"Some crazy French guy playing Mario Kart" Haha, Love this guy!
To summarise then....cool helmets on warmer days, and warm helmets on cooler days..........who would have thought that......
We need a regular GCN feature "G tells it like it is" for the true inside track on life in the pro peloton! Although I am not sure the powers that be could handle that level of honesty in the bike industry!
i really like geraint thomas- he seems like a really nice guy :) and funny :L
Indeed. Future 'Sports Personality of the Year' methinks. He seems like a really nice, genuine bloke. Not at all up himself. And funny, too! (I loved his response at the Tour, after hitting the pole, to the question 'What's your name?' 'Chris Froome.' Great wit.)
yeah right! i remember that, that was brilliant! and yeah, he should be, but i don't think he will be, just because of his domestiqueness :/
+marcus allison you should see his blog on RUclips, or his drunk photos on FB. Class lad.
Is GCN the best RUclips channel in history.....? Yes it does! Go GCN!!!!!!
Better go polish my helmet.. Both Dan and G said to..
Seems like Dan has got a bit of a bromance going on there, with 'G' and his polished helmets...
My two favourite riders in one vid, epic!
Kask makes the best helmets. I love wearing my infinity on long trips on my TT. It always grabs attention. I even saw a guy wearing a bambino once while out on a tt training ride down here in Portola Valley, CA.
I remember seeing G blown off of the road in one of the spring classics. Epic day.
Never get tired of GCN vids :)
G is just awsome! He is definentley in my top three list of cyclists, and it goes:
Nr. 3 Cav
Nr. 2 G
Nr. 1 Without a shadow of a doubt Dan Loyd!
Love, love, love you guys!!! It's top gear for cyclists! Shine on dudes! ~ pat brown Austin TX
Functions beautifully
1:35 about Waren Barguil Very very funny by the way it's mention. Nicely done, bring humour right here shows his intelligence.
Solid innuendo from Thomas. On the next GCN "How To" segment, the boys will show you how to properly handle your stem ;)
G's sunglass tan is on point!!
Dan's giggling gets the better of him once again I see!
I may have missed it, in which case, maybe you can point me in the right direction. Do you have a video on how to upgrade/install new shift levers? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Geraint is a crackin fella. Will cheer him on the road,
Man Geraint seems like such a cool guy.
you guys are shitting on bike radar, great vids
after crashing on the track a few weeks ago and totaled my old helmet i decided to get an aero helmet! got the giant rivet and i already broke my own KOM with it :D
You should also mention which one causes the craziest helmethair :D
Top bloke!
Hi GCN, Linda Villumsen's ITT bike at the UCI world championships was cool, could you please make a video on it? More info on pro women's bikes would be great in general. :D
so the fans can see kasks full selection
On the question of choice, when someone is leading GC and receives their 'coloured jersey', what happens if the following stage is a TT. Obviously the rider would want to wear a skin suit, but who is responsible for providing a perfectly fitting skin suit in team livery, but in the leaders colours. Do teams have stored suits ready and waiting for each rider?
yeah, I wondered that, too...
At this years TDF Froome was in the yellow jersey for the TT, Le Coq Sportif rolled out a yellow skin suit that was modified to fit more snug.
Yes. What do you expect? Perfect fitting suits falling out of the sky?
"if you're Froome and looking down all the time having a big fin up there isn't going help is it" LOL
good one!
Yeah, it works. Sponsor is paying my bills so it works....
As long as the helmet works... It's good!
'Hello and welcome to 'Carry On Cycling'' Ooh Matron!
Who was G referring to at 1:39? Mario Kart?
+timtimzi ni Crazy french guy = Barguil playing Mario Kart
Ahh from the TdF.. I remember lol.
who would have thought that Dan could get so excited about other men's helmets...
Light and affordable helmet
GCN had difficulty choosing between helmets, in they end they chose all three.
Super G !
Hello Gcn
thank you for the useful videos.Could you make a how to video on riding out of the saddle, cause I'm not sure about the correct way to do it , do you focus on pushing the pedals only or pulling up as well, do you bounce right and left or try to stay steady , and so on.
I think it would be very useful.
cheers.
hi guys you didn't use my intro for the gcn show #GCNwecome
I think your hint on the innuendo was a little wasted on Thomas as it went totally over his head.
Sky has a sliding door on its truck. Because hinges are so mainstream
bit of a sponsor vid...
haha just look at CGN these days
But why... why do you choose to wear a different helmet and what is the benefit of change? You described the helmet great but not the detail of why to change
Hi guys, help needed please, I want to get a Kask mojito, problem is my head is 58cm and that is the cross over from M to L in sizes. I don’t have any hair to speak of but will wear a cap occasionally. Can you make any recommendations on which way to go, M or L, buying online. Any help much appreciated.
2:50, Dan just can't help it when it's about Froomey.
The mechanics cleaning the helmets, i wont say anymore lol
I'm crying because RUclips wodent let me comment to get a bottle 😰🚴🏾🚴🏼🚵🏼😭🔫
$900 worth of helmets...damn sponsorship must be good.
love the part where he mention some crazy French who was playing Mario Kart, now we can laugh at it...
If the helmet fits....wear it...
super dom
I had bought a different helmet on Amazon at the beginning of this summer for my big headed daughter to wear while bicycling and scootering. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0ipcYkXV-2YCp_cBN3HLfzR_OoD0HQYx Well it was WAY too big and not adjustable at all. Previously we had really expensive but adjustable helmets from the local bike store and I didn't really want to pay $50 again for another helmet. I searched and was fairly sure from the reviews that this helmet was what I was looking for- and it was! The pads inside are comfortable, the rim in front provides a bit of shade, but most of all for me there is the dial adjuster in the back which allows for a really secure fit on my daughters head. It seems like it will fit for a few years too which makes me even happier! She loves the pattern and I might end up buying another one for her twin sister (who has a much smaller head!)I definitely recommend this helmet. My daughter is 5 but has a big head. Her twin sister could fit in this one as well but it's a bit big.

That moment when you have to ask a salesman for a smaller helmet and he directs you to childrens section as your head is just to small for a grown up. FML #storyofmylife
So I don't have to keep calling him G... how _do_ you say his name?
Now a top 10 what not to wear for female cyclists, I nominate Dan for the skirt
Nice as an interview segment. Zero information.
lol google daniel lloyd..
+Felipee Rincon Most of the pictures of Dan are female....?!
HAIRSTYLE GTO BRO
Mario Kart! lol
Very nearly made it to the end without the penis joke...
Maybe next time.....
Daaaaan, where is your girly laugh now? I think G figured out that you like Froomey more. Poor G. :(
Why settle with interviewing a lame team like Sky when you can have direct access to the god of all teams the Cervelo Test Team?
And still I see people riding without helmet...
I average 14km/h. Why would I wear a helmet? Helmets are for racing, group rides and off roading.
I also don't wear a helmet when I am commuting inside the city with low speed. My comment was mostly towards people racing, on group rides or on electric bikes without helmets, since this channel is mostly focused on people cycling with higher speeds. Nonetheless wearing a helmet with speeds averaging 14 km/h within the traffic would be a safe thing to do.
