Will Mountain Bikes Be Allowed in US Wilderness Areas Any Time Soon?
I think if you're going to protect wilderness, then ban everyone. To allow hikers, trail runners and horse riders "because heritage" and ban MTBEers simply because it's the "new kid on the block" is unfair, and undemocratic. Heritage must go suck on a lemon. It's not a valid reason. It's just a fancy way of saying "nahhhh na nan na we were here first".

Qualifying Results: Downhill Southeast - Windrock II 2020
Nice one Charlie! I'm just curious... Did they take any covid precautions at the event, or was it business as usual?

It's as easy as going CTRL-F on a PDF document... the list can be as long as required.

Totally lame that UCI didn't give a retrospective TUE, given the known circumstances.
That said, a complete list of prohibited substances is available for download as a PDF from the WADA website, which would negate the need for internet at the time of taking any drug - every phone and laptop in the paddock should have a copy of it.

May 25, 2014Kona Hahanna
$200 GBP1995 Kona Hahanna - a classic bike in brilliant condition - it has been sitting in my shed for the last two years (since bought) and only ridden to work a few times.
Almost original spec, and still riding like a dream. Specs as follows:
Kona Race Light steel frame with Project 2 forks, original stem and handlebars.
Original Shimano Acera X drive train and brakes.
Original Sun rims, straight and true, running on Acera X parallax hubs.
Michelin tyres - excellent for commuting in all conditions, and puncture resistant.
Aluminium seat post with a cushy WTB saddle.
Minor scratches here and there - the worst nick is shown in the attached photos - but otherwise excellent condition for a 20 year old bike!
I have serviced the headset, which is in excellent condition, as well as the brakes and gears. I wish the gears on all my bikes shifted as sweetly as these ones do. I guess they don't make them like they used to! Have also upgraded to lock-on grips, and aluminium pedals.
The bike would make a brilliant commuter (and deserves to be out there rather than gathering dust in a shed), especially for the discerning hipster with good taste in classic mountain bikes! :P
It must be seen and ridden!
You may collect in person in Putney (this is preferable), or I am willing to box it up if you arrange collection by a courier.
