Richard Hammond Swears At Van Man

We are going to issue this warning now: This video contains a lot of swearing. Not just a few choice words that you may not want others in the office around you to hear but a LOT of swearing – more like more actual swear words than not swear words.

DO NOT PLAY THE BELOW VIDEO AT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE HEADPHONES ON.

He swears a LOT.  A very lot.

Are we clear? Because there’s a reasonable chance you could lose your job if you are in one of those offices that have rules about this kind of thing.

So what is he swearing about? And why are we putting a 10 second video of a Top Gear presenter on our site this Monday morning? Well, it’s because he’s on a bike. On the road. And gets all cut up by a van driver. We are pretty sure that no matter what your attitude to swears, if you’ve ridden a bike on the road you will have some empathy with him in this clip. But if you are also like us you will admire the instant, heartfelt poetry of the string of words he emotionally but meaningfully lines up at the very moment they are needed. It’s just so satisfying to hear.

If you are not like us and you don’t like swears at all, then don’t press the play button.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
