Very enjoyable Top Gear vibe. It's much more entertaining and relatable to see the lads riding cheap or novelty bikes than the latest ultra light speed machines
Carlton Kirkby, eurosport cycling commentator. He narrates a couple of the other GCN presenter challenges (with the original 4). Also well worth a watch
:') Probably the best GCN video yet! Matt looks absolutely in his element and rather suave on the Carlton - he definelty got the best bike out of the lot.
This was peak GCN: Matt, Si, Dan, Lasty, the narration. I just can't stop grinning at 16:00 when Lasty's bike is on its last leg and just collapses in on itself 😂
That laughter is worth the entire video, I cant believe he used to be a cop, now he makes people all over the world laugh their ass off on the internet. Fantastic!
This was by far the best video from you guys. I am still crying tears of laughter and my wife is looking at me as if I were a lunatic. The commentary was hilarious! Please do more of these - can't wait to watch them.
Thank you GCN for the early X'mas present. You reminded me the true spirit of X'mas. Its not about what or how much you spend but that you share it with your mates. That is priceless.
A worthy winner! I spent 3 winters commuting on a Gryphon I got from ebay. I did put some decent brakes on it but it was comfortable and sure footed in all conditions. Although I'd still pick the Carlton if I was buying a bike tomorrow as I'd love to add something classic to my shed.
Incredible. I had a horrific day and I've been in a bad mood the entire day.. And this video had me in stitches.. Laughing out loud all by myself.. This is absolute gold content. Thanks gcn.
Great video - should do another challenge and mix it up a bit by throwing in maintenance challenges and allowing an upgrade after a certain time when they know what needs improving most (new frame in Toms case!)
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this channel for a while. The production quality for is really really good. I would really watch this on TV. Probably because it is a Christmas Special, but doing more videos like this is definitely something I would recommend
Lad, this has been the most anticipated video for 3 years also it has been the most requested video ever here in the comments section of Every video.... and..... it delivers big time. I watched it in bed last night and work the whole gaff up laughing many times. Thanks so much for this and I hope we get a top gear challenge every month .
The comtary to this hilarious & wheels up in memory of the grandma bike or oil cause she's old tests very hilarious funny guys U need to do more of stuff like these poor grandma my heart broke when you did 😆😅😂🤣
I don't know how I missed this one, but it just cracked me up! I about choked to death on my fig bar when I saw Lasty's 3 wheeler folding up where as he couldn't pedal without hitting the pavement with the crankarms, great humor guys and we can't forget about the classic laugh of Matt Stephens again great show guys thanks!
Let us know which bike you'd choose 👇
Global Cycling Network definitely Lasty’s
Gotta be Dan's, if you can't go fast, go cool!
Lasty’s!!!!!!
That Schwinn. I want to cruise my hood on that beauty!
Love this challenge! PLEASE do another one of these - maybe include a 100m drag race?!
Kudos to the narrator too!
I love Lasty's trike!
Gcn goes top gear :p
literally just paused the grand tour to watch this. It can wait.
If they were named The grand tour , BBC's lawyers would have contacted them by now :D
+PTTM2006 bbc don't own the grand tour
PTTM2006 More like "The Gran Fondo", or GCN "The Big Ring".
I was thinking exactly the same x)
Okay, but that first bike was beautiful! I would totally sport that.
I had one of those and loved it
miss the old gcn tho
I had one, beautiful bike

@@2BTO lol
Still one of the best GCN videos ever. Please do more of these!
Hi James, we're glad you're enjoying it! Here's a video we did last year! 👉 ruclips.net/video/51MCJVg2DNE/видео.html
Please...in the name of all things holy....do more of these! Just. Fantastic.
Thanks Brian! We loved making it!
@@gcn It's a bit like old Top Gear, but with cycling
Very enjoyable Top Gear vibe. It's much more entertaining and relatable to see the lads riding cheap or novelty bikes than the latest ultra light speed machines
The narration is 🔥
nice
It is tho
Barried like his ant should’ve been
I can't get over how Matt laughs :D this was fun to watch
Hu-ah HA! HA!
I know!
I died laughing throughout the challenge!
he is leaving GNC tho :(
It's what im gonna miss the most
"Who has the biggest wheelie...".
I laughed so hard, I snorted.
The fart was funnier. 😁
You guys are great together!!! It’s like the original Top Gear on bicycles!!! Keep up the great work .
Brought a catapult to a nuclear war hahahaahha
The narrator was hilarious too
If only he brought a trebuchet.
One of the funniest videos of yours in a long time!
بلغلط
اسف بلغلط
You said it mate الأيمان بالله
You said it mate الأيمان بالله
Who is this commentator? He is absolutely hilarious.
“Time to take Granny for a spin” 😂😂😂
Carlton Kirkby, eurosport cycling commentator. He narrates a couple of the other GCN presenter challenges (with the original 4). Also well worth a watch
*Kirby
Hes unfunny
This reminds me of the old top gear challenges, love it! Top work guys thanks for the quality content
Glad you like it! Jon
You still canal Watch them in The Grand Tour
Yes me to
Matt's laugh gets a lot of deserved love, but Lloydy has a great chuckle himself.
No question that I love GCN videos, but this one is uphill hilarity at its finest. Had to chug a beer for this. Life is good.
Best GCN video ever, period. And the commentary... Kudos to the writing team!
Please put Matt's laughs on sale as a ringtone.
That would be awsome
I saw your post and made a recording of his laughter. Indeed, it was hilarious.
:') Probably the best GCN video yet! Matt looks absolutely in his element and rather suave on the Carlton - he definelty got the best bike out of the lot.
Lasty's face when he realised he had to take a bent trike frame up a 5km, 6% gradient hill...
Loved this, GCN... laughed right through
Hm
This was peak GCN: Matt, Si, Dan, Lasty, the narration. I just can't stop grinning at 16:00 when Lasty's bike is on its last leg and just collapses in on itself 😂
It really, really was! Re-watching in nostalgia.
THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE!!!
who are you? commenting under every video on yt
im pretty impressed by dans bunny hop skills on the cruiser to be honest :D
That laughter is worth the entire video, I cant believe he used to be a cop, now he makes people all over the world laugh their ass off on the internet. Fantastic!
Excellent video, I really appreciate that humor from across the Atlantic. I also love the videos where you ride bikes closer to my price range.
This was the BEST episode on GCN EVER!!!!!!!!!!
ccdbcvtrider1 yeah I have rarely laughed as hard as with this one, awesome!
ccdbcvtrider1 it was the best vid from gcn ever
Great episode guys!
Tom's look at 6:05 is so awesome
"It's certinaly a load of parabollocks". Amazing, wish I was back in 9th year maths class so i could use that joke.
10:30
Dan - "Check that it has triangle shapes in the frame", proceeds to check his own bike for triangle shapes
Tom Last and the folding bike xD
This was by far the best video from you guys. I am still crying tears of laughter and my wife is looking at me as if I were a lunatic. The commentary was hilarious! Please do more of these - can't wait to watch them.
"Matt lunging to the line against imaginary opponents with actual talent." Lmao
this video should come with a warning: Sides may burst from laughing
ashvic2 glad you liked it
Hi
The writing for this episode's voice over was classic.
As always, great commentary by Mr Kirby
Being years of GCN fan and having watched all videos...
I am comfortably declaring that this is the best video of all.
TONIGHT ! Si rides a gryphon, Tom throws his bike, Dan walks up a mountain and Matt does a wheelie
The fact you haven’t done a sequel to this despite it only costing a few hundred quid is shocking
Because like a lot of "cheap" youtube challenges I highly doubt it. They always under report the costs.
@@kishascape no
Alright
Dan: Clarkson
Si and Tom: Captain Slow
Matt: Hammond
Loving this video chaps!
HAMMOND!!
I dunno. Si=Hammond, Dan and Lasty=May, and Matt
= a less offensive Clarkson.
Thank god its not top gear!
i was just thinking that this reminded me of top gear
What about the stig?
This has to be one of my favorite GCN videos! The commentary was hilarious!
HOLY CRAP THEY ACTUALLY DID IT THE ABSOLUTE MADMEN
Corvara... Is written in a typeface called block berthold.
I've spent a while too long doing graphics huh.
Cycling's Top Gear!!
Smokey you mean Big Ring?
Watched this one again just now. Cheers guys for being good sports and giving us all some fun and Matt’s laugh.
Not my idea of a folding bike.
Thank you GCN for the early X'mas present. You reminded me the true spirit of X'mas. Its not about what or how much you spend but that you share it with your mates. That is priceless.
these group challenges are ALWAYS awesome! Thanks for continuing to do them!
This was the best ever GCN video. About Matt "He's tested his guts today, it's been full gas"
Absolute quality
Laughed? I nearly shat! Toms trike and Matt laughing at said trike, a slice of pure gold Thanks. Oh and Si clearly had the most sensible choice.
I sprayed soup all over my keyboard with the trike bunny hop, Thanks for the laughs gents.
Miss These presenters. Although love the new ones too of course
This is the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips
Great synergy between you all, love to see more of these challenges. 👏🏽
Very Proud of This Upload Mates!
This has to be one of my favorite episodes. You need to do this again when you can!!!
"It is a lot of drag, but I'm into my drag as you know si" 😂😂😂
A worthy winner! I spent 3 winters commuting on a Gryphon I got from ebay. I did put some decent brakes on it but it was comfortable and sure footed in all conditions.
Although I'd still pick the Carlton if I was buying a bike tomorrow as I'd love to add something classic to my shed.
'Satellite shifters' **pulls them, realises they are brakes**
Aka "suicide levers". Horrors. I guess these kids are too young to remember the 70s and 80s : (
im 20 and i know them lol
Those were great on my first road bike. Miss them dearly
Saved this to watch on Christmas Day - best 'telly' so far, everyone is crying...
Many thanks for all the hard work guys
Love this.
stockton350 thanks. Jon
Great fun chaps, Lasty is a legend ! & Carlton's commentary is awesome
Dan "Toothpick" Lloyd picks a "100% Muscle Bike"............proves that opposites attract!
E M wasn't that on GTN ? ^^
xGshikamaru 5 Things learned from Tri's;)
comment of the week!
The commentary is actually golden! :D
The Carlton, because I wouldn't have to buy it, I still have it, bought new for £112 around 40 years ago.
Incredible. I had a horrific day and I've been in a bad mood the entire day.. And this video had me in stitches.. Laughing out loud all by myself..
This is absolute gold content. Thanks gcn.
Great video - should do another challenge and mix it up a bit by throwing in maintenance challenges and allowing an upgrade after a certain time when they know what needs improving most (new frame in Toms case!)
Very "top gear challenge" but very funny. Love the trike!
Matt's laugh is awesome
10:18 well it certainly a load of para-"bolics"
You got me there LOL
Holy shit I suggested this years ago and now it exists. I'm so happy.
Just epic. Was in fits of laughter watching this. You guys need to do more of this. May be one a month?
Yes the gcn challenges are the best part of the channel!!
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this channel for a while. The production quality for is really really good. I would really watch this on TV. Probably because it is a Christmas Special, but doing more videos like this is definitely something I would recommend
'A longer drought than even Cannondale-Drapac'
God damn Si...ruthless.
7:53 Matt hasnt got the bigges wheelie, but hes pleased with it. omg i died lmao.
Definitely the best GCN vid besides the tricking your mates video. Reminds me of the old top gear :)
BEST VIDEO SO FAR!
And the comentary is just ... over the top!

Lad, this has been the most anticipated video for 3 years also it has been the most requested video ever here in the comments section of Every video.... and..... it delivers big time.

Oh yeah !!! give us more !!!!!!

One of your best videos ever. Absolutely loved it! However, was anbody else slightly concerned that the newest bike took the furthest to brake?
Luka Gorjup Ah, I must have missed that comment.
Brilliant. Just catching up on old GCN videos. Carlton Kirkby’s commentary is laugh out loud hilarious.
can somebody pls give an award to the whole narration team :D
Lol Matt @ 14:35. It’s all just too funny!
He must've been a nightmare to flim, he never stops laughing
GCN > Top Gear
Thanks GCN for a great festive episode - you guys are Legends!!! Merry Christmas to you all!!!
More top gear style videos!
In love with this Top-Gear-like production! Gotta give props to the narrator as well
The comtary to this hilarious & wheels up in memory of the grandma bike or oil cause she's old tests very hilarious funny guys U need to do more of stuff like these poor grandma my heart broke when you did 😆😅😂🤣
This Video is a CLASSIC even my non cycling friend and even the wife was in stitches laughing!! Thank you, all the best Andy
Egads I haven’t laughed like this in a long time. Thank you
I can honestly say I haven't laughed that much in years, actually crying at one point. Best video ever by GCN, imo.
Yes!!! Like for van power slide
Been waiting for something like this for ages. Superbly done lads, great fun!
Brilliant. Thanks. I'd take Matt's bike.
I don't know how I missed this one, but it just cracked me up! I about choked to death on my fig bar when I saw Lasty's 3 wheeler folding up where as he couldn't pedal without hitting the pavement with the crankarms, great humor guys and we can't forget about the classic laugh of Matt Stephens again great show guys thanks!
It's Top Gear (of old) on Bikes!
Lmfao. "slightly gebrselassie"
Amazing. Whoever did the writing for this video needs a raise.
