Nope he's a Scouser!

Don’t be mistaken,
Don’t be misled,
He's not a ----in Scouser.
He's from Birkenhead,

Err,Anfield in fact!

And he does ride a bike!

Terrible at reading signs, though that can lead to some entertaining detours.

I've watched these and had many a chuckle.
I saw one where he was cycling past the legal centre of London and he remarked on the cost of court cases. He said he was sued for libel and that it would have been cheaper to have stabbed the (very rude word).
The sound of his breathing is a bit alarming and his attitude to red lights cavalier.

Think the person who said Lithuania was correct.His bike video on you tube are good .I like and want to do the Hampstead rides and Convent garden.
How do the people in Hampstead afford the houses they r just so so big? do look nice.

Donkeys years ago, very early 80s IIRC, he used to perform at a club near where I live in Milton Keynes, so during lockdown he made one of his bike ride videos revisiting the city. It’s quite amusing, but he managed to pick a dreadful damp day, nobody about, and to choose a truly useless route, and get lost, so it’s not one of his greats!

yep I watched a few in semi lockdown - what I liked about them was that he is clearly a recreational cyclist/just likes getting out on his bike - not trying to win anything or impress anyone.
Fellow lover of riding round London here - and was a joy to be a cyclist in London during lockdown for sure.
We won't see those days again - hopefully.
