ITV in with new Cycling Show

[Nearly there]

I think it needs to be an hour long it feels cramped and rushed at the minute surely having a cycle show on tv is progress?

Last night's was better. But then again you can't go wrong with a programme that has Fat Eddy on it.

Last nights was better than the week before?

It was mildly better, he did at least acknowledge the comments they have had. Still feels like they have dived in with no intro to the world of cycling. It did seem a bit suspect the way Kemp introduced his helmet (!) as if he was told to get it in there somewhere. An hour will either make it better or kill it. Despite all that, given the total shi-ite on tv at the moment, at least it isn't a game show, cookery or other reality tv, it's hobby tv!

Lots of celebs advocating the benefits and pleasure of cycling.

I wish these cycling celebs would just fvck off - I really do. I'm fed up with having to listen to them telling me how great it is to ride a bike.....

I guess they are just normal blokes under it all, they love cycling and want to talk about it. Nowt wrong with that IMO! Don't think they are going to inspire new riders and I don't find it worthy of entertainment but still...

It might be an idea to get some actual cyclists on to talk about cycling. Just normal folk, talking about bikes.

I watched both episodes back to back last night. Some interesting bits like the bike-fitting session and the downhill MTB. The loop round Box Hill was interesting too.

Judicious use of the fast-forward button may be needed but I agree with others that the show is getting better. I think it is way is better than having nothing at all.

A huge improvement on episode 1, and I hope it will continue to improve (anyone remember how hit and miss the Simpsons was to start with?)

I want one of those seatposts that snaps up at the touch of a button for climbing!!

Me too, but they're not cheap.

That's more than my MTB is worth!!!

I want them to get the lastest bikes in, then get a stig of the cylcing world to race then around a track to compare.

 

[albion]

They seem to be making a very good stab at it.

Lots of it is not for me but that is quite a positive.

 

[gaz]

Someone suggested to the cycle show on twitter that I should be on for silly cyclists. Humbling indeed.

Watching it on the itv player at the minute

The YouTube account has a 16 minute version of the interview/Q & A with Eddy, just downloaded it.

Tonight: didn't actually show how to control a bike with a rear puncture, just him doing it?
