Mark Jenkins currently drives an M registration Golf TDI estate, which has done about 145,000 miles – and it's getting a little tired. Mark does a lot of mountain biking, hiking and kayaking, plus he has a new job which has a daily 110-mile commute. He wants reliability, economy, and comfort, but he's also deaf and his hearing aids pick up a lot of noises generated by the car, so something quiet...
We have a family rabbit. As pets go, its fairly low stress -already house trained (its been handed on from a family moving abroad), and it is quite happy to sit around. You have to make sure that paper and wires are away for it to nibble, which means we have to keep in the bottom half of the house, away from the computer or the mess of wires behind the TV I have one concern: It has a fur that is grey/brown/black,...

I’d like to get a new bike, soon. I live in a very urban area, so initially I thought a road bike would suit me best, but I will need to use it when I go camping and stuff. If I am going to need a bike for both pavement and rugged terrain, [...]
Back in the first week of October, I get an email from Dave asking if any of us were up for going out exploring on the mountain bike. He had a map of some land west of Gunnison that showed US Forest Service roads and trail. Dave stated that he had never heard of anyone mountain biking here. But in reality, why would anyone, when the mtb mecca's of Crested Butte and Gunnison were less than 50 miles...
Peder Nelson loves both skiing and mountain biking. So when it came time for him to decide on his major at Western State College in Gunnison, Colo., he quickly chose recreation. “I thought I wanted to work at a ski area,” he says, explaining that he wasn’t exactly certain of what kind of work he would [...]

When I accepted the gig with Electra, I was eager to ditch the past and to be able to ride whatever mountain, road and cyclocross bikes my little heart desired. In the past year I have sold off a couple of Mongoose mountain bikes and bought a stunning Pivot Mach 5 mountain bike and a Gunnar Crosshairs cyclocross rig. I had prepped Allie for that I'd be buying a new road bike when we first placed our...
Adventure hiking is not for the faint hearted as there are moments when you will on steep slopes and thin ledges. If you have never done any hiking before, I would suggest starting with something a little easier as there is danger involved with the adventure side of the activity. But you are guaranteed to [...]
Gregg @ MTBR posted his Top 10 Mountain Bike YouTube video list . He didn't choose any of my short Santa Cruz trail videos , but thankfully none of those lame-o Xtranormal movies made the cut. The blow up doll is perverse, but I kind of liked the clip from Fat Tire Fury of Bobby Root mountain biking in San Francisco, maybe because I hadn't seen it before. Paul of Bike Intelligencer posted his faves...
We received quite a few questions in response to “Bad to the bone” which looked at some recent data in professional and highly training amateur cyclists in regards to their risk for developing osteopenia or osteoporosis. Please see these answers below. Question 1: Does riding my mountain bike help? Hi Monique: Great article. I’m curious primarily as a road cyclist who does some trail...
Very impressed with this bike . Was a bit wary at first as i knew it would involve some assembly however, despite there not being very comprehensive instructions, this was fairly straight forward to do. Finished bike looks really smart, good quality and like it will last. Seems very good value comapared to similar styles (that didnt look as nice)that i have seen in large chain retailers, all over which
