Round Up: 14 Bike Industry Jobs Available Right Now
Perhaps we should suggest they raise the salaries by raising the retail price of the bikes they sell.
In reality the market is crowded with businesses trying to sell similar products to too few buyers who have little disposable income.
Two solutions:
If there were less companies then there would be less competition so wage demands would stand a better chance of being met as prices could go up.
If there were fewer potential employees looking for work they would have to raise wages to attract staff.
Neither solution is good for us.

Review: Hope HB.916 - Better Late Than Never
Thats an expensive bike with no tyre clearance, suspension that is difficult to impossible to set up well and brakes that are not as good as the top notch competitors.
You need to be a fanboy to buy it then.
Such a shame as those things are easy to sort out, why on earth in a difficult market with lots of choice can you go ahead and launch a product like that.

Love the main picture of him walking the bike on the course. Was that selected on purpose :)

Profile: Pauline Ferrand-Prevot on Training with Cecile Ravanel, Depression, Disordered Eating, & More
Shame the interview didn't talk about why / how she failed in the Tokyo Olympics.
Also why did she fail to turn up to a couple of the races this year.

Video: Van Life & Shredding Corsica with Morgane Jonnier in 'Sparta'
I've done a bit of riding in Corsica - its harsh and demanding. Not only is the riding good, but the food, beer and wine fantastic.

Slack Randoms: Tour de France Knives, Omni-Wheels, 272km/h on a Bike & More
Its France, you need something to cut your cheese with while picnicking at the side of the road waiting for the TDF to come past. How else would you buy a knife if they were not for sale ?

Opinion: How to Make the Enduro World Series More Exciting for the Fans
Not every sport should be driving towards more fans, more coverage, more media, more pressure, more, more, more.
Perhaps Enduro is just best left for the riders. Do we really need more social media fighting for our 30 second attention span. Do we need more money in the sport which only ends up requiring fans to then pay to watch it.
Maybe its best left as it is, given its hard to film.

Team Behind the EWS To Lead Future World Cup Organisation with Warner Bros. Discovery
I asked Rob, while at Fort William a few weeks ago, if he would have a job next year as we were discussing the coverage. He said he had a job with Red Bull next year and Discovery had not contacted him.
He also said the internet would explode, but reckoned a week later they would all move on.
So at the moment, without further info I suspect: No Rob and you will have to pay for it all.
