3:02 "I'm pumping up my tire, it's personal!" - "I know, but it looks _epic_ !" 😂

The best use of "amateur" as an insult was a professor who was loudly yelling it at a photocopier machine that refused to do what he wanted.

"I'm pumping my tire, it's personal" latter half of this summer matt has always ruined it somehow

'Real men ride women!' Always a favourite of mine 😂

Matt, you were probably called a cheesehead because you were wearing the British championship jersey? Because that jersey looks like the flag of the Netherlands and in Belgium we often refer to them (the Dutch) as 'kaaskop' which literaly means 'Cheesehead'. He thought you were a Dutchman!

+John Duncan True here in the States. I did a really low key mountain bike race a while back and there was a group of about six "A" group riders racing in the "C" race. They were saying they wanted more training. When I got 11th out of 22 in my heat I considered it a top five. Full carbon MTB, shaved legs, team kit, in the "C" race = sandbaggers.

Finally! A whole video about me! ;¬)

Have to admit, I hadn't heard of most of these! Really enjoyed your story at the end, Matt. All these personal tales really bring the videos to life. Love hearing about all the teams personal racing memories.

My favourite was simply from a DH rider to a XC rider in a XC race. As the XC rider overtook him on the climb he just shouted "Cross Country Wanker!" just the irony and sillyness of it really got me.

I miss these videos... No slow-mo cuts. Just pure comedy....pure style..

"Cheesehead" at 4:44 in slo mo had me struggling not to spit out me porridge laughing. You've just taken GCN vids to a whole new, dare I say Epic, cinematic level. Thanks for the lunchtime laugh.

Ah, the half wheeler!! Exactly....a favorite tactic of my friend; AKA- "CEMENT HEAD!" DD

Genuinely funny!

now do them for MTB!!! These were hilarious!

Simon's celebration was great for sit on sprinter.

Oh I laughed all the way to the end of the video

I've recently added a new favorite to my lexicon of cycling insults. I took it from bodybuilder culture. "Do You Even Lift?" DYEL is an amazingly versatile insult so I have adapted it to cycling by swapping out the final word for appropriate terminology. Do You Even Ride? Do You Even Fast? Do You Even Climb? Do You Even Cargo? Hell, for that matter, Do You Even Lift? The applications are endless. Try it out yourself! But then again, Do You Even Ride?

Pretty sure that "cheese roll" had ham on it.

#11: Triathlete cyclist! hahah Oooohh! couldn't resist, hehe.

Aw crap I'm many of these things

I liked how in the end in an effort to get the turn wrong, Matt and Simon got it perfectly right...really a good pass :) ... Very "Pro Amateur" !!!!!

Love this video.. This one defiantly makes my top 10 :) Thanks for the channel!!!

Went all the way from the cycling cafe to the anchor!

Glass cranker...oh man, we have one of those in our area, when he is not a wheel sucker.

Hubbard is a good one, more useful than most of these, especially for strangers.

3:13 I actually cancelled my trip to Rhode Island because it was gonna rain all weekend!

Does anyone else use the term 'Pro' as an insult? Typically aimed at a cyclist who has all the latest kit but not a clue. Often said sarcastically as in "Look at him, even his balls are made of carbon and he is off the back, he is a real pro."

Last Sunday I was headed back home after a ride with my mates and happened to cross path with a fellow road biker adopting an aero stance on his tri bar clip ons when he merged to the road I was on at a cross junction. He was going like 25 or 26km/hr all the while in that aero stance. And not wanting to be an asshole rider, or passing a wrong insult message, I followed behind for a good 5 mins or so till we came to a traffic junction where I saw the best opportunity to overtake while he slowed down (traffic was safe to do so). Think he didn't like that, and sprinted to want to take lead. As he came up to me, I tried to give a friendly nod, but was completed ignored. And in that instance, I decided to deliver the best insult by continuing to hold onto the hood of my bar, pull as straight and 'relaxed' a face as I could (but dying inside), and powering up enough to drop him and continuing at the powered up speed for as long as I could, never once turning the head back. Hahaha. I think all riders should mount a small side mirror for this sake.

Nuff Nuff, Hubbard and Johnson are 3 terms used locally. They are often interchangeable, depending on how much of a "Johnson" the rider being i sulted is. Also, locally, a sandbager is someone who enters a race at an easy handicap for their ability.

I love Si. he is hilarious.

In this shelter in place era, I decided to give my bike a spring cleaning, not an accurate term, I ride year round and I keep my bike in shape all the time, and I was faced with the first hurdle: in pre covid-19 times, I would just go to the recycle bin of the building and pick up a couple of newspapers from the top, no I don't dare, how things change! will still do the cleaning, though.

I've heard many peeps shout Glass cranker at me. Well it was something that sounds similar anyway...

I have never ridden in a group ride in France, so don't know of "rateau", which is probably what the word was... It means a rake. Presumably, slowing you down if you have one behind you..

Plan-E aka Niki Beckmann Ye I don't get it either, because I use those long lycra cycling pants no matter what bike I'm on (got both a hardtrail one for offroad and in the city, and a roadie for whenever I feel like touring the Turku archipelago). If I'm going in the city or offroad, I'd just throw some shorts over and won't look like an idiot when being off the bike (in the city mostly, nobody cares in the forest).

You forgot Yuppie. You know, the guy who has a $7000 bike, pro kit, $200 shades, aero bars, and all the most expensive carbon bottle cages/ lightweight bar tape.... And then he hardly rides. And when he does, he's quite slow. Go back to your caviar and cocaine, Mr. Hotshot. One should also remember, "25 yard dash man." You know, the guy who is pretty sure he's better than you, so he hammers as hard as he can in a high gear just to pass you, then immediately drops in speed, causing you to either grab the brakes or swing out into the lane to overtake him... Just stay behind me, homie, 'cuz you ain't even fast.

"Mate, my tyre pressures are top secret proprietary data, bugger off!"

I am guilty of sucking wheel. I want to be out front, but my buddies are all WAY faster than I am. I try but when I get up front, I can't keep up the 27+mph pace they want to ride and quickly get swallowed up. They don't mind, but I do. I guess the only way to get there is to keep trying.

Always celebrate like that when i pass commuters omw to work. I see nothing wrong with that?
