Which bike would you rather ride around the world on? Let us know in the comments 👇
Retro for the romance but I admit that the modern cycles are amazing works of performance art. I am in my mid 50s and feel nostalgic for my older slower bikes now that I am older and slower.
I mean, the modern performance bike works because there was team support and spare bikes, which no average rider would have. His first trip was more indicative of what anyone else would be dealing with; maintaining your one and only bike, fending for yourself for food/water/shelter, no science informed diet plan but rather whatever you can find locally and fit in a bag. And, that it was entirely self-sustained makes it more impressive in some ways. But, anyways, for the stated reasons, the only bike most of us would ever be able to do this on would be one more like the retro.
Both!!!!!!!!
koga new ebike im no hero besides im an old geezer.
Horses for courses.
Both are too big, anyway 🤣
Petition for Mark being a full time gcn presenter
Part-time is better - he has less responsibilities. Don't ruin Mark, please. You do listen to his podcast, right?
@@workingguy6666 where can i listen to it??
@@8paolo96 YES! I can listen to a podcast through my Sena bike helmet with integrated Bluetooth but I can't watch videos and be safe.
@@8paolo96 just type in endurance podcast mark beaumont
The guy is a full time ultra-endurance athlete, how do you imagine he'd fit that in? In his sleep?
The man is a legend, no bullshit from him. A man to be listened to.
Mark is a natural presenter. Glad to see more of him on GCN.
Agreed.
Those paint dings in the front of the 80days seattube are from the metal thermos flask Mark had his coffee in each morning - the KOGA paint job is great! (Marks mechanic)
Really enjoyed that. Nice to see the adoring way he looks and touches his bikes. It's not just me then.
me: "oh man I'd love to do that someday!"
also me: *starts checking the clock 15 min into a 1 hour ride*
Totally agree with marks sentiments on listening to the bike noises and getting a boost when those sounds are not the wrong ones.
I am currently on my folding mini velo, running 1x10 drivetrain. Chainring makes quite a bit of noise, it sounds like the most inefficient part of the drivetrain...
As someone that fixes most parts of my bike, I agree to that. Sound is indeed one of the best indicators for mistakes in the setup.
I'm also big on listening to my bike. As quiet as possible please, except for the free hub. I used to hot wax my chain, it looked great, but it was too noisy. Now it often looks dirty, but doesn't make a sound.
He is a motivational speaker
Totally. I loved the sound of my mountain bike when I switched from Shimano to SRAM in around 2009. The SRAM groups had the awesome mechanical clicks when it changed where as the Shimano was pretty silent.
Absolutely love how humble Mark still is. What an inspiration! And absolutely epic to look at these two bikes side by side!
He was no small part of the inspiration that took me across Japan on a touring bike. Legend!
Nice one. I can completely relate to that. He's inspired me to start touring again, after 40 years, here in Thailand. I'm so pleased I did. Japan also on my list when this lockdown stuff ends.
Mark Beaumont, Jenny Graham, Chris Hoy, Graeme Obree, Robert Millar (Phillippa York) something about being Scottish, their state of mind that seems to make truly exceptional and inspirational cyclists.
You need to be extremely tough just to ride a bike in Scotland. Worst weather in the world
Shockingly you left out Danny McAskill. Shame on you!
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 I am a big fan - my bad.
Legendary achievement. Had the fortune of meeting him a couple of times and talk about his bikes and trips. Just a really nice down to earth guy.
Loving the Mark & Hank bromance episodes on GCN+
Actually, I like undiluted Mark more, Hank is like his slightly hyperactive kid brother
It works because of their positivity. They obviously get on well.
Great to see Mark doing more presenting. Whole different style to the other presenters...Mark talks about the experience, the big picture. He talks in paragraphs, not sentences!
Can't wait to watch the films!
I'm a simple man - I see a GCN video with Mark and I click it. What a legend.
Fabulous to see Mark talking about his record breaking bikes. The documentary is awesome too. He is such a natural and warm presenter. I’ve watched all the GCN+ videos with him in now and can’t wait for the next. Inspirational.
GCN's editing is on point, good job.
Loved the documentary on Mark's round- the- world trip on GCN+, just wish it were longer!
Did the end of it feel a little rushed to you? Or was it just me?
loved it as well!
I would love to se a 80 hours special
Well he completed it quickly didn't he😂
Got GCN+, the first 2 films I watched were Mark's round the world in 80 days parts 1 & 2.
The discounted 20 euros for the full year were worth it for that film alone, such an epic ride.
Well done GCN team for making this happen, the GCN+ content is great.
Suggestions:
- A "like" button on films in the GCN app would be nice. It feels weird not being able to let the team know how much I enjoyed certain videos
- Is there anyway to watch GCN+ from Windows? My android screen is tiny compared to my laptop :(
Amazing accomplishments both times. An absolute inspiration. Great video, thanks for sharing!
You are one of my favourite people Mark !!! Greatings from Serbia...
I would say man and machine in harmony but it’s machine and machine! Fantastic to hear you talk through the mindset of your achievements and the obvious love you have for your bikes - inspirational!
I am so happy that he mentions the dynamo situation, because for me that is a total essential and I never understand why it is not more in use, especially here in Sweden with a looong dark winter season... And I never like the attachable lights as much as my installed one plus you don't need to think about charging, getting them stolen or plainly forgetting them.
I've just started using a Son Deluxe Dynamo linked to a Kline USB converter for my recent tour here in Thailand. I'd never be without it now. Great for lights and charging phones, cameras, and GPS computers.
Watched both around the world AND The Africa adventures. Amazing effort and drive. Thanks, Mark. Your trips with James are also fun!!
Thanks for sharing! I too love the marks and dents on my bike, they sort of personalize them, brings character to them.
Reading your 80 Day book now. Fascinating, harrowing and tremendous. An awesome achievement, well done Mark.
I absolutely get your point when you talk about the pleasure of listening to the noises of your bike. I love that, too. When I'm on my trusty old Cannondale CAAD5 and I hear the combination of sounds coming from it beyond 30 km/h, I feel at home somehow. The drivetrain's quiet whirring, changing gears mechanically (105 groupset), the new DT Swiss PR1600 rims with Schwalbe Pro One tyres on them, inflated to 9 bars, reacting acoustically to various road surfaces and on top of that my sometimes heavy breathing exactly in the rhythm of my pace. It almost a thing of beauty. And by the way, the old Shimano WH-R 550 (!) sounded completely different.
I think it's the first time ever that I heard someone talk about this side of cycling at all. It's good to know I'm not the only one... ;-)
Love the details in the bikes. Thanks for sharing Mark.
G
Fascinating video. I always enjoy anything covering Mark’s cycling exploits. I cannot imagine doing repeat 100 mile days on the older bicycle any more than I can doing 240 in a day on any bicycle.
I'm reading your book about riding across Africa. My dad got it for me for xmas. Really enjoying it! A real look at those places many miss.
Loved around the world in 80 days, so epic. Loved the bike breakdown. Such inspiration Mark. Cheers
Incredible documentary to watch, Mark is a machine and reading the endurance book has inspired me to actually get out and ride more
Mark, outstanding presentation. I have your book "Endurance" and I really enjoy all of your episodes on the GCN channels. Keep up the great work, I use it as inspiration and to remind myself that the only limits are self induced. Thank you.
BRILLIANT VIDEO! Extremely inspirational in many ways. I realized his adventures can be obtained by anyone willing to embark on the journey. Perhaps not around the world, but just by riding a bike, we can all enjoy the world we have.
09:12 - Truth ! I'm building a tourer and am considering getting the most obnoxiously loud freehub I can lay my hands on for that very reason.
The documentary on the achievement is stunning - the highs and lows of the trip but the determination winning over fatigue is something that is truly inspiring.
I won't spoil it for anyone but there's a section in the 2nd part of the documentary that shows that although Mark had a goal, a deadline, a drive to complete this mammoth task, the compassion shown really moved me.
No further words required - just wow!
Enjoyed this & the documentary. Started my own ‘mini’ endurance in 2019 with an Everesting & doing the NC500 in May, 5 days...so easy paced 😂. The endurance book is a great help
Loved it Mark. Thanks for sharing
Best bike review I’ve seen In a long time 👌🏻Mark I’ve just watched your around the world videos on GCN+ and they are utterly amazing and inspirational!!! It’s true that Scottish men are as hard as nails 💪🏻😃😍
The “80 days” film was incredible. Binge watched a few over the weekend and highly recommend the Patagonia bike packing film. Also the longest descent was another epic. Inspirational Mark. Great content GCN+ 👍🏻
Mark, that was a joy to watch. True passion for the task at hand and full respect, dare I say 'love', for the bikes :) Long may you reign, Mark. Double thumbs up from me !! :)
Oh Boy... I saw the two documentaries today... I've been Watching GCN+ everyday, and today was a treat... You are very driven and relentless.
Big hug to you.
thanks for GCN+
Mark is abaolutely my favorite GCN person.
Your bikes are a good choice from an excellent Dutch brand. The documentary was breathtaking. You are a hero.
Thanks for sharing Mark.
Great video and loved the documentaries Mark 👍🏻😊
Cheers Mark, if you are in it, I'm watching. Guaranteed class sir, great seeing you and Hank team up also!
I see Mark, and I click “LIKE “. Beautiful machines. Excellent presentation. Thanks, Mark and GCN! P.s. The sound of a loud freehub is the song of precision craftsmanship.
The second of course! The colour is so cool!
Wow!!! Great video Marc Beaumont and GCN!!
Watched the documentary parts 1 and 2 on GCN+ twice and enjoyed it very much. The modern bike is so cool and Mark is an absolute legend.
Amazing to see the difference between the two bikes. And the love Mark has for them.
Mark is my inspiration to take up touring again. The guy is a legend. He's a brilliant presenter and I'd love to see more of him.
Mark, I listen to your podcast. So glad to have you back here.
Thanks Mark, great video!
it never ceases to amaze me what you find in Edinburgh's mews garages .. and Mark is officially a legend
Inspirational and epic! Yeah, the sound of the bike!
Love watching and listening to Mark
Psyched to see Mark on the channel more💪
The films about Mark’s record attempt were amazing. They were so inspiring and kept me spinning the pedals on some boring trainer sessions while it was snowing outside. Having ridden a couple of races that are 205 miles, I couldn’t fathom doing 240 miles every day for 80 days. The will and fitness Mark has is incredible. Kudos to Mark and to GCN for making the films available cataloguing his record.
Soooo rad!!! Makes me want to do a suffer fest! Thanks!
Impressive mindset , relentless in his pursuit … just so very inspiring loved his first book when he cycled solo around the world self supported …. Encore 👏🏻
very rare I watch a full GCN video, but this is great and full credit to Mark for it
Mark content is fantastic. I want to drop everything I am doing and hop on my bike everytime. I am going to have to buy the Endurance book.
I saw one of your 80 day bikes at Edinburgh Airport a few years back, lovely looking machine. 🔥
I'm with you there is something completely unscientific but very satisfying about jumping on your bike and getting that feeling its fast.
Awesome. The bikes are brilliant. Beaumont is legend.
Mark looks younger now than when he rode around the world first time.
That's mainly because of the beard he used to have. :D
love ya man super cyclist i still watch your record breaking tour around the world epic.
Such a beautiful bike, it's even more impressive with the man and the story behind it.
I love my Selle SMR saddle. Wouldn't use amy other now! Loved the documentary huge respect!
Just bought a Selle to replace my B17. Hoping I have a better experience with the Selle as haven't got on well with the B17.
Those documentaries were insanely good. Watched both parts last night, the Patagonia adventure this evening, 1903 on Friday, and the incredible adventure of the Chile expedition. That one was so good. I feel like Marc lives in my living room these days.
Watched back to back part 1 and part 2 of around the world in eighty days - best £19.99 I've spent in ages! Plus you've got all the other legends to watch...mega bargain!
Amazing episode! Agree with the time-spent on purchasing a house vs. a bike; I did the same for my car by a large margin.
Yeah, man needs a regular documentary series. Fascinating guy. Always great to watch and learn about his adventures.
Good on you Mark! GCN are lucky to have you!
Aha! 1:40... I remember seeing that sign when I was moving from NY to Florida and me and my wife started to sing Georgia on my mind 😄
What a legend and genuinely lovely guy!
This is some quality content GCN!
Mark, what a legend you are!
Great film Mark thanks. You could do with cleaning the chain on your second bike!
this just made my trekking/hybrid bike a lot more exciting😄
What a legend!!! Well done!!
An inspiration man!
Brilliant to see both bikes that circumnavigated the planet! 💪👏
Good to see them in an untouched state too.
Just incredible!
I could watch him all day. Legend 💪
Class film Mark👏👏
Met Mark at a business function and really is as nice and genuine as he appears on the videos. On gripe; only one of those bikes has been round the world!
Having seen most of GCNs documentary style videos on the channel such as this one made GCN+ an easy purchase.
Golden. Details about your tourer that were hard to pick out in your book.
So impressed with these two spins around the globe, awesome, Mark, mighty cool. And the bikes, too. And so now, if you did it again unsupported, what would you ride, considering all the new frames and bags and such.
Mark, you are Legend, man.
Love whenever we get Mark Beaumont on GCN
How do we know he did not use a motor on his bike? Compared to this, winning Tour de France sounds like nothing. We doubt all Tour winners in the history. Yes, Mark Beaumont is an absolute hero and an inspiration, and a great guy, but this is just something too amazing. I don´t understand how a human being is able to do what he did.
Brilliant video....brilliant bikes.
Love the classic look of the first one.
A life for and on the bike! We love it! Ride on... ride on we‘ll go along! Hinze
This is the best kind of GCN video.
Sir.....thank you for your dedication. I am amazed by people every day. Be safe , eh?
More MB on gcn please. He is a total legend. Can recommend the book about his 80 day record.
