Mountain Bikes Don’t Need to Be Complicated: 5 Places Where Less is More

There are a bunch of kinematic features that could be moved from the frame/swing arm to the shock. The overall bike would be simpler even if the shock needs to be more complex (and perhaps electrified).

Opinion: The Opposite of Learning to Fly

I don't have the feeling that my vision (though it is getting worse) has a big impact. Response time seems like a huge issue, though. I'm not sure if it's a matter of the subconscious taking a long time to decide what to do of it's just that the body is slow to respond. Either way, getting old ain't for weenies!

Opinion: The Opposite of Learning to Fly

67 years old here. Recently gave up mountain unicycling having lost the combination of strength and quickness to ride the black trails. There's a difference between age related loss of abilities on a mUni (where you usually just step off) and a mountain bike where you crash. I'm part of the eMTB crowd now and while I'm still building new skills I'm at an age where I'm loosing abilities. It is, in some ways, a frustrating stage of life. Having said that, there's a joy in a good flow trail that's truly special. Living isn't simply being alive, enjoying life is what's important.
