First Look: 4 New Bikes From Transition - Eurobike 2014
The Covert has at least another year. I work at a bike shop that carries Transition and there are a couple brothers sponsored by them in town and they have the new ones as well as the new Tr 500s...needless to say that they are bad ass bikes.

Lapierre 2015: Three Trailbikes, an Enduro Racer and the Team's New DH Weapon
The shop I work at carries Lapierre and we demoed the Spicy and Zesty to see if we wanted to carry em; they electronic suspension works and works very well, the e-bike on the other hand, we probably (hopefully) won't get any for stock. Lapierre bikes are solid and are good bikes, if you have a local shop that carries em, go and test ride to get a little taste of what they are. It's all here to stay. E-bikes do have their place, hopefully not on the trails, but they do have one. As far as fat bikes (not relevant to this article at all...), if you haven''t ever ridden one, find one to putt around on because they are a blast! I live on the coast so the sandy and rocky conditions fit the fat bikes really well. Kwiturbitchin and go ride your bike, whatever style it is, just go ride and be happy!!

Video: North Shore Beer Run - Fat Bike Growler Style
It depends on where you are planning on riding. I work at a bike shop and we were able to get one on loan from one of our reps and it was a blast when I was able to take it out. It's definitely a lot of bike and a different feel, but it's like any bike that you haven't riden before, just takes a little to get used to.

Seen at Sea Otter 2013 - Zerode G2 Gearbox Bike
This bike actually came into the shop I work in a few weeks ago when it was getting built up. Our mechanic didn't have much trouble at all working on it, except that the e*thirteen crank arm rubbed on the bottom bolt of the transmission mount, which is why the guy ended up going with the ZEE cranks/BB setup. They guy who owns it was actually a super rad guy that brought it back to show us the finished product, but he could be one of the good ones that buy these bikes.

Stolen Bikes Recovered - North Vancouver BC
There are women specific designed bikes, and these bikes are not WSD which would make them "men's" but still not a good way to term a bike

There is a market for these, maybe not in mountain biking but in bike polo. I just played in a tournament last weekend and many of the players from across California had a double brake lever. This does have great potential, just need to change the market. Good luck to the design and hope to see this component in years to come.
