Back on the bike after a needing a few days to recover after last week’s efforts. Still a little tender but couldn’t resist a quick out and back/up and down. #mtb#cycling#highlands
Memory from Winter of 2022 on the fat bike. I don't like the insta360 go’s quality, but the feature where it keeps the horizon level makes some really interesting tire angles. Wheee!!
Years ago, I struggled through a challenging 40km mountain bike loop that left me exhausted and discouraged. This time, I revisited the same route with better preparation, fitness, and a new bike. The result was a surprising and rewarding experience. Check out the video to see how it went!
I was just thinking: is mountain biking the "extreme" / action sport most likely to survive after The Collapse™?
Cities will be too dirty for skateboarding and rollerblading, snowboarding and skiing require both snow and access to high altitudes. Maybe BMX will also have a chance in rubble filled cities?
Am i the only person wondering about these things?
should I get a full suspension #mtb if I'd rarely need it? I'd use it some up at #duluth probably but the reality is thatd be like once a year. But of course I could be overbiked at Theo and it's not like thats a problem.
im mostly trying to decide between a Wyatt Vista and an Otso Fenrir. I have a Wyatt fat bike and an Otso gravel bike so I'm familiar with the brands but neither offers full suspension.
This past weekend was pretty memorable. Went to Bentonville, AR for Bike Fest. I only brought my e-bike as our goal was to get as much riding in as possible over 3 days. Broke my lower cage on my derailleur, rain dumped on us in the morning of day 2, and day 3 was just perfect. Officially clocked 92 miles of riding during our trip.
A chaque sortie VTT, je me dis que j'ai une voiture qui va bien.
La roue arrière tombe au niveau du troisième point Isofix du dossier rabattu, ce qui me permet de la fixer avec une petite sangle. Une autre petite sangle ensuite pour bloquer le levier de frein arrière et le vélo ne bouge plus du tout.
Pour ceux qui font attention aux détails : les chaussures dans le coffre ne sont pas mes chaussures de VTT... Je les avais aux pieds.
Today i did the 18th #Bike2Work ride.
It was 19°C and cloudy, no wind at all. Very wet since it stopped raining an hour before the ride. I was very lucky for once 😁 I did track C-K (22.5km, 280m ascend).
After these 10 days of stop (well i trained anyway, but not commuted) i felt in great condition. Plus, every time it's wet or raining it's like i have a boost or something...so i destroyed the last year PR by 5 minutes! 😲
Infrequently used singletrack motocross/mtb trail halfway up Eagle Mt, connecting to other even less frequently used, but magical trails. Only becomes accessible in April, but worth it, as it hugs the mountain side for a few km that feel endless (as good singletrack does). #mtb#hiking#nature#singletrack#trails#pnw
The trail markers of MTB trails showcase the poetry of creation. Made by volunteers, when you ride these at the end your legs, lungs, and soul agree: 'apt'. Let's do that one more time... #biking#mtb#pnw#westwoodplateau#nature#hiking

Wojcieszów. Single tracki Dłużek oraz Okole. Wspaniały przelot pomiędzy nimi. Dłużek? Nuda. Choć dwie gleby zaliczyłem. Okole? W to mi graj. Były momenty. Urokliwy i najciekawszy technicznie. Utyrałem się jak jasna cholera.
Przelot? Z pięknymi widokami i ciekawymi miejscówkami pod przyszłe wyrypy.
Potem wpadły: zajebiaszczy pączek z porzeczkowym sorbetem oraz szejk o smaku maślanki z kruszonką (niebo!) w lodziarni znajdującej się w Świerzawie.
Moin,
nach 8000 km Ganzjahres-#AlltagsRadeln hat das #RaleighDundee eine Frischzellenkur bekommen:
Kettenblatt, Kette, Kassette, Schaltrollen, Bremsbelege und neue Pedale 😊
Eigentlich sollte die Federgabel auch neu, die Werkstatt konnte aber keine Alternative zur Suntour XCM 34 ranschaffen.
Hat jemand einen Tip für eine #MTB Federgabel besserer Qualität / mehr Komfort bis ca 400 EUR ? #Fahrrad@fedibikes_de@mastobikes_de
Berge haben wir hier in #SchleswigHolstein nicht, aber Schotterwege.
For some reason I find myself unable to join in conf calls today.
These cliffs are actually the remains of a limestone quarry: blocks cut here were carried by pony to the canal and beyond. The odd cones are not natural features: they’re the rubble just overgrown
Ihr wisst ja.... #Mountainbiker machen den Wald kaputt und müssen deshalb aus dem Wald verbannt werden.
Um diesem absurden #Vorurteil, #Bashing und #Blaming gerecht zu werden, habe ich mir auf meiner #Biketour heute durch's #Krebsbachtal bei #Eigeltingen besonders viel Mühe gegeben, nicht nur den Weg, sondern auch das Bachbett ohne Rücksicht auf Flora, Fauna und Ökosystem zu zerstören - siehe Fotos.
Die fehlenden Bäume gehen natürlich auch auf meine Kappe... die habe ich mit dem Kettenblatt umgesägt.
Odkrywanie starych biegowych miejscówek oraz kolejny rekonesans w pobliżu Winnej Góry — obczajka singli oraz trasy Solid MTB.
Las oraz wzgórza niezmiennie piękne, a okolica dzika. Na trasie zaliczyłem lekki wkurw, bo jakiś kutafon po zjeździe singlem urządził sobie popas, a papierek po batonie wyrzucił beztrosko pod koła, na ściółkę. Nie lubię po kimś sprzątać, a tym bardziej kalać wzroku syfem. Pozbierałem i pokręciłem dalej, ciesząc oczy soczystą zielenią. #magiczylas#trail#mtb
I've been taking my old #MTB out again of late and had forgotten how much fun an out and out #XC bike can be. But it needs new rear hub, cassette and chain, plus a new front rim. There's nothing inherently wrong with the specs of the worn out parts, but given that it's ~10 years old and tech has moved on, do I go like-for-like or use it as an excuse to upgrade from 10 speed to 12? 🤔
This dilemma is worryingly close to how most of my n+1 purchases start out. #cycling#bikeTooter
Der #April macht seinem Ruf ja gerade alle Ehre:
"April, April, der macht was er will"
Während ich letztes Wochenende bei annähernd blauem Himmel und sommerlichen 25°C unterwegs war, waren es heute 1 Woche später phasenweise Graupelschschauer bei anfangs 6°C und zum Schluss nur noch 4°C 🥶
My bike now has spokes made out of strings. It’s actually a material called Dyneema which is polyethylene. It’s said to have 15x the strength to weight ratio of steel spokes and floats on water. My wheels lost over 200 grams in weight. But what’s bigger is these spokes dampen chatter on the trail. It feels like I’m riding with half the air in my tires, but without being slowed down.
I’ve done 2 rides on them so far and I’m very impressed by the ride quality improvements they have.
