How long have you been watching GCN? 👀
Si , one time just wear a pair of off-road goggles and get everyone going, for an extra cool factor get the ones Motorsport racers use the kind with removable sections call tear offs, when the get dirty you simply peel off a layer and you have clean goggles.
I started way back in 2016, so just a bit away from original.

Based on personal experience the deepest puddle that is fordable on a bike is at least over the axles of your wheels.Visit southern China during spring monsoon season and we will teach you how..
I started watching a few episodes in to 2013 on YouTube, got the app as soon as it came out, and became a GCN plus member on the first day. Love watching the progression of your channel, and can't wait to see what you bring in the next 10 years.
I started watching after I bought my cannondale in 2013, so right around the beginning. I even sport some GCN kit 👍.
Congratulations on 10 years GCN!
Marcel’s eInk display and codec is phenomenal. Is there a link to the code? Happy New Year all – keep up the amazing work (and perhaps check out the Serotta in my Bike Vault… how about a retro bike Nice/Super Nice?)
I first "discovered" GCN only when Covid-19 entered the world and I got back into cycling after a twenty year hiatus.
I started watching GCN in 2017 when I got SPD-SL cleats on my first roadbike. Had to google how to clip in and out and found very useful info on your channel, have followed you ever since. Well done, fantastic presenters and great content. I’m also subscribing to GCN+ since its launch.
Whatever happened to Cillian's l'etape du tour video? I was there and hoping to see how he did.
I won a very very early caption competition. You guys didn't have any bottles so I got a signed GCN T-shirt by, Si, Dan, Lasty and Matt. It's been framed on the wall ever since.
Started in 2017, I think. Tom was still a commentator. When was that? Then on the first day of GCN Plus we subscribed. GCN has been part of our cycling journey. Both my husband and me.
My first GCN video was the original bike party 🙂 .
And then Matt and Dan jousting baguettes w/ their Kask Infinity helmets (eventually bought one myself back then too lol)
Thanks Dan, Si, and the entire GCN crew for making my daily morning yoga so enjoyable year after year! 💪🏻❤️🚵🏻♀️
My highlight of the last decade is Si’s WD40 cleaning/lubing masterclass 😅
Had to check out my GCN history – Been watching GCN since at least 2017. If there's ever a question of the impact GCN has:
+ It took me years to save up for a bike, and GCN kept that spark alive in the mean time.
+ Si, I still regularly make the energy (über) bars from your recipe – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMJEIiWV3VQ&t=1s
GCN is the BuzzFeed of cycling.
Stumbled across GCN in about 2014, while looking for tech tips on bike maintenance. This has resulted in my local bike shops making a fortune out of me following my cak handed cyclobodgery. Still keep trying to fix things myself though, keep it up!
Please do a video on how you try to do marceljan's cycling dashboard
I'm sorry for making anyone cry. Truly.
I’ve been with you for the full 10 years, and have enjoyed watching GCN grow .
Especially GCN + , I love it ? Documentaries and live racing are great !
full 10 years for me
Here since the very start, can’t believe it’s been 10 years … Congrats
Didn't own a bike 10 years ago. Full time runner. Injuries and age caught up with me. I had to cut back on running and bought a bike to fill in the extra time. Started watching GCN late 2016 because it added to the fun and helped me figure out what I was doing. I felt a lot better about the challenges of clipping-in seeing a retired pro laugh about it.
