Montenegro, like Switzerland, it's basically country in mountains
Dream to visit all of this 😇😊
Thailand. Beautiful.
why do we don't have India in it, you have all kind of roads that you can't even dream of !!
8:20 anybody knows the name of the place ??
Ride in north korea.
I was in NZ 2019 I'd 100% recommend it for the amazing views and decent road. If you pass the mountains in the south island prepare to get your pulse up
No JAPAN?? Should be more specific with United States, LA area is good for biking, Chicago generally no because of the weather but good for a day.
Too much bias to road riding, New Zealand has many MTB options as well.
Ah man you missed Japan. Tokyo sucks but the mountains and country roads are amazing.
So the Netherlands are here, but Denmark isn’t? Come on man.
The best cycling Paradise=Mallorca!
Im from dead center of the USA. Ive rode all over SE Asia and all over the USA. No way in this world should USA be on the top 10. Not in Bidens wildest dreams. (That dude has some wild dreams)
I'm Belgian, most of my friends do have a road racing bike at home
Germany
While i agree, partly, with this list, I don't think it was taken into account one of the most important things for cyclist, how careful car drivers are of cyclists. In this respect I can say that France and Spain rank right up there but not Italy and the US. In Spain, for example most often cars and even trucks put the blinker on and go right into the opposite lane to pass you, even if they have to follow you and wait quite a while before doing it. It is a great feeling of safety.
Ireland
Wish more of your viewers had been to South Korea. Longest bike trail in the world, super safe, cheap food/lodging along the way…check it out!
Where is Germany in this list?
Netherlands should be on number 1
I am not surprised with how Eurocentric this list is, given GCN's audience is based in Europe. I agree all these places are very lovely. Can we get a list of places outside of Europe? No country from Asia, or South America made it. I would place Japan at the top. Riding around Mt Fuji, the streets of Tokyo, or bikepacking the span of the entire country are all incredible adventures to land Japan a spot as a top country to ride your bike. And I would venture to say, there are many other slept on places in this world we as an audience would like to discover.
I'd love to ride the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix one of these days.
and Colombia?
Latin America here???? Im not agree with that top
You haven't visit Chiang Mai Thailand… that's why
Yeah bro France is great, but hotels are expensive
Here is million biker and bmx rider🇵ðŸ‡
What about Norway?!
What a joke.
This place is great for cycling because they have roads there!
Oh, but this other place is even better because the roads they have are NOT level!
I have to hand it to you guys, you managed to read your script without laughing about how stupid it is.
Riiiivers. Merry Christmas 🎄
Your list seems biased toward pro cycling or amateur' racing. While exciting, racing has little to do with most cyclists the world over. I imagine that the majority of avid cyclists, are most interested in a safe, scenic place to ride. If that was your criteria ,I'm certain. your list would have been quite different.
This review like no other cycling county but for European. White people only ride bicycle and do cycling activities.. Funny. GCN should be more open. Better go down under. Some country in gulf, middle east and Asia provides better designated place or route for Cycling activities.
Nice list! Norway will remain the hidden gem for a few more years hopefully. Breathtakingly beautiful and many remote areas where you have the road for yourself.
Netherlands need to go in number 1
Surprised to see Australia
Especially Sydney which is very dangerous due to motorists – bad drivers
Out in the country it’s great- away from the cities
