any good bike shows on TV?
Its crazy when you think the only good show we have is Top Gear, fifth gear is okay and sometimes has bikes on it.....but why is there is not a top gear for bikes? I though about this a while ago, what would make a good bike show. I pitched an idea a few years back for a documentary film but they didn't want me producing a film. I know it was good enough casue someone stole my idea almost word for word but I never saw the end result (nothing came of I think) What you want to see in a bike to make you sit down for an 60/30 minutes and enjoy it. It would be a lot better than reality tv crap that seems be on all the dam time like I'm a fat pie, I'm too lazy and thick to clean my house. Just a thought but I really think there is a big enough to watch a show on bikes and hopefully get more people into bikes as well! Which is only a good thing ![]() Over to you lot ![]() |

You should just go and make one - I am sure lots of peeps would be interested in watching it. If I had the know how I would - even if it was just on cable or even youtoob.

I don't think it'd work, top gear is successful because its amusing, but the brainless mulch wants reality TV and soaps. Hence I doubt a bike show would make mainstream TV. Maybe Men and motors or some other channel, but there just isn't enough of us to get one going.
It would be great to have some good bike and gear reviews on, racing results and highlights, biggest feckin eejit competition etc. Chris

I really think there is an opening for a show, but err not totally sure where it would fit in.....I think something like BBC2 would be a good platform since we all pay for it in the first place and has similar shows on it....
It should be on main stream TV so more people can watch it, not everyone has sky, I hae never had it...yer your right about soaps! Sat eating breakfast at work and You are what you eat came just as we tucked in awesome food, not what I wanted see ![]() |

Can i present it??!!
I think there is room in the market for a bike show, yeah top gear is awsum and funny but there is nothing to say that your show couldn't be just as entertaining but centred abround bikes. Plus with a girl presenter... |

Getting closer to men and motors here, will you do it in a skimpy outfit?
