    Raleigh and Schwinn are the two bike companies I will forever root for. Some folks look down on them for their mass production business model but the truth is they made bikes accessible to millions of people and that is a great thing.

      I was a kid in the '80s, and just about everyone was riding a Raleigh bike back then. To see that they're still around and thriving brings back fond memories!

      My first road bike I got aged 8 was a Raleigh and my first MTB was also a Raleigh when I was about 12. Where I grew up our LBS was a family run Raleigh stockist and I learned so much from Mary who ran the shop, and her mechanic (except his name). I'll always remember his advice about not over-lubing the chain, as well as the phrase "don't use no wa*k pliers" for cutting cable outer. Raleigh were my route into cycling and although I have fancy carbon bikes now, I have a couple of Raleigh jerseys and an enamel sign in my workshop to celebrate the brand.

      The mid 90s was all about the Raleigh Activator complete with suspension forks. Had a local Raleigh shop in the days when there seemed to be more cycling presence on the high street.

    Every video I see with Conor makes me realize that I take life WAY too seriously and need to relax a bit. Maybe we should all unleash our inner 5-year-old self a little more often!

    Cargo bike make so much sense in cities. I‘ve seen DHL and UPS tricyles in the wild that can carry even more stuff and don‘t need to be pulled on a stand at the stops.

    Fantastic video!!!it is not all about racing and new gear and so on. Bikes could be a serious possibility for cities. An applause for you guys and for Raleigh too. Really enjoyed it! Let's hope some businesses start thinking in the environment and apply this type of initiatives. It totally makes sense for deliveries inside the town.

      @volkoren9897 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not just could be, they are. In the Netherlands cargo bikes are really common for families (easy to transport small children) and for delivery. It is often faster, nicer and parking is easier.

    great episode. I have a tricycle which I use for my shopping. So much easier to collect and take home and its comfortable. Another good feature of cargo bikes/tricycles is that drivers generally give you plenty space if you have to use the roads.

  • @mrsmith4662
    @mrsmith4662 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a great fun challenge (had to sympathise with poor 'ol Manon at struggling to just get the bike off the centre stand when fully loaded, but she did great). Such generosity - just hope the delivery runs now continue on these bikes.

  • @moonlight5050

    Could they deliver Pizza 🍕 next..? 🤔🤔

    I adore that you guys - including the slab climb - are finally embracing ebikes!!! Loved this video! We have come from me hardly watching GCN to finally feel good about watching it because you guys “get it” - i have a carbon road bike for one purpose - and my 3 ebikes for much different reasons. On your commuter challenge thing? love it. but not sure i heard you guys mention that if you start riding bikes for nearly everything? I changed to progressive snapshot and saved a ton [this is not an ad, just what i did] on insurance because i only drive a car when i HAVE to. Shine on you wonderful folks at GCN.

    I think the reason why Manon pulled a better pint. Is because she is the correct height to reach the taps. Conor couldn't reach them properly and couldn't see the beer in the glass correctly. I'm actually surprised you could find a cargo bike big enough for Conor.

    i work as a bike courier in milan (italy) and here in our city there are some big companies as DHL that deliver by bike. My company, which name is bicicouriers, delivers for various customer, mainly for a winery and for a butcher, but we deliver also for a florist, a notary office and so on. It is very rapid and we can easily skip all the trafic issues that happens daily in our big city. Unfortunately we have only muscular bikes and our maximum deliver of wine can weight up to 160kg. i very enjoy this job because it keeps me in shape for my bike rides (i ride 45-50km for an half day or 70-85 for a full day), it's a green alternative to trucks and it keeps me out of an office

    Great video, guys! My suggestion on the next thing to carry/deliver would be building and construction materials. You'll probably need a longtail and maybe a trailer for that, especially for the bulkier items.

    e-cargo bikes definitely have their place for small volume, in-town deliveries, but I'd wager money that Bristol Beer Factory had vans/trucks out on the road on that same day delivering larger orders and kegs. Also as Manon indirectly mentioned, the rain can make this sort of delivery method really miserable.
    I hope BBF puts those bikes to good use and that other companies follow suit where it makes sense. I'm assuming the bike courier companies have expanded into 'cargo' deliveries and run fleets of these, which could be a much more efficient model than each business sending out part loaded bikes.

      Quattrovelo velomobile exists. Why GCN didnt ask John Williams from velo ads to borrow it?

    Brilliant film as always guys! Such a great message about shifting the use of vans on that last mile of delivery! Let’s hope it sticks! Also I thought Conor might have come a bit unstuck there, setting his Chat-Nav to full, buying plants etc. I half expected Manon to speed past him, race back first and to have drunk the brewery dry by the time Conor got back… her surname is Lloyd after all! 😂
