The Atlantic ocean Road in Norway. Google it!
Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada must be on your list !
Antrim Coast Road?
Missing kattlegatleden in Sweden
Corsica. All of it.
San Leonardo to Timmelsjoch (Passo del Rombo), northern Italy.
The isle of wight, especially the view from the top of Blackgang down the military road.
GCN i wish you see that comment cause I dream a bike like that but my money its not enough because I'm only student, I wish someday I have a bike like any road bike type.
Living in Sweden I am 'relatively' close to Norway's east coast… except it's not east but rather west coast 🤣
CANADA – the Sea to Sky from Vancouver to Whistler (~125 km, with an awesome fondo in September) AND Lake Louise
to Jasper National Park (~200Km)
Hey, you forgot the Alps, Pyrenees, Dolomites, Jura, Black Forest, Moselle, Canaries, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Australia, all of the best rides in North America, all of South America, Australia, Africa and mainland Asia.
But the bit of road near Conor's house is really nice?
You missed the whole south hemisphere
Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park, Montana.
Lake Tahoe loop in California / Nevada, 72 miles and 4k climbing, do it clockwise to get a great view of the lake. Elevation is 6.2k, so get acclimated a few days before you try…
What about Genting Sempah
Sorry tae say it chief but it's pronounced "bilack na ba
ANYWHERE.. I can ride my bike without seeing masked Muppets!!!
Nacional 2 in Portugal – 739 km crossing portugal north to south
i love the spots..thanks man
Bolinas-Fairfax Road in Marin California
Because it includes so many of the famous Tour de France cols, the coast-to-coast RN-618 (Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Argelès-sur-Mer), about 525 km, as well as the scenery, deserves a shout.
Naran to Chilas over the Babusar Pass is on my bucket list. Nearly 14,000 ft at the top of the pass.
Cape Town!
Cape Town chapmans peak????
Come on guys, nothing in Africa or many other parts of the world… Try the stretch of road from Musanze to Rubavu in Rwanda – you get a view of 5 epic volcanoes and finish at the shores of Lake Kivu.
The road biking around the town of Hood River is epic. Lots of climbing, quiet roads through the fruit orchards and wineries and after a good ride, the windsurfing or kiting is incredible. And if that is not enough the Mtn biking, kayaking and year round skiing is fantastic as well.
Going to the Sun Road , MT USA
Hokkaido is a must-cycle!
Can you please show some beautiful rides without climbing? Not every cyclist like to climb you know
will it fit someone 5'4
Very good informative and inspirational video review….!
Another place that I would love to see you guys feature is the Bay Of Kotor in Montenegro which is mostly flat but a sublime panoramic road. If you want to climb all you have to to is head inland as some dramatic mountains plunge directly into the bay. It is stunning with some amazing climbs and of course… descents.
It really works well.
I just barely started getting into biking. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA I had a road bike I've been riding a while but wanted to get a read road bike that I could use to go long distances on the river trails near me. I'm 6'2 and about 240 lbs, the bike fits me well and seems to hold my weight easily as well. I've just recently done a 40 mile trip and everything went well. I inflate the tires past the 90 recommended on the side wall. About 110 just so the tires aren't depressing at all when I sit on it. I of course changed the seat out since I'm not used to the narrow ones just yet. Overall great bike and I'm very happy with it!
You forgot to include Highway 1/ Cabrillo highway in California from Cambria to Carmel-by-the-Sea
