    No disrespect to Claudia

    Marcus Farley - Fri 28 Mar, 2:33 pm GMT

    No disrespect to Claudia, or any of the other supermodels for that matter...the only supermodel I dream about is of the 2 wheeled variety...

    Epic rides vs epic portions

    Marcus Farley - Wed 19 Mar, 11:19 am GMT

  • The last remaining Holy Grail?

    The last remaining Holy Grail?

    Marcus Farley - Wed 12 Mar, 2:23 pm GMT

    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! But, in my opinion, there is still one remaining Holy Grail that no-one has yet been able to find. A waterproof coat that is both breathable and properly durable.

  • 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.

  • The new Yeti ASR-C carbon bike elicts mixed reactions over its looks

    Perception

    Marcus Farley - Fri 29 Feb, 12:00 am GMT

    We often initially feel moderate repulsion by slight changes to what we are used to. That is, until we get used to the perception change, and yesterday’s norm is what repulses us instead, so says Marcus Farley

  • Wardrobe mistress

    Wardrobe mistress

    Helen Spedding - Thu 14 Feb, 4:30 pm GMT

    Don’t know if it’s the sight of daffodils outside, or because for months this office has been filled with men in muddy, dowdy cycling gear, but I’ve been craving a little bit of colour in my sporting wardrobe.

  • The Fox Flux helmet

    The Twit in the Hat

    Marcus Farley - Thu 7 Feb, 12:00 am GMT

    Wearing a helmet is cooler than being dead, so says Marcus Farley

  • Is singlespeeding the preserve of the perverse, or does it usher in a simpler way of riding?

    Square-wheeled unicycling

    Marcus Farley - Thu 31 Jan, 12:00 am GMT

    Singlespeed revolution? Nah! square wheeled Unicycling, that’s the way forward according to Marcus Farley…
