It was actually, unexpectedly, worth watching.
Not unmissable, but quite a few miles better in longer format.

    Nope, still s**t.

    Roadie, commute, blahter, roadie, commute, blather and this weeks bonus cycling activity - BMX racing, for five mins.

    Amatuerish production values, and lowly content. For those reasons, ahm oot.

    Watched about 3 mins of it. Some bird cycling into a town centre and apparently shock horror if you use an app you can find traffic free routes. Wow why didnt I think of that oh I did I just use a map. Obviously aimed at people just taking up cycling so a bit patronising and pointless for a regular cyclist.

    Mind you a cycle show that interested and appealed to me would be pointless and utterly confusing for the vast majority of occasional and new cyclists.

    It's good to watch on replayer as can fast forward the dull bits can watch show under five minutes now.
    I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work!

    This definitely. I think the big push at the moment to get people cycling is a very good thing and it is working fairly well I would say. This show is definitely a part of this and is aimed at the 'noobs' and is good for that puropose. As you say, a show which went into as much detail and bike-geekiness as we would want would probably get about 4 viewers.

    At least it's getting better though, and you have to remember that it's "the cycle show", not "the uberzoorz-gnar MTB show for haters or lovers of Orange5s and Audis"

    Would it kill 'em to make cycling look fun?

    ..and take it out of London, too.

    There you go. Cycling in the provinces. Appears steel SS are big news.

    Still looks like a city gent to me. Especially since he's ona steel, rigid, singlespeed 29er.
    He probably drives a black, or white Audi as well.

    Wow. The Village People have been going longer than I thought.

    Nice 'tache, sweetie.

    That'd give you 5 mins of anything worth watching then. :shock:

    Still very disappointing and a missed opportunity.

    Longer format just seems like the short format but they talk slower
