Chill folks. Top Gear designed to entertain and infuriate. You are all confirming that the program has met its brief.
Anybody watch top gear

I would have swapped my working bike for his broken one.

Who would throw themselves on the floor to stage a crash? You just know it's going to hurt. Hammond is a regular cyclist too so would he actually be capable of making himself potentially wreck the bike. I couldn't bring myself to do it, even if it wasn't mine.
Contrived and lots of editing to tell a story as always, but there is a limit to what can be scripted when out filming in a city like that.

It's as spontaneous and predictable as Vern's reaction to a flan.

I'd have thought they'd have a spare bike or be able to fix the bike e.g. in case of a puncture. I'm not sure whether fixing the rear derailleur would be practical though.
@vernon Speaking for myself, I'm chilled. I actually enjoyed the feature somewhat. I just thought it looked fake and probably was.

I'm amazed people still watch it, it was ok 7 years ago, but it has been rolling out the same carp even since.
A bit like deal or no deal, once you've watched it a couple if times there is no need to ever watch it again.

The connection being that Noel Edmonds was once a presenter on Top Gear.

Now if you inverted a second flan and placed it on top of the first I might be able to kid myself that I was eating a pie. It's a shame that no-one makes pork flans.
Actually I was surprised to find out from this thread that it's still going.

We all have to remember top gear has become a light entertainment program,loosely based around motoring,to say some of its set up is putting it mildley, but the show seems to be as popular as ever,and the demographic watching must be the widest of any program on tv.its far removed from the sterile but rather more factual days of the programming in the 1980's.
