Driver vs. Car: How we should really act as road bikers
I came across this info graphic about cars and bikes this morning that I thought was really valuable. It is…by far…one of the best illustrations I have seen to date on driver/road biker relations. I can not begin to tell you how many rides I have been on where a road biker will yell, scream, [...]
Video of Chris Akrigg’s crash that shattered his femur and updates on his recovery…

Photo of the Week: Breath Taking
I was scrolling through the Bike198 Flickr Group this morning and this picture by PierreMeyer.pictures completely caught my eye. In the southeast US, scenery like this is hard to come by.

Video: James Doerfling Gettin’ It Done! (BIG Drop)
There have been a lot of incredible videos hitting the web lately. It is almost as if we are at the pinnacle of mountain biking footage on the web and it doesn’t seem to be letting up any time soon. James Doerfling (Knolly) recently released this video and it is SICK. I absolutely love the [...]
Video: Blackrock Freeride with Spencer Burback
I came across this video hosted on VitalMTB.com last week. It is incredibly well put together and the sequence just makes you want to get out and ride. Check it out below.

Review: Ellsworth Epiphany SST.2 – 5.5″ Travel Mountain Bike
The Ellsworth Epiphany has been a long time staple in the Ellsworth lineup. Dubbed as their ultimate trail bike, the Epiphany got a host of upgrades with the SST.2 tubing addition that included a slightly lighter overall weight (by a 1/2 pound), curved tubes, asymmetric stays and more custom color options that even includes the [...]
