Singletrack Sunday Links

Here’s our Editorial team’s personal picks from this week’s headlines.

Mark’s Link: Wanksy Sprays Cocks

wanksy2I may have posted the story myself but I can’t claim any credit for the awesomely alliterative phrase that is ‘Diabolical Dick Doodler’. That was pure Barney. It’s not even a bike specific story since potholes are a pain in the arse for drivers too, but in terms of direct action getting stuff done I think it’s such a great story. I love the fact that some of the potholes were filled in by the council and they still left the ‘cocknballs’ on the road around the repair. It’s the sign of a working democracy that things like this can happen and the perpetrator doesn’t get shot. Power to the People! …or something.

Jenn’s Link: Issue 97 lands in the Mag Archive

Singletrack 97_NewsstandThe new issue of Singletrack went on sale this week and it’s a really good one (and anyone that knows me will confirm, it really does have to be really good for me to say that out loud). We’ve pulled together a great mix of features, and the photography is suitably stunning for a magazine that’s landing on doormats just as the summer weather’s starting to make its presence felt and the trails are coming into prime time. Inspiration for the long weekend? You bet. Enjoy 🙂

Barney’s Link(s): Nepalese Fundraising (see words for linkys)

Gauravman GorkaA couple of links this week, and they’re both related to the relief efforts in Nepal. The first one is a sticky on our Forum, which contains links to donate. The second is a story from the folk at YakAttack, who are auctioning off a place on their Nepalese race in November to raise money for the effort too.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

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.
