I'm afraid I only lasted 5 mins. The setting was like Top Gear only without the budget, the egos and a sense of purpose.
IMHO the topic list was narrow and hence succeeded in not appealing to most whilst ensuring that the 2/3 niches it appeared to be targeting would be put off by the stuff for the other niches. Well I may be wrong but most of us, I guess, give at most 5 minutes to an unknown programme to grab us before we flick. The turgid filmed opening sequence must have wasted 3 minutes of that.
BTW was the logo bought cheap, second hand, from ChainReaction?

Last series was a bit dull in places... The turbo trainer head to head should be replaced with a velodrome race.....
And besides any programme however boring about cycling beats incessant property programmes about people who have budgets way beyond average means or diet programmes about lazy people.... Ooh that was an unexpected rant on tuesday morning

At the very least that it would appeal to the CycleChat demographic. Now look at the niches they covered and CC subforum post numbers. They targeted the smallest and completely ignored the big'uns. These are (leaving out the mostly social subforums):
* Beginners
* Commuting
* Informal Rides & Events
* Know How
* Bikes, Accessories, Kit & Clothing
Even something like Touring may not be huge but is something many aspire to one day and a travelogue will normally have a stronger story line and visuals than, say racing. Hence if its not aimed at CC members as a whole - exactly who is it aimed at?

I think they should sack all of the crap off and focus purely on racing, because that is what interests me!

Wouldn't it be great if ITV4 could show us a little of that bike race thingy over on the other side of the channel!I think they should sack all of the crap off and focus purely on racing, because that is what interests me!

Missed it. I'll have to record the repeat and set it up for series link.
Last series had a certain shrinking member of our community on.
