Would you like to race the Brompton World Champs?
-
Si should always present in shorts 🩳 and a blazer 😂❤🎉
-
Former GCN presenter Emma Pooley did win the women’s category in 2018
-
A GCN rider on podium? I would check the bike for a motor and SI for EPO...
-
I'm not going to lie this was epic. more of these unusual races please. editing ,music and camera work are first class. GCN as it should be well done
-
Si, that was so much fun to watch, and congratulations on your 2nd place finish amongst a good number of riders! Thanks for posting.
-
One of the cooler videos and events Yall done in a bit.
-
I enjoyed this. He’s a good personality for GCN. While I won’t be indulging in a titanium Brompton he represents the product well.
-
So enjoyed watching Si on the 360 camera racing his heart out.
-
Loved that! Si at his best. Passionate, genuine joy and not four wheels to be seen. Cars suck. Brilliant event, life-changing bikes, beautiful people and I’m still smiling hours later. Thank you GCN. VERY well done Si. More please….
-
Great feel good video! As a Brompton, penny farthing, recumbent and cargo bike rider it’s great seeing GCN embracing all aspects of cycling!
-
Good fun. All we want is a pair of wheels, a little competition, and a pint at the end. Next up, the beach cruiser world championship?
-
Si is a beast in his old age
-
Next year. When the factory rider say Seatpost 1st, unfold seatpost 1st. Mtb shoes run way quicker. Notice the kits in the finals. A vest has to be way lighter & more aero.
-
Now I know why I didn’t have any chance in heat 10!!! 😁I need to practice! Thanks for your channel ! It really helped me getting in better shape🙂
-
Great video. Would love to see a 'summer holiday' video where you take a Brommie on vacation to somewhere with expensive taxi fees (Greece, Japan, etc...?) then overcome the costs by cycling from the airport to the accommodation, as well as around town (and/or between cities?!) after that. The end of the video could add up all the costs saved versus a presenter that did everything through taxi/public transport. Plus you could also highlight any interesting locations and side roads discovered as well as the calories burned/fitness aspect.
-
Si, you realize you did a dualathlon time for you to get over to that triathlon channel
-
Fast, furious and foldable!
-
This video was PURE FUN! Watched it with a smile on my face the whole time, thinking about all the fun I've had with my folding bike (not a Brompton, as they are SUPER expensive here in Brazil), but the spirit is the same... 😅😅
-
That was amazing! Caught the quick chat between you and Brilliant Bikes, wasnt expecting a full GCN video
