Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.

  1. Camelbac??? this has been done with plastic bottles for ages…. clear plastic bottle in sunlight for one hour…and voila! germ free! well almost!

    What a gadget though! B-)

  3. The bottle it comes with is oversized and for some odd test passing reasons it had to be but conveniently the top part (with all the UV gubbins in) screws on to a standard water bottle.

  5. the_lecht_rocks. in the uk are water is safe to drink from the tap many parts of the world are not, you can risk it if you want others would rather be safe. not gimmick

  7. They have a coffee style filter system for just such a situation that you need to filter out particles too.. They have actually (shock horror!) done some research into this kind of stuff before launching. I know that may be hard to come to terms with.. They ARE a commercial company after all 🙂
