Majestic surroundings, fog covered forest and killer riding…all good things that make this video a must watch.
Stolen Bikes: 6 Tips To Keep Your Bike Safe
January 31, 2012 By
Outside Magazine recently ran an article titled, “Who pinched my ride” where Patrick Symmes talks about stolen bicycles and his experience (with multiple rides stolen) in New York City. While Symmes is probably in the worst place in the US for bicycle theft, it is something that happens every where to every group of cyclists. I [...]
Video: Freeride Entertainment 2012 Demo Reel
January 30, 2012 By
Freeride Entertainment released their 2012 demo reel 3 days ago and it is insane. The mountain biking clips included are truly unique (the barge shoot in particular) but the rest of the video is incredible. They obviously do a lot of work with Red Bull as most of the clips feature that logo in some [...]

This is another must watch clip. I ended up watching it several times over as the cinematography and riding are simply incredible. Lil vidder of Killick from last Fall. He would like to thank his sponsors, Giant, Chromag, Giro, Lavan, Smith and Bicycle Cafe. Song is Chemical Brothers – One too many mornings. facebook.com/pages/Silvia/149128011826656

Driver vs. Car: How we should really act as road bikers
January 25, 2012 By
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, [...]

January 23, 2012 By
Yeah you read that right…shattered femur. Before we get onto Chris Akrigg (awesome fixie and trials rider), check out this clip that accurately describes the pain level that a broken femur rates on the 1 to 10 scale with comedian Brian Regan… So…here is the footage of Chris Akrigg falling off a cliff and the [...]
Photo of the Week: Breath Taking
January 23, 2012 By
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. We are usually swallowed up by dense foliage, so even when there is a chance to see across the range…it is blocked by the forest [...]

January 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment
So we posted up the version from NSMB.com that depicted typical comments made by mountain bikers…and more specifically…those in the North Shore. People for Bikes thought it was a pretty cool idea, so they put together this clip of “Shit Cyclists Say” for the roadie crowd. It’s amazing how even though riding groups are spread [...]
