i like the way the record for the longest distance wheelied in an hour was set by someone called manuel

[avoycendeether]

TG will always have the year record in my heart. Given the geopolitical backdrop, equipment, climate...his accomplishment should always hold an extra special place in cycling history.

As a kid, I did a wheelie for .46 miles on my BMX. I was a legend in my town amongst my peers. I thought I was the king of the world. Those wheelie records are insane!

This channel and bike radar are the best bike channels in the entire world

the old man Marchand! Unbelievable stuff. He is 104 now and still climbing cols. Crazy.

I broke the Campagnolo record last week!

record 6: 3139 is not the record; Brumotti did 3700 steps at the Burj Khalifa (there is a video here at Youtube)

[gazzervw]

Front wheel puncture while doing a wheelie, brilliant ! 😃

[Thewolf_]

whats your guys take in intermittent fasting & eating high carb while training fasted ? love gcn you guys are the best

[SlowBoyAthlete]

Ah at last! Another Lloyd-Stephens Factoff. Thanks GCN!  But I would vote for Matt this round. I reckon he pipped Dan at the post with that very last one. Close race gentlemen!

The guy on the right makes me laugh aha Wicked video.

If Sagan had a year of freetime, every record would be broken

[davepratt]

I thought Dan was going to come back with "What's the tallest log you have made it over?" when Matt had the jump fact.

[mcreez]

dear GCN, can you make a video explaining about aerobic and/vs. anaerobic training? :)

[billhollis]

Hey guys, Craig Cannon broke the climb record in Berkeley on South Park Drive. Not here in San Francisco.  Though it's not surprising for a record like that to be broken in either hate these hills n mountains sometimes x_xJust thought I'd let ya know since the actual South Park in SF is mostly flat terrain. >.>

An idea for a Top 10. Where are they now? Even cycling greats fall from the public eye and some of us would love to know where some of our heroes have gotten themselves to. Some examples are Joop, Big Mig and Fignon.

OK, so this show begs the question (and a possible video) of which presenter can ride a wheelie the longest. Peter Sagan got famous mad press when he popped a wheelie in a race. But which of the Bristol 4 (GCN presenters) can ride a wheelie the longest?. Obviously we can't invite Danny MacAskill (technically a CGN presenter from Weekly Cycling News #3, but who we haven't seen for a while).

Sorry guys you are not correct about the record for riding a bicycle up stairs. V. Brumotti rode up more steps than Herba. Herba @ Taipei 101 is 3139 steps @500meters high. Brumotti @ Burj Khalifa is 3700 steps @828 meters high. V. Brumotti is the current record holder. They’re both what you might call nutters though.

[mannymerc]

Here is one impressive cycling record you didn't include in the list, the most consecutive 2nd places in the pro peloton, Peter Sagan.

6:22 Maybe he brought the front down too hard and impact-flatted?
