ROFL, I DID PASS U HAHAHAHA
I think Simon is just about the scruffiest guy I watch on any YouTube channel ๐
Rรธgeriet i Hvide Sande you went to is owned by germans. A nice store i usually visit as well. But if you want your beloved fish and chips in Hvide Sande (White Sands) it is not the place to go ๐โฆ thank you so much for the kind Way you make Denmark presented in this gorgeus film.
Why were you the only cyclists in Denmark wearing Lycra. ๐๐๐
beautiful, thank you
360 days of the year either rains or the wind blows ๐ luckily you got the good weather ๐
I live here, and I still ended up wanting to go to this magic place, the way you presented it ๐
Fantastic film! Makes me jealous!
You should definitely intermingle more โslowโ cycling features in amongst the challenges, they convey even more of the pleasures and benefits of cycling and obviate the need for super performance aero bikes. Really enjoyable and relaxing which everyone needs.
What time of the year did you visit Denmark ?
Suggestion for next time: the Faroe Islands.
Nice to see GCN in my home country โค. Maybe you should have consulted a Dane, for the pronunciation of cities and places, before coming here. Loved how you nailed Silkeborg, the second time around ๐, but Blรฅvandshuk ๐ฑ, not sure I would have understood what you meant/where you wanted to go, if you had asked me for directions. But like at the first coffee shop, with the โkanelsnegleโ, we Daneโs are very willing to teach you our language (or at least some of it).
Danmark har hermed overtaget kommentarsporet. Der uddeles hermed leverpostej og klaphatte til alle danske vikinger!
Kamelรฅsรฅ!
GCN is on one they days lol! What an era to be a GCN fan. ๐ช๐ผ
14:26 is this testing Ollieโs pH scale in practice?!
Iโve only been to Denmark once before, and Iโm definitely going back after watching this video. Superb stuff, GCN!
LOL! โSport Modeโ for the awesome Crocs!
Ah fantastic video as always. The editing and music choices are just phenomenal. And I really enjoy Siโs and Ollieโs banter.
How did you plan that?
The predominant wind direction is headwind, you didnโt get that.
Rain. How did you get blue skies?
Otherwise you are right cycling in Denmark is good but flat.
I stopped watching when it became a restaurant guide, especially after the grated lambs heart scene. The glorification of meat isn't nice in my opinion, if an animal has to give up its life so you can have a momentary pleasure I think it deserves better respect.
Awesome dudes … One of your best videos
Nice to se some nice places in my country ๐ Funny to hear your pronunciations ๐
This is what we want to see! More short trips like this in random places!
You were so lucky with the weather, it made the whole trip look magical. You definitely don't need to batter yourselves to make interesting content!
Very enjoyable and well executed video!
Usally u can take the flight to Denmark or from UK, for 10 Pounds + luggage. Most places we have the ''Supercykelsti'' Which is 100km + of bike lanes between the bigger city's so u can travel by bike instead of car. Instead of going to jylland, also called ''rotten banana'' – U can visit nordsjรฆlland to helsingรธr, gilleje etc. Will take u about 2 hours from copenhagen and u can see almsot the same. Anywhere but Jylland!
1:24) I live in the northern Spanish Cantabrian mountains, but I have an apartment 1 km from these Cactus buildings. I am actually here in Copenhagen right now for Christmas. Denmark is so nice and flat compared to Spain where I live. Therefore I am considering to buy an electric. I would never consider this if I lived in Denmark. Both Spain and Denmark is great for cycling, but for different reasons. ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ช๐ธ
