Anglers will go to great lengths for the right fishing spot, luckily for the Provo brothers, Northern Idaho, specifically in the Bitterroot Mountains, is home to exceptional singletrack and a healthy population of Bull Trout. Check out this fun video they made last year….

Ben Hildred has spent years in search of the eternal summer. A native of Lincoln, England, he milks the Northern Hemisphere’s warm months in places like Whistler, British Columbia, before absconding to Queenstown, New Zealand, to make the most of the Southern Hemisphere summer.

Path Less Pedaled teamed up with Bike Insights to hold a video conference about bicycle geometry. I thought the discussion on rake and trail in the ENVE MTN fork review was interesting and this video is great for anyone with questions about bicycle geometry.

Filmed in June 2019 on locations around Loch Etive, The Pierhouse Hotel in Port Appin and the Isle of Lismore in Argyll, ‘Distance’ is the follow-up to ‘Wild About Argyll’, which was released in 2018.

The latest from Ad Lips Productions has all the feels… Watch as Marc Maurer reconciles his dream of circling the globe by bicycle.

Back in the days I always thought I need to ride as many kilometers
or meters in elevation as possible
Or that I have to have a high average speed
At some point I realized that it was total nonsense
I just want to have fun and want to be free riding my bike.
I don’t want to torture myself all the time
I just don’t like the whole performance idea

Every town has a community, a gathering place, and local digs. Videos like this allow us to peer inside places we’ve never been before and for that, I commend videographers for creating these vignettes. Orange Trike Media made this as an homage to Clara Vale, a small former coal-mining village in the north-east part of the UK, with a population of 200. Yet, even with a small population, there is a booming MTB scene. They ride every Tuesday no matter what, on their amazing network of local trails…

This pandemic has us scouring social media for videos to share, in an attempt to transport us back to the time when group rides were the norm and our calendars were filled with fun rides. That’s what brought me to find this recap video from the 2019 Nutmeg Nor’Easter.

The latest from Patagonia is not to be missed!

“A film about inclusion, identity, and hand-drawn heroes. If you can’t find a hero, create your own; for mountain biker, skier and artist Brooklyn Bell, that hand-drawn hero was a comic character named Ruby J. Using Ruby as a role model, Brooklyn set out to “live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her,” finding her own identity in a mix of dirt, snow, art and inclusion.“

The supply chain is disrupted, bikes are selling out all over the country, more riders are out on trails and the roads alike, is this a moment? Or is this the start of a new reality for a sport that has seen popularity rise and fall before? How will small mountain towns deal with tourism which brings the income and now potentially a deadly virus? Will tourists only be from their home state? Or will the pilgrimage to our favorite riding destinations come back to life?

Watch the live stream, discussing cycling and the pandemic here at 12noon PST.

Everyone’s favorite hub, the 240, just got a refresh from the engineers and designers at DT Swiss. The old 240 hubs were so iconic, I can’t wait to see what the next generation looks, feels, and sounds like. Check out this video showcasing the new design and see more at DT Swiss.
