UCI Working With Zwift to Launch Cycling E-Sports World Championships in 2020
@bikekrieg: I'm planning on riding a bunch of hours on zwift this winter once the rains come (I'm not into riding soaked to the bone, every single ride for months). I would be soooooo much happier if they took your suggestion.
I'm a pretty competitive person by nature so I think it won't be the worst thing in the world, but still not exactly looking forward to it. But I think Mario Zwift Kart racing would make it actually fun.

Final Results: Snowshoe DH World Cup 2019
Always rad to see Vali Höll dominate. Stoked to see what she does in elites, and if she's even been going full gas in races so far.

Video: Camille Servant Attacks the Climbs on his eMTB in 'Climbing Ain't Dead'
@splzed: "A pedelec (from pedal electric cycle) is a bicycle where the rider's pedalling is assisted by a small electric motor; thus it is a type of low-powered e-bike."
How does "small electric motor" equal "not a motor" to you? Are Tesla's cars? And let's cut the BS, the motor isn't helping the rider, the rider is providing nominal help to the motor. If the e-bike is putting out more watts than Nino Schurter, then I have a good bet for what's doing most of the work.

Totally, this just looked like super lame beginner level trials moto. Love that Pinkbike is promoting this crap. What's next? Recumbents trikes?

I for one welcome the downfall of mountain biking.
I'm really looking forward to the day when mountain bikes as we know them (the non-motorized variety) are as hard to find as new 26" bikes and tires. I really can't wait until PinkBike devotes more and more resources to this bullshit so that I don't have to read articles on proper bikes anymore.
What I'm especially looking forward to is when e-bikes get a little more development, so that they become as fast as shitty motorcycles, and we all get banned from trails because everyone else has a reasonable fear for their safety. Also, as e-bikes get more power the tires will need to get bigger (like dirtbikes rear tires) and it will destroy the trails. That's going to be awesome.
Lazy mother fuckers. If you don't want to pedal then get a motorcycle and have fun going 5x as fast for 1/2 the price.

Pinkbike Primer - Everything You Need to Know Ahead of EWS Northstar
I've ridden with Sean a couple times, the dude is a legend. Super friendly guy, really positive, motivated, smart, definitely someone to look up to.
Check out "kneeling offroad hand cycle", you'll see something similar to what he rides.
However, If I were a betting man I'd reckon he's not going to do much of the course. Most of those trails are simply too narrow for his bike.

First Ride: Pivot's New Firebird 29
Best looking Pivot I’ve ever seen, and I’m sure it rides fantastic, but the lack of a water bottle is a deal breaker for me. As great as this bike looks, there are other great bikes that won’t leave me so thirsty.

Pinkbike Poll: If Racing Does Improve the Breed, Will You Trade up to 29-inch Wheels?
I'm not racing anyone but my friends, I'm not interested in the fastest bike, I want the funnest bike. For me that means lively handling. In my experience, smaller wheels are more fun.
