The Death Of Derailleurs? Avinox Announces Motor "Gearbox" - Eurobike 2026
@chaonatic: I’m mostly thinking about the potential incidents between unskilled riders charging at 20-30 mph on flat and uphill sections with blind turns. The trails in Laguna Beach and across OC Parks are a great example of this, where bikers are already on a tight leash with trail access. Any incident or evidence of wrongdoing is easily used to limit trail use instead of advocating for dedicated biking and hiking trails. I personally ride E bikes and have no agenda against them, I’ve just seen these moments happen on the trail. In an ideal world everyone would have their dedicated space, but overdevelopment and red tape pose a complex issue that I think these hyper powerful and fast e-bikes complicate even further. I’m sure this problem also differs greatly depending on geographic location.

I can't help but feel that this sort of stuff will be the death of multi-use trail systems

The Pinkbike Podcast: MTB Fashion Failures & Tedious Trends
Great episode, just as I'm sitting at home freaking out about the state of mountain bike clothing lol. Am I the only big-legged person who feels like mountain bike pants are far too tight these days?

Broadcast Details & Commentators Revealed for the 2023 World Cups
Drone footage has never really felt like a plus to me. At Rotorua they were so close to the riders it showed nothing and certainly has to be challenging to deal with as a rider. I see how it could be cool, but it's just never been implemented in a way that feels beneficial to the coverage. Will be interesting to see how much more comprehensive the coverage is now, hoping for the best!

Qualifying Results from the Snowshoe DH World Cup 2022
Points! The overall has been lost in qualifying results before, so it's definitely a game of points.
