How ironic this article was today?! Before today I was at zero, but now 1. Laid the power down to sprint on a section of trail and heard metal breaking. Didnt feel a stick flick up or anything, but ripped the top jockey wheel off and tore the cage apart. Bearings still there.

@maddcow: thanks for sharing. Is a more complicated issue than just all individually making a change as i kind of alluded to. Article points to the need for those in power to lead. Hmm... An eye opener about the SUVs for sure

@brycepiwek: so give up as individuals trying to do what we can and don't try until the man does? Bit defeatist, but anyway on another note from other comments why are green bikes somehow ugly or unrideable? Doesn't green just mean during production the impact is assessed and reduced where it can be or offset somehow? The starting step is understanding your impact and acknowledging it. The second step is finding out what can be done to reduce it while building a fun awesome arse product that will sell. The third step is building it. None of those steps is make an ugly arse useless bike that ticks green boxes. What company wants to burn cash. We have a responsibility, collectively the we as companies have a responsibility and if governments are whinging and bickering and too slow to act we are. Whether climate change is real or not, by reducing our impact we live in a cleaner world and have a healthier environment in which to have fun!

Holy shit balls! I mean wow, what?! My head is still banging and I have whiplash from that cornering! So so good, thank you!

@eurojuice: shotty not cleaning it. But so true, he can rock it for sure!

Loose as fuck! But why white? Why Jack?

Go fast, go big, no helmet, no problem! Awesome article PB

@klerric: haha yep. If its not on the shop floor you gonna be waiting!

Shot bro!

I base my purchasing decision on who do I know in what bike shop or who is now working for a bike manufacturer
