They mentioned 3 UK bike manufactures left in the show, who are these?

Thinking Orange and Pashley, Moulton and Brompton still make full bikes in the UK, anyone else?

Not too sure that the vegan bit is serious. He was tucking into a bacon and egg sarnie on last weeks train episode...

Think the bloke appears very interesting from all I have seen and read and I too would also like to go ride with him and then sit chatting over a brew or a pie and a pint. Guess that counts as a heterosexual man crush lol

Saw him at Dalby a few months ago, said all reet but wasn't stopping for a chat. He rode Hit the North last year or year before? He's done a few documentaries...all good fun. A tour of the orange factory in Halifax - search ' it is what it is'.
Not forgetting that he's a isle of man TT racer...had some bad do's!!!
I think he's funny as ....

I tried five minutes of this. Despite only living down the road from Llandudno and having an interest in the industrial revolution, the presenter was too annoying.

the presenter was too annoying.

agree, belongs on cbbc-- its a promo for him-- wtf-- i suppose if you like boilersuited victorian lookalikes its ok for two minutes-- same here saxabar-- my mate at work used to spend four months seconded onto the trams for winter maintenance-- he did all the wood work side of things, he's now retired so i expect they will outsource to some other outfit now-- no apprentices for the last twenty years !

You found the channel change button then, well done. 🙂

Great programes and if it gets just one lad or girl to look at engineeing as a good career and see the excitement, and thrill of seing something youve worked on being built and used by many for a long time, then the programe did well as did the presenter.
