Why We Ride

The humble bicycle is the greatest invention of all time. It keeps us healthy, helps us connect, and sets us free. Whatever the problem - the bike can be the answer.

GCN is the reason why I bought a Road Bike 🥺❣️

Goosebumps. This needs to go alongside a ‘Cycling Inspiration’ definition.

When i ride...i leave behind all the stress, anxiety and worry...at that moment it is just me, the bike and an open road with full of possibilities...riding gives me a sense of satisfaction and solitude in otherwise a chaotic world..

[Ali_Kurt]

Love the new era of extra professional GCN!

I hardly comment on youtube videos, but I pay my respect to this one. The most insiring cycling video I've seen! Kudos to everyone. Now back to my bike 🚴

Ride just so I can eat cake basically. 😐 Cycling inspires me to eat cake

I ride for me. In 2018 I was having health issues with stomach and my weight shot up to 216 pounds and no amount of running was helping. With the help of a dietitian we nailed down what goods were causing the problems and in 2019 I switched to road cycling and I have dropped 53 pounds. Thank you GCN for keeping me motivated to keep riding. 2020 was my best year ever I covered 7026 kms between my indoor trainer and riding outdoors.

I was sold already after they first announced there will be documentaries. I hope I can support you guys to spread the sport we love.

Great Vid,
You guys have inspired me and maybe many others to go biking more often
Thank you so much for over the years

Riding has always been a favorite past time as a kid. Later on in life, riding has helped me through anxiety, depression, and helped me cut 50 pounds, living a healthier lifestyle. No expensive bikes either. I did buy a new bike a few months ago though but haven't been riding because of the temperatures.

It turns those bad days into better ones. It makes you forget about your worries, even if only for a few hours. After a good ride, coming home to shower and eat, you always feel a lot better.

I look at subscribing to GCN+ not only for content but to support GCN for all the inspiration that gets me riding almost daily which in turn made me healthier and happier human being! Thanks GCN!

[aydapadi]

I cycle to feel freedom, spend time alone to think, spend time with someone, to challenge my body, to revel and be amazed at what it can push and how much it can change. Love this video!

[yourneighborsdog]

I can see GCN evolved, huh🤔

greetings from Philippines!

[InspiredITALY]

Wow! Possibly the best video that you guys have produced! The message gets our full backing! Ride-On! Ciao!

[einmannmusic]

I stared riding in the summer and watch gcn videos everyday.
Just got on my bike and climbed some km, turned around and just let myself go down the road again.
Its changing my life, and my pockets since i bought more 3 steel bikes.
