The books with all the cycling history! Bikes and jerseys are cool, but to be able to see what people were reading in the papers and on advertisements from posters. Just cool. You guys should do a video on a place called Bicycle Heaven in Pittsburgh, USA. An amazing place showcasing almost everybody's childhood bicycle and even my Dad's first race bike. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaaTrpKwhayTc8o.html durangoherald.com/articles/25939

Chapeau. I first thought it was Pantani, and thought the strap was just artistic effect in the picture but in fact it is a strap.

Jon, the rider depicted on the wall is Fiorenzo Magni, he broke his shoulder/clavicule in the 1956 Giro d'Italia, but carried on! He used a piece of tube to support himself. He still finished 2nd!

Well... JC is really out doing himself these days, outstanding video and the finest advert for the museum anyone could ask for. Palinesque quality. Favourite part was watching JC's little happy face as he fondled the old pants and naked lady figurine. And Pantani - but keep your elbow grease to yourself.

The joy of watching Jon like a kid in a candy store😉

Jon, thank you for taking us on a video trip to that awesome cycling museum in Belgium. If I visited it I'd easily be able to stay there for weeks trying to examine everything in detail. I too would feel like a kid on Christmas morning and did so while watching you walk around there. Cycling isn't just my favorite sport but a passion and lifestyle for me. I wouldn't get much done if I worked at that museum.

Absolute goosebumps! I have to visit that place. The whole tour is a favorite!! I started riding roadbikes in 1980 and got multiple flashbacks...thank you sooo much. Nowadays I'm a bicycle mechanik for over 25 years and can't imagine doing something else. Again thank you...

Holy moly. That place is a dream. Brutal. Best video in a while, man.

Mind blowing and what a tribute to past riders! the storage room I though was going to be a cupboard!!

Wow, just wow! What an amazing place. I think that I would be like Jon and just end up spending hours looking around the museum. Definitely somewhere that you could come back and probably spend days just looking at everything. I think that the jerseys and the bikes would definitely be of huge interest to me but I got to say that trophy room is really something special as well. You don't tend to see the different trophies up close and personal all that often and so its a bit of a treat to get to compare from the different races. Think that Dan Lloyd would have loved to have won the Amstel Gold race along with the Vuelta... beer ahoy! Did think that Jon was going to go into a total coma of joy when he was taken into the storage room! I don't think that anyone else from the GCN team would have really shown the childlike glee at it all which is very infectious! Thanks Jon and thank you GCN! Great video!

Thanks for the comment. That storage room was incredible. I wanted to check out so much more. Sadly ran out of time.

Amazing. Next time I am in that part of the world I will go!!!! Jon is an incredible presenter. Hard to ever see someone so hapoy as he was making this.

Thank you, Jon, for that tour and a big thank you, too, to the people who gather and display all that memorabilia. And my favorite bit would be the posters--posters and jerseys. And how cool would it be to have you present regular features and history lessons about those? And you could read from Richard's Bicycle Book and from some of your favorites and it would all be such a blast from the past. And they'd probably give you a corner office, too, something up in the attic--no wait, that might be too distracting.

Lovely !

I’ve been to Koers and it’s really an unforgettable experience. Besides the worlds greatest cycling museum it’s a hub for cyclists. Great food and people!

My favorite part is watching John in his proverbial "candy store". I thought he was going to have an "accident" roaming through the museum. Was there any info on our American brother, Major Taylor? Also, I once heard it said that Atala bikes were made by Italian prisoners in Italian penitentiarys. Any truth in that? All of this is another good reason to go to the Spring Classics.

Major Taylor is not visible in the permanent presentation, but we have pictures/postcards and books about the legendary biker of the US.

Yes I can imagine there was a difference. I still remember David Dufields high pinch voice "He lost it!" about Fignon

wonderful!

Oh My Froomey! That is so cool and awesome! I like it!

My favourite part of the tour was how hyped Jon was the whole time!!

The next time anyone needs an explanation of the term "geek out" I'll simply point them to this video :) I think I'll have to watch this about 10 times myself.

I’d love to see a tour of your personal cycling library. That would be really great to see.

The Sealink jersey was most likely from the Sealink International race (www.cyclingarchives.com/wedstrijdfiche.php?wedstrijdid=9470) which did start on the Isle of Wight in 1983 but also went to North Sea coastal areas in Belgium and France as well as up to Yorkshire, Manchester and Holyhead.

I bet John would love to make it his home. I surely would!

That is an epic place! The bike riders Mekka!

I live near the museum, and I must say: It has really improved since 3 years ago. Back than, it was a museum about cycling in general. You could see the evolution of the bike in real life, but than they moved it to a church (temporary) about 100m further so they could build this. It's really wonderful!

Great video! What music is in the background? You guys always pick good tunes!

Jon, you need to donate a GCN shirt with all your autographs on! Oh by the way, is there a shelf in the archive for Mr. Stephens?🤔

All of it👍

Chris Froome looking at his stem. BTW, as if Jon wasn't hyper enough, I had the playback speed set to 1.25 from the last video and he seemed like an giddy hyper squirrel during the intro.

Fiorenzo Magni 'biting down on' an inner tube attached to his bars to finish the giro with a broken collarbone. Overall he still finished 2nd.

They’ve always got a flight to catch, just chillax and book it with enough time to spare!

The engraved rider is Marco Pantani for sure, his riding style and climbing up the hills was this

Great video Jon. To answer your question about UK roads named after cyclists, there’s Hugh Porter Way in Wolverhampton.

Awesome vid again, my money is Pantani

Sealink also used to operate between Dover and Calais in the 1970s to 1990s

We have Major Taylor Boulevard here in Worcester, Massachusetts - Taylor's hometown.

Harrogate has the beryl Burton way, great way to get through to Knaresborough :)

Hell yeah, i live 5 mins away! Def worth a visit! Btw its not JP monseir, its monseree ;)

2:48 definitely Matt Stephens ;) we miss you Matt on GCN

The mystery outline drawing is Sean Kelly.

The guy on the door is Simon from that one video with the Chinese hyperbike where he eats the rainbow candy out of the inigrated toptube pouch

obviously he is The Pirate, Marco Pantani.
