Pinkbike Poll: What Do You Perceive to Be the Riskiest Outdoor Sport?

After a small amount of digging: Sky diving UK Fatalities between 2001 - 2020 across 5440637 jumps stands at 39. (From britishskydiving.org). According to the UKs .gov website, there hasn't been fewer than 100 deaths per year in the last 10 years (with the exception of one year where there were 99 people killed). (2020 went up 5% on previous year in theory due to more cyclist activity after lockdown). Obviously, the missing statistic here is the amount of cyclist actually on the road each year and the above info doesn't take things like base jumping, wing suits, paragliding into account. Just thought I'd have a look at some numbers and found them quite interesting...

Pole Bicycles Announces New CNC-Machined 'Machine' - Press Release

'The oxidation process of the frame over time will produce a classy patine' You mean it will quickly corrode to the point at which it looks like an aluminium frame from 1993. I really like almost everything about this but that is BS.

Kindernay Internally Geared Hub - First Look

@Kramz: If its anything like a Rohloff you won't be able to run a front derailleur anyway. Rohloff have parameters for chain ring / sprocket sizing to keep the torque within certain levels so you can't damage the internals. Plus who needs a front derailleur with a 543% gear range?
