  • Mallorca might be cycling’s worst kept secret: beautiful weather, fantastic roads and gorgeous views make it top of many cyclists’ bucket lists. However, even Mallorca has its hidden gems. Local rider and ex-pro Vicente Reynés has devised a special route, featuring some of the island’s lesser known roads and quite literally breathtaking climbs!
    Check out the route on Komoot:

      Yes, and people don't have to ride a road bike, mountain bike, or gravel bike to enjoy it. Most people would be better off riding commuter bikes, just like the ones used in europe and asia. Cheap and reliable.

    This bike was really easy to assemble czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

    I really enjoy GCN but really feel it's time they have a presenter that's the average Joe, not an ex pro. It would be great to see more viewpoints from someone with average skill and also an average bank balance so to the mere mortals of us we can actually watch videos including bikes that may be in our grasp rather than the expensive bike porn that is now GCN. I really would love to see more bikes in the £1000-£2000 range.
    Hope this is something GCN considers.

      I think it was sponsored by Komoot. (The logo was in the top left for a bit). I think them using the map helped make for a more exciting trip... going the wrong way, not knowing how much longer to climb, etc. All part of the "hidden gem" theme.

      I don't have a expensive bike - but I have a Garmin Etrex, which shows the route, counts kilometers and other things, it's cheap compared to what a CGN bike costs

    No hidden gems at all, always ride them

    Would love it even more without the false stories of being lost. Waste of time you could have used to show more hidden gems (Mallorca has an east coast, too).

    Some of the scripted acting reminds me of a certain adult film genre. Im half expecting a pizza delivery randomly inserted.
