Take A Break With 3 Bike Themed Videos

It’s probably about time you stopped working and took a short break, isn’t it? Grab a cuppa and chill for a moment.

Selfmade

First in the line up, flying the freeride flag, we have this video from Propain rider Clemens Kaudela. What do you do if you live somewhere flat but you want to ride your big bike? Build yourself some massive drops and jumps! Kaudela enlists the help of some friends to build himself something fun to ride at home.

Connection

Taking a gentler pace, the bike packing drop bar world brings us some philosophy. What if you’re moving to the opposite side of the world, away from old friends? Former pro riders Svein Tuft and Christian Meier trained and raced side by side for many years, then kept in touch over post-retirement weekend bike trips. As Svein prepares to move back to Canada, they enjoy a trip together and ponder the friendships that are forged on bikes.

Imagine

Trials rider Nicolas Fleury pops a wheelie for the urban bike riding scene. If you’ve completed Netflix during lockdown you may have ventured into the International section and encountered a few bonkers offerings from the world of French cinema. Perhaps learning from this oeuvre, Fleury brings us this slightly baffling police chase trials bike daftness.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
