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.
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.
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.
After watching every gcn, gmbn, etc. This is by far, the best one. Every one is having fun, in front and behind cameras. I need more of this kind of crazy!
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!)
Things like this are SO FUN to watch. Keep it up! More cheap challenges! Would be great to see if you can BUILD a bike out of salvaged parts, cheapest commuter bike etc.
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.
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 .
Youssef GHERMANI if it is Moët & Chandon it costs easy 1/3 of the bike :) guys don’t waste such nice product and drink it cold in a proper glass to respect the work done to accomplish such beverage. It is not beer!
Dam C Please, it's overpriced, mass produced, over sugary, mtv champagne. Not worth the price, much like that trike, though the trike is at least an honest piece of crap.
Gethin D-J well don’t buy it then. Because of high demand (English people included) the price goes up every year. It was cheaper when it was only sold in France and before the queen her majesty Elisabeth II appointed this champagne (it is written on every bottle). Vineyard are limited and production can’t grow. It requires minimum 18 month to do a Champagne. Hard work, tears and blood. Show some respects guys !
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)
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
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
Forth *
@@2BTO lol
The narration is 🔥
nice
It is tho
Barried like his ant should’ve been
You guys are great together!!! It’s like the original Top Gear on bicycles!!! Keep up the great work .
"Who has the biggest wheelie...".
I laughed so hard, I snorted.
The fart was funnier. 😁
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
Brought a catapult to a nuclear war hahahaahha
The narrator was hilarious too
If only he brought a trebuchet.
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
Best GCN video ever, period. And the commentary... Kudos to the writing team!
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.
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
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.
Matt's laugh gets a lot of deserved love, but Lloydy has a great chuckle himself.
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
:') 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 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
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.
Not my idea of a folding bike.
"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
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
Tom Last and the folding bike xD
these group challenges are ALWAYS awesome! Thanks for continuing to do them!
Being years of GCN fan and having watched all videos...
I am comfortably declaring that this is the best video of all.
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?
Corvara... Is written in a typeface called block berthold.
I've spent a while too long doing graphics huh.
As always, great commentary by Mr Kirby
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
Dan - "Check that it has triangle shapes in the frame", proceeds to check his own bike for triangle shapes
The writing for this episode's voice over was classic.
TONIGHT ! Si rides a gryphon, Tom throws his bike, Dan walks up a mountain and Matt does a wheelie
Watched this one again just now. Cheers guys for being good sports and giving us all some fun and Matt’s laugh.
this video should come with a warning: Sides may burst from laughing
ashvic2 glad you liked it
Hi
This has to be one of my favorite episodes. You need to do this again when you can!!!
The Carlton, because I wouldn't have to buy it, I still have it, bought new for £112 around 40 years ago.
Great synergy between you all, love to see more of these challenges. 👏🏽
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
Very Proud of This Upload Mates!
This has to be one of my favorite GCN videos! The commentary was hilarious!
Absolute quality
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.
HOLY CRAP THEY ACTUALLY DID IT THE ABSOLUTE MADMEN
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.
This is the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips
Very "top gear challenge" but very funny. Love the trike!
Cycling's Top Gear!!
Smokey you mean Big Ring?
the commentary is absolute gold!!!
Love this.
stockton350 thanks. Jon
The commentary is actually golden! :D
Yes the gcn challenges are the best part of the channel!!
Please do another one of these. The challenges are the best! This 100 pound, Christmas-Themed challenge was great.
I sprayed soup all over my keyboard with the trike bunny hop, Thanks for the laughs gents.
Saved this to watch on Christmas Day - best 'telly' so far, everyone is crying...
Many thanks for all the hard work guys
'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
Miss These presenters. Although love the new ones too of course
Oh yeah !!! give us more !!!!!!
We need more of these types of video’s
"It is a lot of drag, but I'm into my drag as you know si" 😂😂😂
More top gear style videos!
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.
After watching every gcn, gmbn, etc. This is by far, the best one. Every one is having fun, in front and behind cameras. I need more of this kind of crazy!
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!
This was the best ever GCN video. About Matt "He's tested his guts today, it's been full gas"
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!)
Great fun chaps, Lasty is a legend ! & Carlton's commentary is awesome
Holy shit I suggested this years ago and now it exists. I'm so happy.
In love with this Top-Gear-like production! Gotta give props to the narrator as well
Matt's laugh is awesome
Things like this are SO FUN to watch. Keep it up! More cheap challenges! Would be great to see if you can BUILD a bike out of salvaged parts, cheapest commuter bike etc.
I missed these kinda video. Love it
Absolute blast of a video. You should think about doing a presenter championship with different challenges next year.
Keep it up, guys!
It's Top Gear (of old) on Bikes!
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.
Thanks GCN for a great festive episode - you guys are Legends!!! Merry Christmas to you all!!!
GCN > Top Gear
Been waiting for something like this for ages. Superbly done lads, great fun!
Definitely the best GCN vid besides the tricking your mates video. Reminds me of the old top gear :)
Brilliant. Just catching up on old GCN videos. Carlton Kirkby’s commentary is laugh out loud hilarious.
'A longer drought than even Cannondale-Drapac'
God damn Si...ruthless.
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
can somebody pls give an award to the whole narration team :D
Good one. More like the craziest laugh contest and there was a clear winner.
Gmbn would be jealous of Dan
Fergus J and the van drift...
Future geometry! Super long and slack!
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 .
pobg Glad you liked it.
Yes!!! Like for van power slide
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.
Brilliant. Thanks. I'd take Matt's bike.
This has to be the best gcn video. I was wetting my self all the way through
This Moët & Chandon is actually a fine champagne, nice spot Dan.
Youssef GHERMANI if it is Moët & Chandon it costs easy 1/3 of the bike :) guys don’t waste such nice product and drink it cold in a proper glass to respect the work done to accomplish such beverage. It is not beer!
Dam C Please, it's overpriced, mass produced, over sugary, mtv champagne. Not worth the price, much like that trike, though the trike is at least an honest piece of crap.
Alexander McLaughlin tu ne sais pas de quoi tu parles... désolé l’américain :p
It's shite, there are many better champagnes. Overpriced piss.
Gethin D-J well don’t buy it then. Because of high demand (English people included) the price goes up every year. It was cheaper when it was only sold in France and before the queen her majesty Elisabeth II appointed this champagne (it is written on every bottle). Vineyard are limited and production can’t grow. It requires minimum 18 month to do a Champagne. Hard work, tears and blood. Show some respects guys !
This made my day! Only came across this gem because I've watched learned to adjust some things on my bike, thanks to Simon.
"Just a load of parabolics"
This is one of the best things i've seen on the GCN channel. It kinda reminds me of top gear. Keep up the good work guys.
