Chain Gang vids now on YouTube
In 1994 I was the (young, fresh-faced) presenter of ‘Chain Gang’, a six part magazine programme on cycling by Tyne Tees.
I’ve been given permission to re-broadcast some of the best bits from this series. They are billed as ‘From the archive’ and the series is brought to you in association with Muc-Off.
The higher res versions went on iTunes last week. Here are the YouTube versions. Click on ‘play in higher quality’ for the best playback performance.
I won’t embed all the videos here as it would take up an awful lot of space. But here’s one of them: a bicycle tour in Malawi.
The other videos are:
Jason McRoy and the Reebok Eliminator, Mammoth Mountain 1993
Behind the scenes on ‘Chain Gang’
Bike v car commuter challenge
(Trivia: the car park at the start of this extract is the famous one featured in Michael Caine’s classic 1960’s gangster flick, ‘Get Carter’).
Wax or shave?
Mass v custom build, Raleigh v Dave Yates
If you like these sort of things, here’s a YouTube player with all the vids in place:
