How To Take Your Kids Mountain Biking Without Ruining the Fun

The new Yepp2 is much better. I ride no problems on my S4 sized Kenevo SL with my daughter. I wouldn't do trails with her in a seat anyway where it would be a problem.

How To Take Your Kids Mountain Biking Without Ruining the Fun

If they're younger, rather use a Thule Yepp2 seat. My daughter just hit 15kg (2 years, 7 months), so it's time for something new. We roll the local greenbelts in summer and she loves it, shouting FASTER FASTER. It's amazing. But also to the excited new dads. DO NOT RIDE TOO EARLY, it's fucking bad for their necks. I waited until 20 months as per my buddy who does kids surgery advice. (for what it's worth we call him "Pedo"). And she's just started rolling properly on her balance bike and going recklessly fast driving my risk-adverse wife insane. It's fucking glorious.

Editors' Picks: Our Top Clipless MTB Shoes for 2026

I saw someone riding Chatel bike park in those Shimano Sandles last year on a Canyon Sender. No socks even. The whole queue to get back to the top on the lift I think I was staring at his feet like some weirdo. I was in shock.

Throwback Thursday: 'Life Cycles' - The Greatest Mountain Bike Movie Ever Made?

I loved this film when it came out. Bought it and watched it loads of times. Really was brilliant, but not my best.

Is the UCI World Cup Prize Money Model Broken? Wyn Masters Exposes Payout Disparities

1000% The income from charging to watch cant be insignificant, but also it cant be a huge bottom line generator, so could be free with some advertising etc. That said, perhaps the broadcasters picking up the broadcasts complain? And secondly when Whoop goes out of biz next year, who is supporting?

@bgoldstone: technically they didn't go bankrupt, they just had the promised support (ongoing) pulled. My good friend is literally the organiser.
