24 Hour Road Racing

Center of map

Millbrook - Not Here :(
Apparently there may soon be a Mountain Mayhem style 24 hour road race. Details are scarce, but we do know that it won’t be using the Belgian Pave at Millbrook which is a shame.

It’s all gone Harley-Davidson

We spotted a belt drive Orange P7 singlespeed being ridden round Mountain Mayhem. Looks like another company might be the first to bring it to market though. Apparently
Spot have adopted a carbon drive system for next year.
If it works for the massive power and can cope with the torque pulses of Milwaukees finest then I’m […]

Wot No Langster?

Langster Chicago
Someone at Specialized has a sense of humour and someone in power at Specialized has let them play it out on their Langster singlespeed fixie. Well, how else do you explain the quirky ‘city’ models, each one playfully decorated for it’s target audience.

Good News Update
Little Audrey has been recovered. Found abandoned in an alley.

Losing Subscribers

Future Publishing has recently launched BikeRadar, switching existing members from the likes of it’s MBUK forums.
It’s obviously been an interesting exercise in transferring user data from one forum to the other but fucking them both up.
I came up against the mother of login barriers when I tried to register at BikeRadar.
First of all I […]

Foot and Mouth Fall Out

Center of map

I see that some farmers around Calderdale have put signs up telling people to stay off their land for disease control reasons. As there are no restrictions on rights of way in the area according to DEFRA I think it’s safe to say this is more a symptom of “Get Orf My Land” […]

I Want To Be A World Champion Mountain Bike Racer

So says a kid on 2001: A Clockwork Orange by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine.
Not a World Champion track cyclist. Not a world champion roadie. A world champion mountain biker.
In amongst all the fuss over the selection of the British Team for the Fort William World Championships the British Cycling apologists have made plenty […]
