I am a cyclist and I live on the Pennines and this was fantastic GCN. The first thing I noticed was how much you two were smiling, grinning and laughing throughout the ride. Chapeau to both of you for taking on such a challenge in February. Them bikes definitely have a gap to fill in the market for sure.
We've had a GSD for the last 5 years and loved it. Watching this, I can just imagine all sorts of family adventures we could have. I love when great companies let great people just build cool stuff that they personally want to use. This looks mega!
once again Si and Hank impress with their irrepressible good humor and willingness to take on epic challenges. They made it look easy but I bet it wasn't, especially that 35% climb! And always take a table and chairs: advice to live - comfortably outdoors - by.
Good reminder that cycling doesn’t have to equate to suffering. Almost done with my conversion of a late 80s ATB into a touring/bike packing rig. It’s a different ride than my road bike, but no less fun. So long as I’m on a bike.
Tern never misses. I'm a very happy owner of their HSD (in addition to a regular touring bike), and the clever utility and sheer fun of it never cease to surprise me. This bike will bring that experience to many more people and use cases. Excellent video!
That shot of Si explaining the details of the bike while Hank's in the background eating is just peak comedy 🤣 Also figured it was a Finn that came up with this thing. Cause we do be have some narly winter weather that is just a big no no for anything "standard" 😏
it's basically e-bike version of a Surly Big Fat Dummy, although Surly discontinued the "fat" version and their e-bike version is based on their Big Dummy frame which is 29 × 3, though I wonder if it can fit 26 × 4.
How many bottles of wine were in there? Funniest line in the video was Hank, doing his best Rowley Birkin impression, asserting that he wouldn’t go anywhere without a table. Great video boys. Like the bikes as well.
I am ill in bed at the moment and your video has properly cheered me up. Those bikes look awesome, I would definitely have one of those! Great work guys.
I had no desire for an E bike before watching this, but now thinking how awesome it would be having my wife riding one as a support vehicle... I could go lighter and she could carry more than normal but have an easy/fun time while doing it.
You guys just bottled pure epic fun and passed it around to us. Cheers!! And kudos from a wimpy Canadian to uou tough Brits for bike camping in that “winter”. Toughest weather ever.
Absolutely loved this. Vids like this affirm the conviction that there's just something special about rides that aren't controlled by data-driven performance i.e. speed, aerodynamics, watts per kilo, FTP etc. Too often the data hype dominates cycling content and it's nice to take a mental break from it all and just watch Si and Hank riding the modern equivalent of pack mules and laughing themselves silly on the trails. Well done, Team Glampzors, this was a real joy to watch.
One of my favorite videos to date! This was a laugh riot from start to finish. There was plenty of informative information on the great bikes, the route, all the gear & food. I was sorry to see it end! Thanks to Si , Hank & the crew we could not see. I will want to re-watch this again many times over. Ride On Boys !!😎
It would be awesome if you release some like the GCN+ documentaries and adventures. That was one of the main reasons I signed up initially to GCN+. You could do in series like zwift academy or even release some of the GCN+ documentaries here.
Loved seeing you ride my local trails from Sheffield and into the Peaks. Looked like you had a lot of fun making that video. It was so good I watched it twice 👍
Great fun. Not all trips have to be about speed, KIM'S, segments, etc. Just out riding with your mates, having fun. Super video. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Weather is very like the UK.🌧 Cheers 🌞🚴♀️🌧🖖
Wow, that looked real fun - who would have thought of electric cargo bikepacking in February in the UK and camping! What else and where else could you go - it's got my adventurous brain cell working!!! I loved this - I missed GCN+...
Super fun! I need one of these bikes in my life. 186 mile range would make an epic bikepacking trip in the Rockies or a pleasant ride along the Oregon coast highway, with a stop in at Mo's for hot fresh clam chowder would be perfect.
We've got a GSD a few weeks ago and love it. Now, when Tern announced the Orox, my wife instantly wanted one of these, too. With this video, you are not making things better. :D I think we need to save up some money ... Awesome video, guys!
This was an epic video! It was odd for Hank to question whether a route was safe, but then went full Hank and sent it, as one would expect It was I missed opportunity though for Hank to bring his Gurkha knife to cut up that watermelon
Wow, what a fun trip. I live in Sheffield in Lodge Moor and you cycled on my gravel bike routes. Sadly I don't have a motor to help me but I am only propelling myself not all your kit! Great video lads and keep up the great content, loved this.
Mam Tor is known as the Shivering Mountain. it lies on the geological fault between the Dark Peak (gritstone) and the White Peak (limestone). Mam Tor shivered faster than they could repair the road. I remember going up it in the family Austin as a boy. Great adventure boys - please keep them coming!
The Katy trail. That would be my ride. It is a bucket list ride for me. I have to thank you for all your video's. I have been using them to try and come back from a very serious bout of Covid a couple of years ago. I have been struggling to get back to what I could do prior to that. Tonight I used this video to ride the longest ride I have made in many months. Thank you GCN. All of you are an inspiration to me.
Hi thanks for the comment and kind words. We are so pleased we are able to help anybody ride. It's stories like yours that really let us know we are doing a wonderful thing for our fans! ❤ride on!
Great video. The shot of Hank looking at the drop on the collapsed road and considering whether to 'send it'.....with a camping table and chairs on the bike...was a special moment... 😂
It was brilliant watching you guys having so much fun in what i consider to be my playground! (spent 40 years in GOC (Gods own City!)) Its been a while since i've done some of those roads but really you are spoilt for choice, you picked out a few classics there. And now i want one of them bikes too!
You absolutely can do it with the kids. We have a GSD and I take my two eldest kids camping on it all the time, with a Birley Flatbed hauling our gear. We're in North London and they're always asking to go to the Isle of Wight, which entails a ride into town, a train and a ferry. Proper adventures! Orox looks great, also looks more motorbike-sized than a GSD, which would prevent it fitting on a train, which is a shame as it looks like great fun.
Si and Hank thank you for a very entertaining video. I must remember to take my table and chairs next time I am out on the bike. Keep up the great work.
You guys have the best job in the world! Imagine getting to do this for work. So funny to watch, I was grinning all the way through but not as much as you were. Actually felt like I was out there with you. Fabulous.
I was sorta shocked that fervent outdoorsperson Dr. Bridgewood wasn't included in this adventure. Nice vid Siborg1 and Son-of-Hank's-Dad! I enjoyed this vid.
this is basically my approach the cycling and camping... the only difference is instead of a tent I would have a hammock, and would probably forgo the table and chairs 😂 for just an ultralight camp table, because the hammock is the best chair, and the table would only be to keep from dropping crumbs into the hammock
Love the Peak District for cycling, not quite bikepacking but rides from the campervan with like minded folk. Most of them have e-bikes and it's fun trying to keep up on my old hybrid. Those cargo bikes look awsome they would put a whole new angle on bikepacking without the van! One dissapointment, neither of you jumped those drops where the road had sheared!😆
Oh my word, this video is so awesome! Surprised Connor is not present on an epic bike packing video and no winter speech from Si.. still very awesome! And Hank talking 'bout Bear Grylls, collab soon maybe? 😊😊
This is so awesome! One of these days I'll have to proper save and grab one of these to go bikepacking with my kiddo. Fantastic video really enjoyed it, Si and Hank have the most charming chemistry together.
God, this looks so much fun. I used to like city trips much more than nature (among the lines of: what is there to see in nature), but over the years, stuff like this sounds much more fun. If I had the money to get myself a proper bike and all that stuff, I'd do it the moment I had a couple of days free.
I would never not bring chairs bikepacking, it just makes such a massive difference when hanging out by a fire at the campsite. The ultralight camping chairs you can buy now add very little weight and are really comfortable.
I reckon you can take these bikes anywhere. Massive fun this was to watch. Two mates out enjoying the crap weather on two wheels. What could be better? Seriously.
Brilliant video boys, the bikes are amazing but the price! WOW. With the bike industry being in such trouble because of the high price of bikes, you have to wonder how many people could actually afford to buy these Terns. That said the video was epic.
A bike co-op near me owns a small fleet of cargo bikes and rents them out for a very small fee. Makes occasional trips quite easy and affordable to manage.
Awesome stuff 😂 I remember watching a video by an American guy - I'll link it if I can find it - who built himself a little camper trailer for this fat E-Bike and the most crazy thing was him adding 2 or 3 additional 800Wh barriers on the trailer which meant he could go basically everywhere where he wanted.. granted recharging this monster took forever...
