If you're in St Petersburg and happen to total your Pinarello.

In the absence of a local teenager on his way to work on a brand new Merida here's where
you can hire one....

Of course the TV crew wouldn't have done that.....

Hammond stacking was the first time I have laughed at Top Gear since 2004.

Why laugh? Bit of a numpty though not avouding the tram tracks.

Was it just me or did anybody else think the saddle was too low on ths borrowed bike? I reckon that contributed to not winning the race.

Hammond is known to be a regular cyclist, especially in cities. He should know how to cross tram tracks. I reckon he did it on purpose.

Re: Re:

There are few cities in the UK with trams. Thank goodness!

.. but there are quite a few that used to have trams and still have tracks !

Why laugh?

Schadenfreude.

I watched it online after reading this thread (gave up on TG a couple of years ago now), wasn't funny IMO.

Typing /drive into youtube brings up some real car videos.

Real car videos? I think you miss the point somewhat.

Re:

Any Top Gear thread leads to people stating that they don't watch it anymore.

Not really sure why!
