Ghost Bikes to Close After Finding "No Viable Solution" to Continue
@theoskar57: that’s all fake news. A vocal minority of woke employees doing their usual thing against capitalism. I just don’t think ghost got the exposure and the name was a barrier as well

Video: Creating Bike Suspension with Magnets
@Jamminator: there’s no damping here which would suck for mountain bikes but perfect for a gravel bike application.

Spotted: Ella Conolly is on a New Cannondale Habit - 2025 Leogang Enduro World Cup
@grillis: the ai offset was dumb but I miss the Cannondale of old. The newest stuff is just corporate safety. Boring. Even the lab71 stuff. It’s just ‘edgy’ marketing with no actual innovation. Boring. All bikes look the same. Hoping they will inject more soul into discrete models but I doubt it.

Why Are Modern Mountain Bikes Getting Heavier?
I think there are other factors too. Trails have changed, leading to a more downhill-focused mentality. Also, the market dictates what’s ’desirable’ and most people end up with completely overbuilt bikes. Still there’s no downside in terms of fun and safety for a moderately fit beginner/intermediate rider to go downhill in an enduro sled weighing 37lbs. And I agree with you, terms of tradeoffs the general public would prefer to winch up a climb for the perfect descent than to have a fast climb to then tiptoe back down.
