If everyone’s dead, we can’t hurt the animals.

Or plants, come to think of it.

Yep. Many bike industry brands and shops will not survive this.

Yep. The fact Trump rolled over when he realised how much iPhones were going to cost is a big tell.

The rest of US business who just saw their materials double in price without warning must be apoplectic.

Or - buy a NordVPN sub and watch the excellent SBS Australia feed. A few minutes ads every 30 minutes or so.

That’s a 4kg Bosch battery in the orange bag. Hammered down some very rough trails, absolutely solid. Which is what you want in stuff like this.

Meant to add - can hold 5kg per side, swap between rigid and suspension fork, fits any bike, 4-bolt capacity for really large cages/mounting systems. Through axles available to suit any bike so future proof. Not cheap at about £120 for pack and axle, but very noice.

Dalwhinnie down to Loch Pattick then up past Culra bothy and over Bealach Dubh. The last 500m is a 20%-gradient push of mildly unfunny proportions.
