SF Bike Expo Scene: Part 2

I ride my bike around the city a lot more than I get to ride it in the dirt. It is a sad reality of life in the city, but what can you do? Since I’m a big gear head with a fashionista girlfriend, it stands to reason I’d eventually become intrigued with gear that works for [...]

SF Bike Expo: Cool stuff from the floor, part one

We didn’t make it to Interbike this year, although we had been looking into going until the last minute. My favorite part about the bicycle industry’s biggest trade show is looking at cool new product I haven’t seen before and geeking out on it. With the SF Bike Expo you were able to experience much [...]

The Conclusion to the Vandeman Saga… on Newstands Now

We reported on the trial and arrest of Mike Vandeman, the extremist anti-mountain bike crusader earlier this spring. Shortly after that, I made the acquaintance of Peter Frick-Wright, a writer from Portland that treked down to the Bay Area to follow the story. Peter had dedicated himself to covering the saga of Mr. Vandeman’s trial, and was on [...]

SF Bike Expo: AT’s Showdown

The big event of the San Francisco Bike Expo is Andrew Taylor’s freestyle MTB comp, known as AT’s Showdown. This year, the emphasis on slopestyle was taken down a notch and in it’s place, the focus was on a head-to-head dirt jump format. Or, as I was calling it, “watchin’ dudes on bikes hitting big-ass [...]

A day at the Sea Otter Classic

In the expo area the emphasis was heavy on the big wheels, and just about every manufacturer has jumped on the big wheel band wagon with newly launched offerings. Even SRAM was into it, with SID 29er shirts identifying employees [...]

Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship needs yo’ money

I’m not a big fan of the whole bike blog re-post/aggregate thing, but I do like the sweet trails in the Downieville area, so when the SBTS asked if we’d drop them a link we said, “OK.” These kids bust their asses so we all have sweet trails to ride on our mini-MTB vacays, so [...]

Chris Akrigg rules, and other news for March

This video from Chriss Akrigg and Victor Lucas went viral a few weeks ago, but if you haven’t seen it yet, its new to you. It’s beyond badass. Akrigg fuses trail riding with trials, street, and dirt jumping for a sweet edit with his version of rolling down a hill in Spain. I realize he’s [...]
