OPINIONS.
YELLING AT CLOUDS...
We’ve been around the block, several times, so we have opinions about most things to do with bikes. And we are going to share them… here.
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe crisp, fresh smell in the air, the early morning light and knowing that the chance of bumping into any of the interstate interlopers I saw heading in with bikes strapped to their cars would be nowhere in sight.
Reading Time: 8 minutesLately there has been a lot of hoopla about the supposed war going on between ‘cyclists’ and drivers…
Reading Time: 5 minutesNow this might come as a shock to some retailers but I have a theory about just why you might be loosing business. The theory is simple and goes something like this – you suck.
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe sort of stuff I see on a regular basis is a lot more passive but every bit as insidious.
Reading Time: 4 minutesI have a question for you – what’s the best way to make your bike lighter?
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe 55 is a great fork but it’s bloody heavy, it truly is. All you have to do is pick up the bike to realise this…. or even just the fork alone. I wondered if I could stick a lighter fork on the front?
Reading Time: 3 minutesYet despite this many of today’s adverts tell you that it should be, and is mostly about, victory and winning.
And that’s where I have an issue.
Reading Time: 11 minutesUnless you have been living in a large hole of late, there is a new wind blowing through the mountain bike world…
Reading Time: 6 minutesPut up your hand if you remember what it was like to ride a mountain bike in the early to mid 90’s. Remember all those must have, lust worthy boutique parts?
Reading Time: 8 minutesHow it started was one of those strange stories, perhaps best left for another post about how the internet works. What happened though was I found myself working in the bike industry (in a way I had not before, just to clarify) and for one of the great names in the annals of Mountain Bike history.
