    We’ve had, XC, SS, DH, jeycore, AM, All Mountain, Monster Cross, Fat, and all that.

    So, open your minds to some imagination. What’s the name of the next niche? No need to expand it with what the actual niche will be. Unless you want to, of course!

    return of the penny farthing. little wheel at the back so you can pump the terrain, big wheel up front for speed, and it fixed gear for smoother pedaling and faff freeness in the winter… *runs off to drawing board and hires marketing company*

    Next niche already exists – Bike Friday Petite Folding Bikes – only for people who are shorter than 5’4″ and weigh less than 57kg

    http://www.bikefriday.com/bicycles/petite

    Actually, they’d fail as the next niche wouldn’t they? Most folks would be too large to jump on the bandwagon 🙂

    That thing exists then Sue?! I nominate Falling Off Bikes as the new niche. We all own bikes, we all watch videos of people falling off bikes. Yes, yes we do fall off bikes. The new niche is falling off not riding. And I reckon I’m better than you!

    Kev – 57kg is quite heavy, it’s over 8 stone! How much cake do you have to eat to weigh that much 🙂

    I vote for time-trialing unicycling (not that I’d ever manage to do it …)

    err yeah, I was making a joke about the weight of the bike before I realised I’d got it wrong- nevermind! I’m into competiitive falling off, that’d be fun. and difficult to judge/rule…

    I predict the most niche thing will be

    just riding your bike and enjoying yourself, rather than worrying about others:

    looking different to you,
    riding a bike you don’t “get”
    using helmets
    and so on

    it’s a bloody rare thing, especially on narrowminded trackworld so it’ll always be niche

    just ride and smile. xx 😀
