Brilliant episode, really love these cafe rides. I ride the very same roads when i go on holiday down there, its a bit lumpy but the scenery is stunning.

[@glennhoddle10]

I remember in an interview sometime in the mid 2000s, George Michael was asked about his sincere thoughts on Andrew . He paused for a moment, then said Andrew was unfairly maligned by the press after Wham's breakup. He said without Andrew, he would never have become a music superstar. Andrew gave him the courage, confidence and support whenever he felt overwhelmed and giving up. Andrew was polished, suave , talented in his own right , fun and very very intelligent. George ended with this quip : " Andrew was really the smart one. He's living a great life in Cornwall and many times, I find myself very very envious of him." This video illustrates that George was spot on about Andrew.

It's funny isn't it. I remember Andrew Ridgely outside of music as the guy who wanted to be a racing driver and was known for crashing his cars. He's definitely moved on a lot from then and is a really good cyclist. And yes Matt, I think Cornwall looks fabulous and I'm definitely thinking about going there next summer.

[@glennchapman3816]

Great episode! Andrew's a great lad and clearly an excellent cyclist. What I really liked was the fact that Matt never asked questions about George - as much as Andrew loved him, I'm sure it must get annoying when the line if questioning always works it way back to George. Well done Matt, you the man!

What a great interview. Andrew clearly enjoying the day. Matt giving him plenty of time to speak, but chipping in with some lovely comments. One of the best cafe rides I've seen

[@sigmasports]

Thanks Stuart. Both Matt and Andrew were amazing

[@ullrichjanullrich3612]

What a man of many lives Andrew is, very inspiring.

[@sigmasports]

He was a fantastic guest and we were honoured to have him join us on the series

[@neilreed4206]

You can't get better than that, 2 Bushey boys having fun.. Grew up with both of them, we lived just a few houses away, Andrew taught me how to skate board and his brother Paul taught me how to play drums, Matthew was always fun and i went to school with his sister Natasha.. great video..

[@Rob_Evs]

Andrew comes across as an unassuming great guy and really looking after himself. Looks fit as a fiddle. Really enjoyed this.

Hope I look and ride as well in my '60s as he does!

I don’t know what algorithm brought me here, but that was thoroughly enjoyable. What a gentleman Andrew is, well, both of them for that matter. Superbly produced as well.

[@bigmig4574]

What a brilliant episode and Andrew is an absolute gentleman and so fascinating. Matt also whilst such a funny guy should not be underestimated in his amazing talent as an interviewer and an authentic great guy.

[@adunford2664]

Good to see Andrew looking after himself and a keen cyclist. Fab countryside.

[@lewisA76]

Absolutely loved this. Only complaint is that i wish it was longer. Beautiful scenery, great interviewing by Matt,(who is better than some who have made it their career) and what a great guest in Andrew Ridgeley, what a lovely guy. Fantastic. Maybe Gary Kemp next keeping the 80's music theme alive.

[@TheJimboC23]

What a fantastic interview, and what a beautiful soul Andrew Ridgeley seems to be.

[@stricardo1]

What a great bloke Andrew is. Really enjoyed this episode and Cornwall's views.

[@anthonysearcy9277]

That cafe ride has to be the best one of the series!! I couldn't wait to watch this when I heard about it! Us gentleman of a certain age like Matt pointed out ALL pretended not to like Wham! But secretly listened to our girlfriends/sister's/ wives copies!🤫 And let's face it .. They were good🎵🇬🇧 The ride itself was spectacular.. Fantastic scenery! Fantastic banter and a genuine warmth between Matt and Andrew. And the topics of conversation sounded familiar to us 60's kids. Here's another vote for Cornwall I must try and ride there myself again sometime soon!☀️🇬🇧

[@jasondyer811]

Andrew seems a really nice bloke ,great to see him doing well and looking so content with life 😁😁👍👍

Andrew looks fantastic! Cycling is truly the foundation of youth!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Absolutely fantastic, I never knew Andrew was into cycling and what a great cafe ride. I think that Andrew has realised every dream and aspiration that a person could ever aim for and for this , he deserves some massive kudos, and what a great great guy all round. We need more of this kind of stuff Matt and the team. Probably one of the best productions to date👍 - I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines....

[@tomfletcher4106]

As a fellow cyclist in Cornwall. Great to see. Andrew is well known as a great cyclist around here although I don’t know him myself. Also as a 52 year old Joy Division fan - so pleased to see Closer as Andrew’s choice! I know George was a big fan too. So cool. Great bit of video. Thanks so much.

[@glennbellamy7004]

I went to Andrews house a few years ago for work, amazing guy so down to earth real gentleman. Go to see him enjoying cycling in such a great area....

[@ChrisDemers23]

THE BEST cafe ride yet. Matt just lived out my dream of riding in England chatting about music with an absolute icon (and clearly skilled cyclist). Loved the album buying and reveal. Andrew, if you’re interested in taking a Yank out for a spin, please let me know. I’ll jump on the next plane and be there in about 6 hours. Well done, lads.

[@bobkatanga]

Great video men. Lovely to see Andrew looking so well and fit. I'm 59 and was a big Wham fan.

[@TheMarman57]

Being a musician most of my life, I can say that musicians appreciate skill talent creativity and uniqueness when they hear it. Both ABBA and WHAM! had that in abundance. Great video, I caught a glimps of Andrew in Amy's Cycling Adventure video. He's a lovely guy. He is really fit as a mature cyclist, and his reflections and stories behind those heady pop years we all remember are gold.

[@aaronedgeart]

Absolutely love the kindness between you two, and-as you both already know-cycling and music go together like coffee and conversation.

[@simonclare5422]

Best cafe ride yet. Loved hearing Andy, wife and I were/are massive Wham/ George fans. Cornwall is stunning, thank you for sharing

What a booking, great find that AR is an avid cyclist. Gotta be one of the best received Cafe rides episodes ever. Andrew looks great on a bike, very fit and flew up the climbs, lots of miles in those legs.

[@richcrompton6891]

The Cafe Ride series is without doubt my favourite content to savour on KZbin. It would be my favourite content on any media outlet. It really should be on mainstream TV.

Ah shucks, that means a lot. Stay tuned, plenty more to come...

[@ChrisGrogu]

This was magical, makes me want to go to Cornwall and hopefully bump into Andrew Ridgely on a ride 👍

[@DarenC]

55-year-old me found this absolutely delightful! AR looks in great shape, and seems to be enjoying life. It's lovely to get these little insights into people I grew up with. I might never have bought a Wham! record (Maiden and Madness were more my jam), but they form a solid part of the soundtrack of my life. Cornwall looked stunning, too.

[@sigmasports]

Thanks for the kind message and we are over the moon to hear you enjoyed the episode 😃

[@matthewvelo]

What an amazing guest to have on the café ride. Andrew and Wham are one of the soundtracks to my teenage years. Even more so, that Abba Arrival album cover is etched in my memory from my Dad's vinyl collection (and he was also a heavy metal fan).
