. Cheers!

[@mitch9294]

That conversation around the 15:00-19:00 mark is something everyone needs to hear and appreciate

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching! Your comments are appreciated!

[@markmitchenall5948]

More Matt Stephens interview gold! I've only ever played cricket there, but last few times I've ridden bike to game, only ever once got to put lap in because other cricket teams playing same day had track blocked. Plus there are the children riding in the wrong direction hazards. Great video again! Think Rebecca and Matt could team up for more of these.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching, and for the kind comments!

[@johnnydoe66]

This was absolutely delightful.....Best of luck to Rebecca on the birth of the little one. Entertaining as always Matt, he was such a great commentator on GCN and it's great to see him continue with the same enthusiasm

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching! The support is appreciated!

[@altern8tive]

Matt is the best mate everybody wishes they had. Legend. And congrats to Rebecca and family 👊

[@sigmasports]

[@alisonbeezer6952]

A very enjoyable video. Rebecca is such a positive example and I hope she is being taken seriously now.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching and for your comments!

[@leegreenaway8006]

Another masterpiece from Mr Stephens. It helps when you have great guests like Rebecca, but Matt always seems to put his guests at ease and gets some great conversations from them.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching and your comments!

[@goldenmath4091]

Love it Matt, your description of bike rides suits me so well , I have road, gravel and MTB and I love all of them, just being out on your bike, makes you feel like a kid Great series this, look forward to them

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching!

[@gordonbarnes8229]

Another great video from Matt - wondered why it hadn`t been released earlier then at the end saw a great conclusion to the video! Well done both - sorry all three - of you!

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching!

[@jshaw4944]

1st ever bike video to compare the small of babies 👶 to biscuits 🍪. Another superb café ride video.

[@sigmasports]

We do things differently here... Thanks for watching!

[@tonybradley9909]

Excellent video ended in a very sensitive and complete conclusion. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Matt….

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching, Tony!

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

Well done great video once again. Nice to go back at the end to see the lil one. Well done Rebecca & Paul hope your enjoying the baby. Sad Rebecca has to worry about hate for riding when pregnant...its a sad world we love in.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for the support!

[@markclements1509]

Another fantastic Cafe Ride, met Becca a few years ago at the London Bike Show and she was lovely and engaging and only stopped talking as she was due on stage.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for the insight! Cheers for watching!

[@The_BenboBaggins]

Love the energy of Matt's Cafe Rides!

[@sigmasports]

Thanks, Ben!

[@andrewcalladine2507]

Our club did a downs link ride from Guildford to Shoreham and back again a few months ago, fantastic day out, albeit muddy!

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Another great video. Ok Rebecca mentions about her size because she is pregnant but one of the things I love about cycling is whatever our size , colour or religion we are all cyclists and help each other if there is a need to. I just love it when I see someone who is on the large size , and I am no whippet , out there enjoying themselves on their bike. Even when they come flying past me.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for watching!

[@martinevans1256]

Absolutely love these cafe rides and Matt is so funny

[@michellejohnstone6106]

Brilliant cafe ride as usual love to watch while chilling out. Matt has such a great manner and his hilarious comments are so funny !! When this video flashed up and seeing Rebecca was 7 months pregnant and doing the ride my mind went into over drive .After watching the video I then thought why shouldn't a pregnant woman ride a bike Rebecca looked so happy comfortable and at ease on the bike it was great to watch.I wish Rebecca all the best when her child is born and thanks Sigma for another great video .This KZbin account is in my girlfriends name ,I hope my first thought that pregnant women shouldn't ride bikes doesn't offend anyone but as a male cyclist I can definitely say this video has made me realise how wrong I was !!!!!

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for the insight! Cheers for watching!
