    Trail access

    Marcus Farley - Mon 14 Apr, 10:37 am BST

    Trail access is a subject that can get the blood boiling of all of us, whether we are mountain biker, horse rider or walker. Each camp has its own arguments and counterarguments.

    The small things in life

    Marcus Farley - Mon 7 Apr, 3:27 pm BST

    It’s not just the arrival of wonderful new bikes, components or clothing (I wish!) that put an immediate smile on your face. Small things can do that, too.

    Taking out your mates

    Marcus Farley - Tue 1 Apr, 4:10 pm BST

    The cycling industry has solved many problems that were once perceived as impossible. For example, we now have full suspension mountain bikes that don’t bob, night riding lights that are also light in weight, and even trails that walkers aren’t allowed on!

  • The Two Hemispheres

    The Two Hemispheres

    Marcus Farley - Mon 10 Mar, 9:23 am GMT

    For most things in life, I seem to operate within 2 distinct opposite hemispheres of thought. For example, I’m an agnostic, so I swing easily from religion and atheism as designs for life; I am generally surrounded by clutter, yet I am obsessed by minimalist design; with regards to mountain bikes, I love simple single pivot suspension, yet I am also a great admirer of Karl-Heinz Nicolai’s uber-technical feats of engineering.
