Next video: our friends at Febi Bilstien and TireStreets UK have sent us these amazing parts, Tom Lenthal will install them and then we're taking both bikes to the Nurburgring
I love the fact this channel isn't automotive, two mates who took a risk and now spend their days making awesome content and lifelong memories. Im here for it.
Totally agree… UA-cam is saturated with automotive content, be it factual, instructive or fun and lighthearted. The lads are braving it by going a completely different direction, and going a bit wacky. Just hope they can keep coming up with ideas for very watchable content.
Most good content is only truly good because of those presenting it. These two are the proof of it. I could watch them run all sorts of channels and as long as they enjoyed making it I think the viewers would all enjoy it. Sorry to say TDC has overtaken autoalex for me in terms of which I enjoy more, those two are just great to watch together.
A little context on the bikes in the canals. The canals are where we grow our bikes. That's why there are more bikes than people. They are slowy replacing us.
Lads you walked for 24 hours, you then cycled 90km, you know what comes next. Enjoy your swim across the channel to complete the triathlon of bad decisions🏊
Jeffery hoogland is a proper catch for this video!! Also that Peugeot would’ve been a lot of people’s dream bike when it was new, that was a good find…. Apart from the years of neglect since then
Easily restored tho. If you don't mind swapping to non original parts. I have an old mid 80ish steel roadies (idk what brand it is as the logo plate was corroded) that I modernised, sort of. And it's still a nice ride around the city, bar some really steep hilly routes.
The Peugeots are just a bit too flimsy for Dutch use, surprise it made it this long at all. A proper Dutch bike from that era will still be fine with the least bit of maintenance done, but those are heavy in the dunes.
As a Dutch person. I am impressed with both of you. We use 2nd hand bikes to commute 20min not long rides like that. The mental strength is impressive 😮
These boys do a lot better than TDC. I wouldn’t compare these two channels. TDC just buy scrap cars, slap on some sponsored parts and then abandone them as no one would buy them in that state.
As a Dutchman, I approve this video. (Oh and the street value of those bikes is about 40€, but in shops around the center of Amsterdam you pay at least double, esp. non natives).
Even in thrift shops a city over, the prices are like this. 75 for a basic omafiets, 100-125 for something decent. But you get warranty. Cheap bikes are bought via friends and online. Plenty of bikes to be had for 25-50 euro.
Also depends on the region and how quick you are and how willing to fix something. Cool bikes in good condition with a flat tire, or a rusty chain, or one working brake can all be had for ~40.
I’ll be honest, when you announced you had left CT to do travel/camping content, I was disappointed but this is now my fav channel in the AA multiverse, your content slaps every time with genuine laughs and relatable videos, love it lads! Thanks so much ❤
This was just great! Please don't throw that Peugeot away! I suggest Ethan buys a british bicycle such as a Raleigh, Dawes from the 70's or so and collaborate with @BikeItUK to help you guys fixing it (and add gears in the case of Jack's 🤣) and then maybe do a round like London to Scotland or something. Add some racks if you need, some tents. I'd love to watch that!
Also! If you follow this idea, I'd try to look for some cheap Reynolds 531 frame you can find on marketplace, thank me later. Plus, I'd like to see that without a time lenght in urge. I think I am not the only one who thinks your videos are great but I hate it when they are over and with that, I think the idea of putting a lenght of time to complete the challenges so often, really cuts the vibe of two lads enjoying different experiences. In summary, I'd like to watch longer videos or even part 1 and 2 :)
That 70's Peugeot bike is actually pretty nice! Shame that it does not have it's original gears. Although a lot of people do convert it to a single gear.
How exactly did that conversation go down? "Hey Mr. double Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist, would you like to review a couple of old €100 bikes on UA-cam?" "...Sure!"
Olympians are people too! My home city had a resident Olympian. He went out to all sorts of community groups etc talking about his experience and passing around his Gold medal. Great guy. Russ Howard Canada gold in curling 2006.
@@colpitts350 I used to work with a former Olympian - Susan Hudgett, Moscow 1980's field hockey gold medallist, from Zimbabwe (I live in Melbourne). She works in this tiny, shitty, wood putty factory doing the books. Still does marathons and an all round legend.
This may very well be the greatest suspense adventure story ever told. As a long distance cyclist, this was f@cking proud and brilliant. I spit up my beer laughing, thank you both. Keep those bikes forever.
Having ridden that stretch between Noordwijk and the Hague a few times, you guys got super lucky with the weather! When it gets windy it can be a real nightmare to ride along the coast! Was fun to see you ride virtually past my house as well🤩
Lads, what do you mean don't put bikes into the canal? That's their natural habitat Every year, they swim up from the Atlantic and breed in those canals. All the bikes you see are locally sourced, and fished from those very canals.
What a great channel this is turning into 👏 completely different direction to the other car throttle guys, and it works perfectly with both your personalities 😁 not one video has been less than 10/10 effort either.
I love seeing these dumb challenges! Stripping stuff back to basics in a world of over the top sponsored content is refreshing and so much more relatable and achievable. With regards to the bikes, I've been riding mainly single speed bikes for years. The first half a dozen rides on one after being used to gears it sucks, then one day it clicks and suddenly it all makes sense. The best way I can describe it is that now you aim for a constant pressure on the pedals, and pace yourself the same way you would if you were walking up a long staircase. I like it for the flow state, and for the weird looks I get, and for the fact that I get free badass points, so even if I'm slow people still think I'm kinda hardcore. And yes sometimes it's too steep and I have to get off and walk, but by that point anyone still riding their bike is going slower than I can hike anyway! The Netherlands is ideal single speed terrain, and I actually went to the European single speed mountain bike championships there once, where I was overtaken up a hill by a man in a cardboard Optimus Prime costume.
Respect to Ethan and Jack, Such cool content, better than the standard we bought a (insert price) written off, car, van, milkfloat rebuilt and fitted a turbo, paid a rolling road and drove it, that is the norm on here now, nice to see a channel thats not the same old lame sh*t repeated.
Loving this one. I think you should fix the bikes up, ride them the entire journey back out to Amsterdam and gift them back to the shop to re sell, or to someone who could really use it. But this instead of the hook of holland ferry, you take the dover to calais route and ride that journey. Im actually planning this for mental health month in May next year if you 2 would like to join a few of us.
When I was young....😮 1983, we went cycling through Kent, garden of England, with a group of 30, we were a sight! Some of us had 3 gear bikes, some no gear bikes. Some hills were hellish!
I love the fact there's a small budget on this channel but it's exchanged for physical challenges, anyone who complains about the lack of budget needs to try these challenges out theirselves, most people out there these days would just give up big respect!
Marco (and velco) from the Amsterdam bike store is literally the best!! They Helped me out so much when first looking for a bike and has been so kind with any fixes I’ve needed after, even in emergencies! So glad you guys got to meet him!
I recently did a 24h race from Vlissingen to Den Helder, which followed a large portion of your route between Zandvoort and Hoek van Holland, although in the opposite direction. It's great to see what the route through the dunes looks like in daylight, beautiful! We also passed a deer at only a couple of meters on the path you did your drag race on, only realising it was a deer seconds after.
@@cyclingonandoffroad Dan zijn we goed weggekomen dat'ie een paar meter naast het fietspad stond in plaats van erop 😳 Hopelijk is het goed afgelopen voor je maat!
Best channel yet! Keep it up boys! How do you feel about spending the same as you did (including maintenance) on your Porsche and buying gravel bikes - and then riding to Inverie? Keep it up. You guys rock.
As above guys... really hitting your stride....can't wait to see what's next. Hope you have lots of ideas and I'm sure these comments will help with a a few lol. Content feels really genuine and original. Keep it up boys
Every single week you guys knock it out the park. I look forward to your videos so much. And WTAF was Jeffrey doing in this video. Absolutely incredible.
Keep it up lads 🎉 nice to see such varied content. But it’s great to see the both of you doing things out side of cars. Would be great to hear you on more of the podcasts.
Another great vid 🙂Love this channel guys. Keep going with the random style. It's the pair of you that we come here for so you can do what you want and we'd still love it 🙂
This channels arc is quite a thing: "Japan! Iceland!" Ethan and Jack: Yay!!! The next 6 months: Noooooo! Are we sure they're not victims of exploitation??
This was so good 😂 loved it all. My guess on getting a Jeffrey Hoogland feature is that he's a genuine fan of the channel and of you both since the CT days. He's got a couple of hundred subscribers only, and a 17 year old youtube account.. my man's been watching content since he was a teenager, just like me. Except he made it to olympic gold medals in the meantime!!
I appreciate you guys for being exactly like me, someone out of shape, that will still stupidly agree to in shape activities, and complain about it the WHOLE time
Great video! I did exactly this about 18 months ago, except it was Amsterdam-Dublin. I took the train for a good bit of it though. I think I bought my bike in the shop at 1:18 . Pro cyclist opinion was excellent too. Keep it coming lads, it's a great channel.
Walking, Cycling, if you need an advice on when you do your RYA Day Skipper practical week: I did mine in Southampton a few years ago. Lovely week in March with sunshine on Monday and Friday. We didn't leave the harbour on Wednesday...
TBH guys I’ve pretty much stopped watching every video of your erstwhile channel mates, but All the Gear is just brilliant. Even if the car content these days is 0%. Well done to you both. Every ATG video just makes my day ❤
On the ride across the shore, you must have passed by the town i grew up in, Monster. We used to ride that bikepath across the dunes all the time. I vividly remember getting my first bike with gears as a teenager and gosh....that made a world of difference on that up and down, up and down path! It is a lovely, lovely path to bike through and enjoy the scenery....when you aren't in a rush.
You guys are legends, Alex splurges on a Porsche, then gets you guys to do zero cost videos, which are very entertaining. Keep up the very fine content.
for zipping around my city in eastern Nebraska, i use a 1983 roadbike very similar to the Peugeot Jack rode. it still has its original 10 gears, and i put on a really good saddle that is very comfortable for longer rides. it's very light, and i comfortably cruise on flat roads at about 30mph while in the saddle, and can go a bit quicker if im standing hard on the pedals. on those bikes, it's all about the GEARS! (i also use a really nice set of continental bike tires that run about 80psi, so they have almost zero rolling resistance, even with my 210 pound body pushing them into the roadway)
The unlocked bikes are only free to use if they have at least one flat tire, the break cable is cut, and the rear fender is loose. ;) We call them "barrels".
Great video lads! Please keep in mind that it is very important to stay hydrated when cycling (drink every 5-7km), because you constantly loosing fluid through sweat and your joints are under more load than usual so it does need fluid like engine does need oil. Also there is infinite number of parts for bikes these days, so you can modify them to your liking, that could be nice video too.
I have always wondered how our track legends would look like on a 'normal' bike haha, can't imagine anything but them breaking a bike every time they try to catch a green light or when they need to hurry with head wind. What a collab haha.
Cracking video and idea... BUT why didn't you also cycle back to AutoAlex HQ when back in England... Top Gear style as a race - that would make for some excellent content! :)
No way u guys biked past my hometown and even used the bikelane in the dunes were I always go for a run! (From Katwijk to Wassenaar). How cool is that! 😊 Hope u enjoyed the ride there, but since u use a timelaps for the entire stretch I think u did! Have a great day guys. Lovely vid again! ❤
It was an honour guys! I’m really glad you went for this challenge! 🎉 Respect for that!
Thank you for not destroying them before we set off
TY for taking the time with the lads
Super cool cameo, loved it 👍

really nice guy whos not precious about the bit of lead .... top bloke
being in luck that this has been filmed after the Olympics often the very few times they really do have a tiny bit of free time.
Jeffery hoogland is a proper catch for this video!!
Also that Peugeot would’ve been a lot of people’s dream bike when it was new, that was a good find…. Apart from the years of neglect since then
probably decades of neglect
Ngl the peugeot would be the perfect city bike for me kind off jealous they got it for that cheap hahaha
Still not a bad find honestly, few hours work and a couple of quid and it'd tidy up to be a really nice bike I'd imagine
Easily restored tho. If you don't mind swapping to non original parts.

Also, Jack, I'll buy the mudguards and the luggage rack off your Peugeot!
You get those, he get $50 on top of the budget for his bike. Its a win-win!
Great stuff! Such a breath of fresh air to the car stuff! Keep it up boys 👍
Ethan’s smile in Amsterdam says it all 🚬 🤣🤣
Great video lads! Please keep in mind that it is very important to stay hydrated when cycling (drink every 5-7km), because you constantly loosing fluid through sweat and your joints are under more load than usual so it does need fluid like engine does need oil.
Also there is infinite number of parts for bikes these days, so you can modify them to your liking, that could be nice video too.
Jeffrey Hoogland on these bikes had me in fits. ha ha
Never thought I'd see Jeffry Hoogland riding a bike like that in the "Leidse Bosje"! Well done guys
Today, we have to find somewhere to live for the next year, for free, because we haven't had the budget to pay our rent and mortgages
What an adventure! Makes you realise how beautifully Holland is set up with cycleways etc!
The bikes are retro cool, the bikes should be serviced especially the old racing bike as it's retro cool.
3:36 Coming from someone who has one of those… that is lovely!! (And yes, the saddle is indeed an absolute nutcracker 😂)
Guys you could have had a flat road all the way until the last 15kms. Instead half your route was through the dunes 😂
I have always wondered how our track legends would look like on a 'normal' bike haha, can't imagine anything but them breaking a bike every time they try to catch a green light or when they need to hurry with head wind. What a collab haha.
Jack's bike literally had all *the* gear
😂 Brilliant
Love Jeffrey! Such a humble guy
Cracking video and idea... BUT why didn't you also cycle back to AutoAlex HQ when back in England... Top Gear style as a race - that would make for some excellent content! :)
No way u guys biked past my hometown and even used the bikelane in the dunes were I always go for a run! (From Katwijk to Wassenaar). How cool is that! 😊 Hope u enjoyed the ride there, but since u use a timelaps for the entire stretch I think u did! Have a great day guys. Lovely vid again! ❤
Bet they were walking like John Wayne for days after this.
Love you lads, ace video again you pair of moochers x
Asking a track bike expert who sits on a razor blade saddle for an opinion for common cheap bike is like having a bacon sandwich without the bacon 😂😂😂
i really like the content guys, do what you enjoy doing in terms of thse challenges, and the community will vibe with you. i love it!
Always a pleasure to watch you two!
The bikes are reflections of your personalities
This is so good. You two are doing such cool stuff with the channel. I laughed out loud a bunch watching this.
Brilliants
17:37 hahahahaha did the edibles kick in?
I can’t get over how much Jack (?) looks like a young Alan Alda. Waiting for the MASH helicopter and theme tune!
