If you can’t already tell…trials bikes are on the brain of Bike198 right now. We are actually on the hunt to find the perfect trials bike for the site so we can start gearing more content in that area of riding. When a friend of ours posted up a link to this video on Facebook, [...]
Mike Steidley headed over to France and shot this trials mountain biking footage entirely with a GoPro Hero2. He really shows throughout the clip how crucial balance is to mountain bike control (even though he is on a purpose built trials bike). It really is amazing how much control he has over the bike, his [...]
Specialized Bicycles made a big jump in the electric bike market with their announcement of the Specialized Turbo earlier this week. This ebike claims to be able to cruise the streets of your favorite city at 45kph (~ 28mph). Ironically, it can only be sold in Europe at this time due to US regulations calling [...]
Awhile back, we hit up our Facebook fan page and asked everyone if they would like to see “Live the Ride” wristbands from Bike198. The response was so positive that we decided to move forward with the project and now they are officially for sale in the Bike198 store! For most of us, riding is [...]
Danny MacAskill is at it again…and these videos never get old. Arguably the most talented trials rider of our era (outside of Hans Rey), Danny has managed super stardom thanks to YouTube videos and this one does not disappoint. What really gets me is actually not the raw talent, but the creativity that goes into [...]
I have seen a lot of different things over the years, but this has to be the most extreme trials maneuvers I have ever seen done on carbon road bikes. Last year, a video was released by Martyn Ashton about his road bike commute where he did some trails and dirt moves, but this one [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It really is amazing how much BMX is progressing lately. While we thought Hoffman pulling off a no handed 900 at the X-Games in 2006 was epic, the riders today are stretching those limits even further. This clip by Harry Main is a great example of how the sport is progressing. The amount of speed [...]
Back from injury, Drew Bezanson is back and looks like he is in the best shape of his life by the looks of this video. The competitors in the Dew Tour is going to have their hands full this coming season. The transfers and trick combos he is pulling off at Joyride 150 are just [...]
Next month, we are going to see the first action movie out of Hollywood that features bike messengers as the main characters. Interestingly enough, when I first saw the preview in the movie theaters, I turned to my wife and said, “I bet you 10 bucks that Danny MacAskill is doing the stunts in this [...]
Take the sidewalk or the road? This is the pressing issue of safety for some many bike commuters. And many new cyclists make the mistake of sticking to the sidewalk because it seems less intimidating when you consider the other optional traffic-filled road. I myself, came to the decision after a dangerous accident with a [...]
