Haven't watched it for a year but had to share!
Ahh cummon - its the best waste of 5 mins of your time!
Polly in lycra would be worth 5 minutes of my time.
£22,000 😯
Why do they still say 'computer designed' to mean cutting edge technology. I'd be very surprised if anything I'd bought in the last 5 years (excluding fruit and veg!) wasn't designed on a computer!
Road bikes are all rubbish and they don't look any different.
56 seconds in (spot the blindingly obvious mistake?)
its terrible isn't it - on soooo many levels - thought you'd all [s]like [/s] hate it if you gave it a chance 😉 LOL
Oh where to start? In no particular order
Non comparable bikes
Her bike was too big
It wasnt really a race?!
His helmet
His cornering style
His riding style on the climb
What a waste of 5 mins but thanks for sharing!
56 seconds in (spot the blindingly obvious mistake?)
LOL
Not just me then...
Hope she didn't have to brake too hard for the first corner! 😉
looks like she rode like the whole way like that. No wonder you had to be cautious on the brakes.. You didn't have a front one!
56 seconds in (spot the blindingly obvious mistake?)
camel toe?
56 seconds in (spot the blindingly obvious mistake?)
cant see anything wrong he...NO ****ING WAY!

That is scary and tragic in equal measures.
Helmets with peaks?, riding in trainers?, flippin heck
took me a few looks until, hang on isn't that...
Given 0:56, 2:33 made me laugh. Shocking!
It's great isn't it 🙂
Hmmmm, the brakes work like an F1 car so I had to take it easy in the corners.
or
I had no front brake because the muppets put my front wheel in backwards so corners were a bit hairy!
That video sums up the gadget show perfectly.
Sums up channel 5 too !
The only way it could have been worse is if they'd found some overweight, knock knee-ed, unfit chain smoking old fart to ride the bikes - Where's Clarkson when you need him!
I've driven this track hundreds of thousands of times....
...on my games console.
I'm almost embarrassed for them.
Unfeasibly bad.......
lol his helmet.
also wtf is that cornering style
Pollys bike is far too big for her.
Bring back Suzie Perry... grrrrr
Nothing to do with his mic kit being taped to the back of it weighing the back end down...
The only word that sums that up is "knobbers"
God awful. They might want to involve cyclists at some level the next time they decide to do a feature on bicycles. Just a thought. Idiots.
Wow, one of those bicycles had A COMPUTER on it! Space-age... 🙄
I loved it last night. Does that make me erm sad????
4:04 liking the Polly sound track
I thought I was imagining it when I first saw the front caliper.
It's so bad it's good - LOLOLLLOLLOLLO 🙂
It's just great gotta love the gadget show
God awful. They might want to involve cyclists at some level the next time they decide to do a feature on bicycles. Just a thought. Idiots.
Yeah at least last time (that I remember) they did a feature on Mountain Bikes, although it was fairly unscientific, they did at least get a decent rider (Guy Martin) to ride 2 bikes back to back on the same trail for comparison.
To be fair though, the program is aimed to be easy viewing TV for the uneducated masses, in any are of "tech" that they review, those in the know will always know far more than the actual presenters.
Installing the front wheel the wrong way round on Polly's bike so she had no brakes though was unforgivable... Even if you had no idea about bikes, you'd still see it and think "that shouldn't look like that!"
Just fast forward to 3.58 and enjoy the sound of Polly squealing orgasmically!
Haha! That's unbelievably bad. You'd think someone would know better...
Aren't Onix frames catalogue Chinese carbon jobs?
big deal get over it.
you lot are a bit sad really. 😆
If you want some more laughs, here's me and my clubmates in Sky 1's answer to the gadget show (on a few weeks ago).
Equally as bad dialogue/presenters (and no real reviewing of the products) and a worse location, but at least we're real cyclists (on our own bikes).
Gutted they didnt let me keep that Garmin! 🙁
Did you really actually video your TV for that one Damitamit 🙂
best bit is 1:32 when an Alfa comes into view...
did no-one tell them about cadence?
they should be made to wear clipless - the falls would be good comedy
I reckon what happened was they put the wheel on right, but couldn't get the disc in between the pistons so figured it must be on the wrong way.
That guy is a tool embarrassing to watch, girl in lycra easy on the eyes though, better when you mute the sound.
Jason is quite handy on a bike.....
But yes, its bad but....

minute 22:16 onwards
they attempt to drive a car on a public road. With a 3d tv mounted on the bonnet so they can't see the road. A 3D camcorder then feeds and image an image to the screen.
They didn't kill anyone but they did hit a wall. I know it France but some respect for public roads surely
Did you really actually video your TV for that one Damitamit
Yes I did. Old school piracy! 😉
If you've seen Jason on a MTB feature he is well handy on a bike, guessing he grew up on bmx the way he can handle a bike-certainly more talented and comfortable in the air than many.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt you never know what the director is asking for.
Wheel was put on wrong way around so that she wouldn't grab the brake and fly over the bars. I reckon.
