Cycling might be one of the most watched sports globally, but how does it fare as a hobby in the eyes of the public? 🤔
Surprisingly, surveys suggest that cycling doesn’t even crack the top 15 most attractive hobbies. Naturally, this sparked a bit of debate at GCN Megabase, so we sent Hank out for an “independent” public survey to settle it once and for all.
Let’s just say… it didn’t quite go to plan! 🚴♂️😂

Do you think cycling is an attractive hobby?🚴👀
Whoever introduced Hank to maryjane, should have told him how long the effect lasts 😉
Don't comment very often but that Guy losing his bike and cherished possessions by some idiot stealing them just makes me so angry. Living in Eastbourne which is close to Brighton I will be keeping my eyes open for it
I asked my wife if she thinks cyclists are sexy. She laughed. Joke's on her, she's stuck with me
Hank get wrong photo. next time take Simon with spedos photo.
Meh. Who cares if they don't think it's attractive. I promise you, they like the physical results!
My photo caption: let me show you how to subscribe to gcn on your wahoo?
Genuinely one of the most shocking videos I've ever watched!
a) Cyclists in Lycra are not seen as attractive, in Bath at least
b) Cyclists, including Mark Cavendish and Tadej Pogačar, aren't included in the BBC Sports Personaility nominations!
The world has gone mad
(Ed: shurely shome mishtake)
Would that be a top secret Zwift Academy finals mission? O_o
Insert the clip of Homer and Milhouse's dad:
"I argue with strangers online for fun. Do you?"
"No…I sleep on a big Canyon Aeroad with my wife."
Is cycling attractive? The BIKES are attractive!
Bloopers are a must
Kamil's hack is indeed genius!
The more I eat the more aero I am…… The less attractive I probably become……… Aero gains or vanity……. Aero everyday baby!!!!!!……… Think of a wing profile, air has to speed up over a curved surface so I generate low pressure on my flatter surface……. I make lift/downforce…… So the more pies I eat the more curved my wing profile is…. But more drag……. I'll ask santa for a electric carving knife.
Cycling is a hairstyle. And now I wear shorts over lycra as don't wanna pretend to be a racer anymore. Going more gravel styley shhizzle.
Sending Handsome Hank out to ask was cheating a little bit, wasn't it?
Are chiseled legs attractive? I thought so!
Are puny arms attractive?
audio issues sorted – well done!!! :0)
Wait, hank is in this video? Doesn't he have a rich toy to look after? A manor.
I think if you showed a picture of an Mtb downhiller or enduro racer it would of been a far more positive response 😂#mtb=sexy 😂
tate should not be mentioned alongside peterson and rogan. hes a leader of the cult of tomorrows rapists. peterson and rogan are sources of wisdom.
You need to wear PNS drip bro.
Caption Competition:
"This website has the correct pronunciation of our team name!"
"Bro… that's the list of Harry Potter spells. The coffee table is levitating"
Women’s honest answer: depends how rich he is.
11:50…… bikling?
Encountering MAMIL's moose knuckle at your local coffee shop isn't the most positive experience
I think Hank has been working too hard on the mansion.😂
The colango looks like the kestrel from years ago
Watching this on a spin bike at the gym and seeing all these weight lifting/grunting blokes. Good to know I'm more attractive than them. Although my wife does say bib shorts without the jersey isn't very attractive 😮
Only today I was wondering what's happened to Manon Lloyd, and then this. Oops…
Hang on ppl.
The question “is cycling an attractive hobby” is being mis read me thinks.
Is the sport attractive to females as in would you do it not are male cyclists attractive
Bloody men lol
My girlfriend thinks I look sexy in my Rapha kit!
i feel hot af in lycra
Vote for Hank to go bike packing with Francis Cade!
They broke my car and stole my trek madone project one that my wife gave to me for an anniversary present! This happened on my birthday!! And I was park next to a police car when they did it. The SGT however request to take on the case! It was his patrol car that I park next to. One of the worst birthday ever for me! Happened back in October of this year! Had this bike for five years. And didn’t plan on selling it, because of the sentimental value. Yes I would have bought other bikes, but that one I had plan on keeping forever!
So i know how this fellow cyclist is feeling!! This is ridiculous!!!
Here in the USA, cycling attire is looked at as "dorky" by a large percentage.
Steel frame (Italian especially) track bicycles will always be waaaaay more attractive than modern bikes. The beautiful frames with the sleek simplicity of no gears and brakes is so aesthetically pleasing.
Women aren't attracted to men with hobbies in general, to most women men should be working during the time a hobby takes up, unless the hobbies help them make money, or gain power connections and status, women want men who their female friends approve of and are also attracted to, they don't ask what he does for fun, but what he does for money, because that's what they care about.
re: darts. If they serve beer to the audience: sport. If they serve beer to the participants: not a sport.
What about me riding to my DnD game – super sexy I must say
wtf is "PlayingSports"?
#Caption: "What are you reading on your phone" "I'm reading about some crazy bloke who has been making money by selling extended bike warranties"
Cycling is like swimming. In no way a sexy sport, but those who swim and cycle have great bodies and high endurance, which gets you laid….😜
You should try it again with a picture of women cyclists! 😉
You can’t tell me that cycling around the Sella Ronda and stopping for a cold one atop the Gardena isn’t attractive!
Surely everyone loves 'Lord Hank'.😉
Cade Media said they’d love to do a road trip with GCN (mentioned Hank specifically). You’ve got to do it – it’d be brilliant! It’d be like a Marvel/DC crossover!
No.
MAMILs aren’t attractive, but MAWILs are, so there’s that, plus cycling is FUN
And that’s good enough
#captioncompetition: “Hey look.., that goofy American is still trying to win a water bottle.”
“Looks like more disappointment for him this week.”
Women cycling are pretty hot tbh.
