Five YouTube channels from mountain bikers in the check: We tell you whether it's worth clicking in more often.
Fabio Wibmer - 930 thousand subscribers
The exceptional biker from Austria is particularly popular with kids and teenagers. He continuously feeds his channel, mostly with clips in which he takes on daring mountain bike challenges with his mate and flatmate Elias.
Our conclusion: Funny and entertaining at the same time.
YOUTUBE Channel: Fabio Wibmer
Cedric Gracia - 27.7 thousand subscribers
The extroverted racing veteran was the first well-known biker to have his own channel. Cedric uploads videos several times a week. They show him at the physio, him driving a Lamborghini, him baking crêpes or even biking.
Our conclusion: Only for die-hard Cedric fans.
YOUTUBE Channel: Cedric Gracia
Miss Peaches - 15.4 thousand subscribers
The Viennese is not a classic professional biker, but is still in demand online. She films herself biking, swimming and holding products up to the camera. Her fans comment: "I want to marry you", or: "The bikini top is great."
Our conclusion: A bit cheesy. More for teenagers.
YOUTUBE Channel: Miss Peaches
David Cachon - 1.6 thousand subscribers
The YouTube adventurer and trial specialist focusses on epic scenarios paired with a lot of skill on the bike. He rides on the Great Wall of China or with a racing bike on a DH course. The big audience has yet to materialise.
Our conclusion: The clips from Danny MacAskill can do more.
YOUTUBE Channel: David Cachon
Emily Batty - 9.1 thousand subscribers
The Canadian professional biker is one of the few from the cross-country circus with her own YouTube channel. Although she currently only has a few videos available, they are filmed to a high standard and are reminiscent of reality TV shows on US television.
Our conclusion: Entertaining, but a little self-indulgent.
