Yea but bike mag, although i do like reading their reviews, are definitely more opinionated, bias, and wishy washy. I’m just not sure I want to hear every bike be compared to an evil following...
I’m not sure pink bike needs to change - the format of reviews is bang on.
So does Levy by the looks of his nipples in the field test videos
Cons: I’m currently on vacation and I’m doing this.
Me: "Notice that every time you call, I'm here answering the phone?"
Definitely not a 24/7 ride session, but it has its perks..
Remote proofreader role open?
destination and or trail reviewer? "I really liked it, but two days of riding and I needed voltaren and pool day."
Good luck to everyone
They have a position for you: customer service.
If you are “able to learn quickly,” you should apply.
Asking for...me
Pinkbike reader: "Ooooh, yeah give me as much Donut content as possible"
Pinkbike: "Ok, cool. By the way, would you ever consider buying one?"
Pinkbike reader "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! F*** no."
This comment will probably get my resume tossed...
Man I wish I lived in the UK instead of The Netherlands, haha!!
The grass is always greener...............
I just threw up in my mouth
Sounds like focusing on new features for the pay-for-use mobile app while the rest of the TF ecosystem withers.
I guess that technically stays in line with the previously communicated "only pay for use of the app;everything else is still free". It just won't be worth anything.
