Let’s ban photoshoots

No sooner had I suggested doing a photoshoot for today – given the run of unbroken blue skies we’ve had recently – than the clouds close in and it starts sleeting. Typical. Here’s hoping that Friday is better. We have lots of ace bikes to shoot for the next issue, that’s all.

Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.
