Is Cycling Attractive? | GCN Show Ep. 622
 🎥 Find the show and watch it on YouTube: GCN Show Ep. 622
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! 🚴♂️😂
