    Box Hill is not a proper hill. And, with those words, Emma shatters the TdF illusions of thousands of Surrey-based mamils 🤣🤣🤣

    I find myself really liking Emma all of a sudden. She’s not ashamed to possibly look less than awesome in a good cause. In the process, she looks more awesome than ever.
    Now I’m going to have to donate. No way I can turn down a plea like that. Honestly, this is the best sponsorship request for a charity event I can ever recall seeing.

    Emma struggling up the climb on this bike is how us mere mortals climb everyday of the week on super light weigh bikes.

    I loved your comment at the end about never thinking about carrying capacity. To that I say, welcome to us cycling commuters. It takes an amazing rider to push that bike in that gearing up ANY hill. I would be pushing it all the way up. Keep up the great work at GCN!

    Emma, what a fantastic challenge. I am sure that you will get through it with your usual good style and grace. What a great cause to be raising funds for and I hope that your bike has a tonne of oranges on the back, such a great bike which can do a lot of good. I did love how you tried to go through a typical GCN bike review... think that I know which is more of a practical bike.. buffalo wins every time! Great riding Emma and good luck on the ride. Very much look forward to seeing all the riders faces when you go past them riding that!!!

    • @gcn

    Emma, you're a class act. So happy to see GCN broadening its scope and addressing real challenges in the world that have a cycling angle. Not surprised to see Emma leading the charge. Love everything you bring to the channel. Keep up the good work!
    P.S. would love to see GCN tackle more topics like bike share, electric bikes as a legitimate alternative to personal autos, protected bike lanes, and cycle/ped friendly urban planning and renewal!

    • @gcn

    @6:17 Emma tries to move the pedal back up to level, feels resistance and looks down to remember that coaster brake don't play like that.

  • @randyeller8139
    @randyeller8139 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The bicycle equivalent of having a formula 1 driver race a produce truck ( green grocer lorry) in a local event. Glad to see a top tier rider have a bit of humility and be willing to ride at mere mortal speed to prove cycling isn't always about speed, it's about getting to ride. Great video!

    I was so sorry to see Matt leave GCN but in Emma you have absolutely the best presenter. I've sponsored but please add the link to this page so that others can easily get to the page to contribute, if not for the cause, for Emma.
    Personal request can we have Emma do a video on Duathlons!!!

    The gearing looks too high even for its proper use. With larger loads on bumpy dirt roads, does GCN recommend a lower gear for this wonderful bike?

    • @Awol991
      @Awol991 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It has a coaster brake as well as the caliper. I would not rely on the front wheel caliper brake. The caliper material looks like the standard low end flat press which flexes and is likely to shudder under moderate to heavy application.

    So carrying a lot of oranges. To get noticed after the 1/2 way point of the race let other rides pick out an orange if they want.

  • @roguedog98

    A few mods would be okay, Emma, particularly a Shimano Nexus hub. And thanks for doing this ride and promoting this cause. I will pitch in and cheer for you. And in fashion news, I like your new shades.

      Michael McDermott you’re right. Even with an entirely prune based diet that’s a lot of weight to shift.

  • @greg_loper
    @greg_loper 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @gcntech can you shed some light on the top tube on the buffalo bike? Not sure what the purpose of the bend v an angled top tube #torqueback

    • @greg_loper
      @greg_loper 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That makes some sense. Maybe I am dense but it would seam easier to build, cheaper, and more structurally sound to just continue the top tube straight to a lower point on the seat tube.

    • @chris1275cc
      @chris1275cc 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The only down side I can see to "continue[ing] the top tube straight to a lower point" is the top tube wouldn't line up with the seat stays so the top tube itself might be stronger if it was straight but you would lose half the triangle on 6" or so of the seat post and that's where the 100kg rated rack attaches. Alot of HT MTB's do the same thing www.onyerbike.co.uk/image/cache/catalog/diamondback_2017/db%20heist%200.0-1200x800.jpg

    • @nstrug
      @nstrug 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      chris1275cc yep and the top tube also need to line up with the rack mount points if you are planning to carry up to 100kgs in the rack. These things get used to carry three full milk churns so need to be incredibly strong.

  • @Gribbo9999
    @Gribbo9999 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually the bent cross-bar ("top tube" to all you kids ) is great for carrying sacks while pushing the bike too. I like the back pedal hub brake. Guaranteed the front brake will be broken within a few weeks so the internal long lasting rear brake is doubly important where even replacing brake blocks is beyond the budget of some. Down side is you can't brake while pushing (or being pulled more like) a heavy load such as those sacks downhill.
    Good luck on your ride Emma! I hope many lives are improved by access to a good bike through your efforts!

    You forgot to mention how did you manage to bend that front fender. It is not bent in all of the scenes.

    First sensible bike portrayed in GCN, nevertheless :)

    The buffalo bike probably makes a good home trainer with that steel enter stand and I think that Emma would probably win (our hearts) with that bike!!! Good luck Emma!!!.
    Update: why not change the gear ratio?

    Why no helmets on buffalo bike riders? Are they provided helmets with the bikes?

    The bicycle sharing needs have been grossly overestimated in China.
    There are possibly millions of bikes wasting away in their junk yards that could be for Africa. The Guardian states, "Shanghai currently has 1.5 million shared bikes on the streets, and despite its population being three times greater than London, that number far outstrips the 11,000 Santander Cycles peppered throughout the UK capital."

      Let me guess: The Chinese bike sharing was something they tried to make happen, instead of it being something they allowed to happen.

      That's how socialism works; instead of letting the market forces reveal how much the people want to make use of something the government tries to build enough of a good thing that everyone has access to it whether they need it or not.

      You are aware that it was private companies building those bikes, right? The rant on socialism looks pretty silly when you realize that.

    Is this the last video on GCN about World Bike Relief? I have just donated and was wondering if GCN had covered their 500k goal, but was surprised to see no new videos on the topic at all.

    If Emma keeps riding that up climbs, she's going to have legs like quadzilla.
