You Tube bike review bloggers, who do you follow?

There's certainly plenty to choose from, some are excellent and some less so.
I follow among others:-
Stuart Fillingham (A bit up his own arse)
The Bingley Wheeler
Mr Darcy and the old man
The Cornish motorcycle diaries
Freddie Dobbs
The Missenden Flyer etc,
My favourite is Mark Pulling, he has over 500 reviews up, is straight to the point, without any faff. If you delve into some of his earlier stuff, he also features Para gliding, Hang gliding, and even a few Air Rifles.

Not that many, by and large I think we're a boring group.
Freddie Dobbs - his road trips are great, his lifestyle content can FO
Usernamekate - love the variety and useful to know if I can touch the floor on a bike because I also have little legs
Bikeworld - Chris Northover!
NathanThePostman
Brake Magazine
I follow a few others but I think its time I unsubsribe because haven't watched their content for a while. 44t got the axe when Al left, but I still follow BVG

Fortnine - Canadian Ryan is a fountain of knowledge and the channel covers more than just riding bikes.
44 teeth - used to be brilliant, not so much now, especially since Al has left and there's little of Boothy.
MCN - Neevesy does pretty good reviews on latest bikes
Bikeworld- Chris Northover knows how to ride and gives brilliant reviews and often pairs up with other channels for bike races etc.
Marc Travels - German guy who basically toured the world on a electric bike
Others have already named some other popular channels above

Itchyboots for the global travel content. Nobody does it better imho, although she has become ever so slightly clickbaity in recent times imho.
For London commuting content, I've just discovered PinnacleMoto. A smaller channel that only really focuses on commuting runs into London, but as a London commuter myself I'm always looking to learn new things and see how others do it.
Also like Doodle; especially her recent series on safety gear. And Bennetts Bike Social for more consumer grade content; especially their safety gear stuff and the 'What Bike Next?' series. Yes, I realise I clearly have too much time on my hands!

For me it s:
Freddie Dobbs - eternally optimistic. Consistently hopeless. But he knows it.
Bikeworld - Chris Northover is good. I like the project series. Now with Fagan, who is better for it.
44T. Given up. I like a d!ck joke but it got overplayed. See above.
NathanThePostman. I was going to have a day with him but had to cancel. Gutted. Shows you can do almost all UK riding on a good value, small capacity bike.
Tim Rodie. Good watch. Like the war stuff.

For kit reviews Bennetts, I really like the approach and delivery of John Millbanks. I also like the riding advice series with the Ulsterman in Oz, again a good approach and delivery. Not a fan of Simon Hargreaves and I'm not overly excited by the bike reviews, I think they read better than they watch
Some of the latest reviewers on MCN are a bit pants, I watched the middleweight adventure bike recently and felt it quite contrived. The middleweight sportsbike test Al Fagan did was a bit dull and repetitive. I've never thought Neevesy was amazing but MCN is a shadow of itself without him
So for bike reviews I'll check out Neevesy
. Chris Northover. I like Lamb Chops Rides because he comes at it from an old hooligan-ish angle and I like our Tim (Roadie rides bikes) because he's a more thinking man's, sensible silly motorbike type person; both do really well put together content and I've enjoyed both of their recent touring videos.
Outside of reviews I was saddened when Robert Baldinger stopped touring with the rest of the crazy Swedes, but his recent video in Pakistan was excellent. MotoVibes does some great stuff, but both he and RichyVida are a bit repetitive. Saffy Sprocket is entertaining at times.
Bevelhead is another PH'er worth following if you like chilled workshop vids

44Teeth - Was my favourite by far, but gone downhill in recent months
Bikeworld - I'm a massive fan of Chris Northover, I'll watch anything by him even if he's on a bike I don't care about - his enthusiasm and positivity is contageous
Bennets - I like the 'what bike next' feature and a few other bits
MCN - Good for reviews
Fast Bikes - Same as above
Baron Von Grumble - Chris from 44Teeth, followed from the early days of him moaning his way around London.
Lamb Chops Rides - Very likeable guy and find his stuff really watchable
ThatGirlBiker - Only really because she's fairly local to me, more background watching when I'm working from home in all honesty
Tim Rodie - LIkeable, but I don't really go searching for his stuff. If it pops up on my feed and I've time to kill I'll give it a watch
Missenden Flyer - Same as above really
Motorbikes with Matt - one of the old Car Throttle guys. Again, if I'm working from home and have exhausted all my feed I'll throw one of his on but I wouldn't say they are particularly exciting.
NeevesyBikes - The OG. I genuinely watch his stuff in bed to fall asleep to
Not saying it's boring but it seems to do the trick!

I do the same Not saying it's boring but it seems to do the trick! but only with his 'thanks for asking' Q&A stuff, since it's really a 'listen' rather than a watch. Just something very relaxing about listening to his calm answers, even when the question is bonkers.Momentofmadness said:

Jim at Superbike Surgery has really good knowledge and methodical at fault finding, and while i do watch the videos, they tend to drift on a bit longhttps://www.youtube.com/@AshRowland

Ash Rowland works in the same town I live in so i kind of feel loyal to watch him, it is engaging though to watch him learn as he goes.

This channel came from nowhere and after an initial setback having a bike stolen when he started, Andy and his wife have come a long way — he has passed some advanced riding training and is on a challenge to ride 100 bikes. I think he’s up to 71 or so now. S1000XR is todays episode.
