Can Simon Win The Brompton World Championship 2024?

Published 2024-06-28
The time has finally come: the Brompton World Championships are here! In this unique race that shows off Brompton's functionality and design, Si competes in business attire instead of his usual lycra—a Brompton race signature—will have to sprint to unfold his Brompton bike, and try to cycle fast enough to podium! Can Si become the crowned champion of 2024?

    Would you like to race the Brompton World Champs?
  • Si should always present in shorts 🩳 and a blazer 😂❤🎉
  • @jonpoon3896
    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...
  • @cornishcat11
    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
  • @FlowJunkee65
    Si, that was so much fun to watch, and congratulations on your 2nd place finish amongst a good number of riders! Thanks for posting.
  • @_MattyG_
    One of the cooler videos and events Yall done in a bit.
  • @Chiller11
    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.
  • @pokie0622
    So enjoyed watching Si on the 360 camera racing his heart out.
  • @2.old4this
    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….
  • @chagas99z
    Great feel good video! As a Brompton, penny farthing, recumbent and cargo bike rider it’s great seeing GCN embracing all aspects of cycling!
  • @telepopepic
    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?
  • @GeekonaBike
    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.
  • @Anakena3
    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🙂
  • @sinthssb
    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.
  • @JMcLeodKC711
    Si, you realize you did a dualathlon time for you to get over to that triathlon channel
  • @alexberta
    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
