Britain by Bike.... really?

[Globalti]

Just watching Larry and George Lamb joking and wise cracking their way around Derbyshire. Both are wearing multiple layers in early summer weather and showing no sign of overheating and they both look pretty useless on bikes. Do they really do all the riding or do they just sit in the bus and jump out to film a few minutes before flopping back in the bus again?

I've just spotted that Dad has got his right ear trapped under his blue helmet strap. Come on!

I think that it's great that they make those 'errors' to make us mere mortals feel better and think that we too could achieve those astonishing feats of human endurance.

both need the saddles going up an inch or two

I love the programme, their clothing for cycling is a bit wrong for summer but it’s not a bike show, it’s more about Britain, it’s villages and traditions. I don’t think it would look too good if they were both mincing around wearing Lycra!
I think they do a fair bit of the cycling, the son has been going to spinning classes for fitness prior to filming and the 70 year old dad pootles around on an ebike.

Stop being a miserable old fart. . I quite like the programme.

 

[Globalti]

Bah. Humbug.

It's filmed in a studio in front of a green screen.

I quite like the program, its better than some of the crap on tv, nothing is perfect, apart from the wife apparently.

I heard him mention it was early spring in this week's show.

I haven't seen any of the shows yet, i'll try and catch up as its sounds like a decent watch.

I think it was one of only a very few things I watched on tv last week, quite enjoyed it.

Larry Lamb has less charisma than Larry the Lamb or Lamb Chop.

Not long now - I discussed my 16 hour Hebridean Way ride, cycling in the Outer Hebrides and why (20 years ago) I chose to move from the Midlands to live on a remote island - a lot to edit into a possible appearance of 60 seconds. Not sure how much (if any) of the filming is going to be used. Due to air on Friday 21/09/18

I wonder if they would have a similar guest cyclist on the show who didn't wear a plastic hat?

They commissioned a second series? That surprises me.
