9/13/2025 1:26pm The use of the em dash (—) is a dead giveaway of AI generated copy. The reason is that sites like CHATgpt have trained their models by heavily relying on The New York Times, which historically uses em dashes. Even in everyday work you can spot who is using AI to write their emails and copy by the abundance of...

Thank you. And, I totally respect that. We’re setting up, if we can, to land some big partners (government and non-endemic) to properly support these riders and create a stage that’s really good exposure for the sport and athletes. Right now I just don’t see that’s the case in a lot of scenarios. We might fail but we’re sure going to put our best efforts together to reach those big goals. Cheers!

bill22 Added a reply to Poll: Have your buying habits changed?
10/29/2024 7:22am I used to look for the latest and greatest and pull the trigger without thought. But now that my bikes are built exactly how I want them, I don't find myself looking to buy anything new any more. The only time I spend money on my bikes is to maintain them and to replace worn out parts (tires, brake pads...

bill22 Added a reply to Quality of Commencal kids bikes
2/25/2024 1:05pm We started with the 12" balance bike when my son was 2 and that taught him how to ride at a very young age. We then got him on the 14" Ramones pedal bike and that too was a great bike. When we jumped him up to the 20" is where I started to notice quality issues. For example, I...

1/23/2024 3:11pm Your question about trail damage was always a concern I had with the added traffic of eBikes and the fact that one person alone can now hit the same trail 4x what they could on a regular bike in a single day. But what I have seen (as recently as this past weekend) is the outpouring of support from the...

Hell yeah, I wish I had bought into ebikes when I lived in Moorpark and was riding/digging with Nate and company! I miss RP so much.

1/20/2024 7:37am This has been nearly the exact same experience I've had. I'm 44 and swore I'd never own one and then all my riding buddies got ebikes... What I've learned is it's helped my riding more than I could have ever imagined. I now ride 4-5 days a week (vs 2-3 days a week prior to owning it) and split my...

Hey guys, bummer to see all the hate from a few of you but I guess that’s passionate fans in sporting. Here’s the reality. From my understanding and recent reading of the rules, There is not a rule that says you must petition. A petition just assures that you are considered. The rules basically say that USA cycling will pick, at their discretion, everyone who is not an automatic selection (national champ or top 3 in previous world champs). After that the rules just say that they will basically pick whoever is in the top 50 of the current WC...

Lucent Liked a product review An Excellent Value on a Solid Kids Mountain Bike - 2021 Commenca
2/18/2021 8:52am
Long gone are the days when kids had to deal with the not-so-great bike offerings from big box stores like Walmart. Cycling brands like Commencal now have an extensive lineup of youth bicycle options. From push bikes to full suspension bikes, and even e-bikes, the next generation of shredders and their parents are pretty darn spoiled with first-time bike buying choices. The 20-inch-wheeled Ramones is a first-time kids mountain bike sized for riders 115-135cm tall or 3’9" to 4’5". An alloy frame, mechanical disk brakes, 7-speed drivetrain, and beefy 2.6-inch-wide Vee tires are just some of the highlights. All the...

I never thought I’d have a yellow bike, but this yellow is so tasteful and impressive. It’s a top notch choice color by Santa Cruz.

Going from a 130mm 34 to the 140 Pike instantly made the bike more capable. I rode one of my local DH trails on the Tallboy yesterday and enjoyed every second of it. Not as fast as the Nomad in rough stuff nor can I just plow through things, but it was still a lot of fun. Only thing I might want to do now is get a DPX2.
