This is my selection of the best cycling YouTube channels worth subscribing to. Their topics include cycling inspiration, bike maintenance, race analysis, entertainment, tips, guides, and more.
If you want to learn a thing or two (or three) about cycling, I am sure you will find these channels valuable.
Let’s find out if you know some of them already and which ones you already subscribe to!
What Are the Best Cycling YouTube Channels?
Below are my favorite cycling content creators on YouTube.
Lanterne Rouge (The Best Race Analysis Channel)
I often hear that road cycling is boring. Compared to cyclocross or cross-country, there is often much less action. However, Laterne Rouge provides the best analyses of pro races in an easy-to-understand way that takes cycling to a new level.
You will understand the team strategies and how riders adapt to a given race situation and gain valuable insights.
VC Adventures (The Best Story Telling Cycling Channel)
You don’t have to be vegan to watch VC Adventures (formerly known as Vegan Cyclist). He started with cycling tips/lifestyle videos, but now does more storytelling and adventure-style videos.
Tyler (VC) has a great sense of humor and is also a great storyteller. His videos are getting better month by month, and he also produces documentaries like The World’s Hardest Climb, which is one of my favorites.
The ‘Impossible Route’ series is one of the best cycling-related series I have ever seen. But I also enjoy it when Tyler takes us to a race he attended.
The Col Collective (The Best Road Cycling Inspiration Channel)
If you lack inspiration for what cycling destination or climb to conquer next, The Col Collective is the cycling YouTube channel to watch.
Mike Cotty, The Col Collective’s host, will guide you through the individual routes in a way that will make you feel like you are there with him.
I envy Mike because he has climbed the most breathtaking climbs in the world, a feat that very few people are lucky enough to achieve.
Chris Miller Cycling (The Best Cycling Podcast)
The NERO Show by Jesse Coyle and Chris Miller is my favorite cycling podcast. I don’t know how they do it, but they mostly talk about topics I am interested in.
They also sometimes invite interesting guests and experts from the cycling industry, so you learn something or two after listening to an episode.
NorCal Cycling (The Best Crit Races Analysis Channel)
The NorCal cycling channel has become one of the go-to places for racers and more serious road cycling enthusiasts.
Jeff, the man behind this channel, explains what is happening during criterium races based on onboard footage.
Suppose you want to get better at positioning, cornering, etc. Then, I highly recommend watching a few of his analyses.
One of my favorite Jeff’s quotes is: “Consistency is efficiency.”
Tour de Tietema (The Best Cycling Entertainment Channel)
Tour de Tietema is a Dutch YouTube channel owned by a few cycling enthusiasts and former pro rider Bas Tietema. Don’t worry. They add English subtitles to most of their videos.
Meeting and talking with pro riders like Primož Roglič is not rare for them. They will introduce you to pro cycling and what is happening around it at an entertaining level.
They travel to the biggest road races like the Tour de France and challenge riders (or each other) to do challenges like the wheelie challenge below. I even met them on the Tour de France 2023, when they shot the wheelie challenge after the ITT. Can you spot me in the following video?
One more thing: They also started a pro continental team called TDT-Unibet.
Dylan Johnson (The Best Science-Based Training Channel)
Do you appreciate science-based and well-researched training tips? Then, you must subscribe to Dylan Johnson’s YouTube channel.
Dylan is a cycling coach who is not afraid to research and find evidence of what works and what doesn’t.
From my experience, I know that going through hundreds of scientific papers is no fun. So, hats off to Dylan. He does the work for you and summarizes it in his videos.
Cyclists Hub (The Best Cycling YT Channel You Probably Never Heard About :-P)
This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning my channel. I mostly publish in-depth reviews and reports from events I attend, such as the Eurobike fair.
Before starting this channel, I had no idea that one video would take me 20 hours or more. Therefore, I will be glad for every subscriber and viewer.
Cam Nicholls (The Best Bike Fitting Series Channel)
Cam Nicholls is an avid cyclist with plenty of experience. He is also genuine and tries to create quality, honest, and unbiased reviews and content.
His channel is not only about reviews, though. For example, the bike fitting series he did with a professional bike fitter, Neill Stanbury, is very helpful.
I watched every episode of this series and learned a lot about bike fitting, how the body works, and more.
Park Tool (The Best Bike Maintenance Channel)
For those of you who are bike maintenance newbies, I recommend watching Park Tool’s YouTube channel.
They explain how to take care of your bike, maintain it, etc. So, if you don’t know how to adjust a rear derailleur, for example, watch their tutorial, and you won’t have to spend money on bike maintenance anymore.
Naturally, their channel should support the sales of their products. They are high quality but relatively expensive, so keep that in mind.
Summary
I hope you find value in any of these YouTube channels. These ones are the ones I watch and find the most helpful.
