Yesterday had a slightly unintentional disability theme which, I hope, celebrated how people can overcome adversity and continue to do the things they love. There’s more of that today with this story of a group who plan to ride hand-bikes up Cader Idris. Based on the comments I’d say that was a pretty big ask on two wheels and with full use of everything so it’s doubly impressive. Follow the links to support them.
On a not entirely unrelated note (at least one of possibly injury), I have tried to avoid this story but the persistence with which it keeps turning up means I now feel obliged to mention it. So, just in case you hadn’t seen, it seems bicycles are being widely reported to be one of the main causes of genital injury this year. On this site you can also fill in a nice survey about whether you have had a genital injury.
Onto other matters and Swinley Forest is set to have some bike infrastructure development to keep riders off the less legal trails and give them more to ride. I suppose it will relieve pressure on an area that is heavily used, but it does always seem a shame when mountain biking is too heavily organised. In places like Swinley it does make sense to allow people to continue to ride there. If you want more, I guess, go looking further afield and be more imaginative.
It wouldn’t be a complete post this week without a video. Check out some Enduro action French style, courtesy of SRAM.
