It’s a name and a brand that has been around since the birth of MTB and has so entrenched itself in the world we inhabit as to become a meme.

    The simple answer is we’ve never offered as much to our members as we do now and we need our members now more than ever to keep us in the position of the UK’s only remaining independent mountain bike magazine.

    If you call yourself a mountain biker then you will know of the Marzocchi Bomber fork. It’s a name and a brand that has been around since the birth of MTB and has so entrenched itself in the world we inhabit as to become a meme. To own something with Bombers is to dominate that thing – in its polite sense that is. The origin of the meme is a blur but we wouldn’t be surprised if some from the forum laid claim to it. If you know of an origin story then please share in the comments.

    The return of Happy Mondays! We’re back to ease the pain of the start of the working week. Hey look, the daffodils are finally out too. Over the past few days, I’ve managed to wean myself off E. E-bikes that is. I’m not going to say that ebiking is bad. Or that it’s better than regular MTBing. What I am going to say is blindingly obvious. Ebiking is easier. And quicker. And noisier. Whether you think these three aspects are good, bad or meh, is up to you.

Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around." https://t.co/la3ibCDCsp
