This! I was hit and the driver told me this. I was all in fluo, including the bike, that was painted in a fluo color! Detail: I was on the cycle path that's on the sidewalk. So, the driver drove up the sidewalk, onto the cycle path to hit me. And then the "I didn't see you!" Aaarrrrrgggghhhhh!
In Denmark, various statistics show that if you in the morning go on you bicycle to work for half an hour and the same route back in the afternoon, you will get wet only between 3,5% and 5% of the trips during a year (wet = more than 0.4 mm / h or 0.4 liter pr. sqr. meter per hour). I must admit that during the autumn and winter, I could not believe it. On the other hand, if you know it is pouring and you get your raining gear on, then it usually is not that bad. It is, if you hope for nice weather and you get absolutely soaked, cold and miserable, then you will remember it for weeks. 😂. I am retired too.😊
My favorite, that I've done a few times, is at a Time Trial, where a friend is being held before his start, is to mention "Your back tire looks a little low.", when he had about 20 seconds before start. I'd give him about 3 seconds before telling him that I was just Kidding. I would guess that it would raise his H.R. about 10 beats. Word got around to my friends, so it only worked one more time.
Almost the same here in Brazil, more: the ride today will be easy.... this is the last climb..... you dont need lights, we will be back before the sun goes down..... the peloton will ride in a nice pace..... dont worry, I know the way.....
This is how I know I am not a cyclist and just a dude that likes riding a bike. I don't like drinking coffee; cafe stops can spoil a good ride; riding in a group needs too much concentration, I understand distance in miles not km
How does a cafe stop spoil a good ride? Lol. Where I ride there really isn’t any cafes ti stop at so idk. But I can’t see how that would ruin a good ride. I can see how getting banged can ruin a good ride.
Great video. I recently moved from a high, dry climate in the western U.S. where rain storms are brief, and, during the winter, it snows when they get precipitation. I now live in a much warmer and rainier climate in the southeastern U.S. I miss riding in the snow. As long as it's cold enough (not slushy) and you are dressed properly, it can be very comfortable and clean. Riding in the rain is messy and uncomfortable. It's nice to know that I am not the only person who feels that way.
This is the thing. You only want to hear that kind of feedback once. But when you're in a group as you often are out cycling you're going to hear it one time from each of possibly dozens of other people.
Recently, while cycling in a group ride, a riding in a triathlon bike said to me I was riding on the wrong wheels for my road bike. Says the turtle on the fast bike 😢
I have a friend who is 6’ 140 lbs and built like a yard stick. His new saying is “the wind doesn’t bother me”. Is it bad that I want to put a stick in his spokes?
No coffee? Who cares, you're British! You drink tea (right?) One of my pet peeves with my club is they won't ever stop for a drink. Got to do it on the fly, like we're in a goddamn race all the time. It never goes down right when I'm hunched over and I can't keep up if I sit up straight.
I know I hate when I show up to a group ride and there are only "A" riders. I don't even know how they could have a conversation at that speed when I can barely breathe.
The second one, that's me I'd kill someone if I heard that there are no beans and I have been singing in my head for almost one hour that I must have been and bread in the next cafe.
When non cyclist in the media or in person say, I have never seen a nice cyclist who is acting by the traffic rules etc. Very anoying. I even got a bell how much more do you want from me.
its raining definitely is the worst. and also a bike snob that pass by and say ''hey mate! Geez, you can ride with that ? Good luck, bye!'' and goes off with his 16000$$ sponsored bike.
# worstcomments: Hey Mate, is that your bike I hear "creaking/squeeking/clicking". At least myself, I'll go nuts trying to hear that sound they heard and then determine what's making the sound. It'll totally ruin a ride b/c you'll hyperfocus on every sound that's made. Or I do anyway. So never say "hey mate, is that your bike "insert blank here".
"Oh its cos your bikes so much lighter" after youve smashed up a hill or did some serious mileage As if to say its all about the weight of the bike, nothing to do with my fitness 😂

What phrase winds you up mid ride? 👀
5k into the ride “I gotta stop to pee”. 10k in “anybody else need to stop for a pee break?”. 15k in “I’m in need of a…” bye bye.
It's all downhill from here. (Because it never is.)
"You shouldn't be riding here" which has been shouted at me more than once. On NCR74!
@@gavinm717gkmyou sound like a fun guy to ride with. 😊
@@ricardobentes ok
Good to see Connor and Manon at it again. Always fun.
We love filming with these two 😂- Never a dull moment
Manon and Conor in one video. Can bet there'll be shenanigans!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Haha! Connor is gigantic next to Manon!!
@@gcn What bike is Manon riding? I love that frame color!
The absolute last thing you should ever tell any cyclist is, "Sorry, I didn't see you."
This! I was hit and the driver told me this. I was all in fluo, including the bike, that was painted in a fluo color! Detail: I was on the cycle path that's on the sidewalk. So, the driver drove up the sidewalk, onto the cycle path to hit me. And then the "I didn't see you!"
Aaarrrrrgggghhhhh!
My favourite is when someone says, "its pretty flat / all downhill.. from here"
Guilty! Always followed about 3-5 minutes later by, "Oh, sorry, I forgot about this bit!"
When you're in the middle of fixing a flat, and someone says "That wouldn't happen if you went tubeless".
That can really push your buttons 😂
The performances by Manon and Connor are Oscar worthy! 😂 Really enjoy these shorter humour video's in between the informational one's.
When I used to cycle to work (retired now) people always took great pleasure in telling me "it's pouring with rain" near home time
Hahahaha that is pure evil! 😈
I always laugh back at them. I love cycling in the rain 🌧️

The way Manon says "Connor" with all that familiarity and menace tells me this isn't the first time Connor has triggered her on a bike ride.
It's one of Conor's many special skills 😂
It sounds so much like the French 'Connard !' (more or less 'sucker' - forgive my French...) including the intonation...
What killed me: "It's all downhill from here, no climbs anymore👀" I already bonked at that point and every small incline made me just furious....
I know that feeling…😅
- Dude, this ride uphill is really tough.
- C’mon mate, you know what they say : what goes up must come down :-)

'There's a vicious climb just up here'
I don't mind vicious climbs, but I don't want to know when they're coming!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree with you on this.
Please just let me get on to it without knowing coz that shit kills every cell in my brain and body.
Never heard a climb described like that...always something new
@@peterrooney8236 How about now I've spelt it correctly?
@@rogersimmons8788 "viscous" climb, was it? 😄
@BixbyConsequence Only until I did spellcheck!
It's the last climb, I swear.
Hahahahaha a classic! 😂
This route will be really flat
It’s just a false flat.
In a large group there was a rider with a squeaky chain. Everyone in the group said: Your chain squeaks! He was very annoyed. 🤣
This is the thing. You only want to hear that kind of feedback once. But when you're in a group as you often are out cycling you're going to hear it one time from each of possibly dozens of other people.
Connor's seat is at Manon's shoulder when they are side by side!
Lovin' the acting. Very well done all round! And yes, 100% spot on with every one of these.
I've learn a lot from you guys it's amazing to see how you point out these faults love it thanks
Connors face when he was told there were no coffee was priceless. xD
(at work) "Did you ride in today?"
"Yes. Every single day, yes."
"oh hi!" or "you almost made it!, good effort" from an 80 year old smoking you on his ebike on the climb you suffer AF ;)
Well played. Especially with the cafe stops. No stopping! It's the biggest reason I ride alone. And rain is the devil.
Riding without coffee should be a sin 😈
@@gcnThat's a fair point. But either before or after. Never stopping for it.
I just don't drink coffee and have no time to stop on my rides (only if absolutely necessary otherwise...)
I agree, last club ride I tried spent more time at the café than the time spent riding to it!
@@watcher24601 The worst.
Super excited to see Manon back to back!
I missed your videos together, guys. You guys make it fun 😁
4:04 those drama lessons are really paying dividends Connor! LOL
Our local club don’t do coffee stops, even on a Sunday. Brecon Wheelers #nameandshame
WHAT!!! No coffee 🤯
Awesome content & I had a great time watching this video :)
When the person behind you says "Hey, you might want to retire those shorts. They're getting really thin in the back."
Brilliant , Conner and Manon. 😃👍
"It's raining cats and dogs"; memories from school came back to me.
Poor kitty..:(
I get this one a lot from non-cyclists: "I knew a guy who rode bikes and he was hit by a car."
Recently, while cycling in a group ride, a riding in a triathlon bike said to me I was riding on the wrong wheels for my road bike. Says the turtle on the fast bike 😢
The remote cafe that says "we only take cash"
Great video, thanks guys!!
I have a friend who is 6’ 140 lbs and built like a yard stick. His new saying is “the wind doesn’t bother me”.
Is it bad that I want to put a stick in his spokes?
No. No its not. Also, never let them ride on your wheel😂
@@ghowell13 LOL Good.
No worries there. He’s also become a half wheeler.
4:05 I'm afraid we reached the highestest peaks of all peaks in terms of GCN content quality. Everything from now on just won't be good enough. 😢😅
'We only have muffins' from a cafè on a recent social group ride. Such a poor selection of cake 😂
No coffee? Who cares, you're British! You drink tea (right?)
One of my pet peeves with my club is they won't ever stop for a drink. Got to do it on the fly, like we're in a goddamn race all the time. It never goes down right when I'm hunched over and I can't keep up if I sit up straight.
Sounds like you need to find a new club 👀 All the best rides have coffee (or tea) ☕
"Is that a hire bike?"
That goes down well in Mallorca.
I love this! So fun and true!! No coffee is the worst!!!!!!
" you'll be alright ! it's not that steep/ far/ sketchy/muddy/hot/ wet/ slippy / radioactive/ crocodile infested......etc etc..."
"As a cyclist to you follow all the rules of the road" Ok not mid-ride but that winds me up every time!!!
I know I hate when I show up to a group ride and there are only "A" riders. I don't even know how they could have a conversation at that speed when I can barely breathe.
This is so funny! Manon and Connor can be in a comedy tv show
Re #3, you can't come on a cafe ride if you have specific training to do.
Your rear tire pressure looks a little low
It's all downhill from here
Did you just borrow that bike,thats never yours with those legs😂
Oh dear! Did your jersey shrink??
Hey Manon, what happened to the Pinnerallo ? Love the apricot Orbea ❤
It made me laugh, the brief clip of cycling in "biggie bigs" on a video about what triggers cyclists. 😅
everyone's saddle looks too low to Connor
“It’s only a 10% grade, just spin up it!” F off…
" Be aware of the diagonal RR crossing right at the bottom of the 14% descent..."
At work someone tells you that your bicycle parked out there has a flat tyre
raining is literally the shittiest thing ever
Too funny! Made my day
How to look pro according to GCN-
Step 1- Buy a nice aero bike
Step 2- slap a huge non aero asf handlebar bag and ur good to go
Ok the biggest terrible thing to say, is " we cant stop for coffee, we have to turn around and finish, no stops" lol
You definitely missed, "Today's an easy ride." With the ride starting at %120 of FTP.
The second one, that's me I'd kill someone if I heard that there are no beans and I have been singing in my head for almost one hour that I must have been and bread in the next cafe.
You should consider doing some cycling comedy sketches :-)
The beauty of riding solo 😌
With my wife's adult tricycle, any bike shop that tells us "We don'twork on those here."😿😠
9. "Handlebar bags look F*****g stupid on a road race bike."
10. "Can you go a bit faster, you Bat Fastard."
When non cyclist in the media or in person say, I have never seen a nice cyclist who is acting by the traffic rules etc. Very anoying. I even got a bell how much more do you want from me.
I'm just in zone 2
IT'S RAINING is definitely the worst.
is andrew going to try the "esine - pozza dos dell'asino" climb?
“I’ve never done this before”
Sorry wrong site
I would consider giving up cycling before coffee 😮
"This next bit has a headwind."
Deer gawd did winter arrive little early over in Jolly old England?
Perfect english summertime, why are you saying that ?
coffee = poop
having to poop while on bike = no bueno
its raining definitely is the worst.
and also a bike snob that pass by and say ''hey mate! Geez, you can ride with that ? Good luck, bye!''
and goes off with his 16000$$ sponsored bike.
Connor could treat Manon to a gourmet dish and a shot of tea in the cafe to keep warm.
I’m subscribed and have all notifications turned on, GCN NEVER appears on my feed. I have to search for your videos😡
Is cyclists doing coffee stops really a thing? I only heard about that in RUclips videos.
It certainly is, we love a coffee stop! Not too many to though 👉 ruclips.net/video/4StcKDohjLE/видео.html
One that bugs me, when asked with passive aggressive interest… “how far did you ride?”
Thanks!
Oooof the silent judgment 😂
The Celtic Duo strike again. inverse 1&2 though....
“Hot enough for ya”
Love the new Orbea.
I don't do coffee.
What about “ after that hill, that’s it!”😁
# worstcomments: Hey Mate, is that your bike I hear "creaking/squeeking/clicking". At least myself, I'll go nuts trying to hear that sound they heard and then determine what's making the sound.

Where are the outtakes? These are hilarious.
I actually don't like coffee, so technically I never do coffee stops.
Cake stops?🎂
Alright lads, I’ve only got an hour.
Ran out of beans... yes... had that. Also power cut... fortunately the power came back on in time...
"Looks like only us club riders showed up..."
Tailwind all the way home is a classic
Anything from a motorist saying or implying I should be on the sidewalk.
Blow my fuse: " I think i should get a gravel bike"
"Oh its cos your bikes so much lighter" after youve smashed up a hill or did some serious mileage
As if to say its all about the weight of the bike, nothing to do with my fitness 😂
My a.t.f.: What is your 32T sprocket for ?😂
"That's a last hill."
I never stop for coffee. One can have coffee at home before a ride.
I think your back tire pressure is low! Didn't you check before ride? You are losing air! 😕
