Podcast: Singletrackworld Turns 20 Years Old! The anecdotes episode

On April 1st, 2001 (no, really…) Singletrack Magazine and its website singletrackworld.com were launched. The website evolved off the back of the original GoFar-MTB mountain bike website, but it was relaunched as Singletrackworld.com on the first of April to coincide with the launch of the new magazine ‘Singletrack’ which was launched on the first day of the Cycle Show at the NEC in Birmingham.

They’re not even his pants…

There are many stories, as you might imagine, from those first 20 years of Singletrack and to try to touch on a few of them, Hannah’s been chatting to co-founders, Mark and Chipps on our podcast to listen to a few.

They ARE his sheep though…

If you want to hear about the stolen pants, the ‘naked men wrestling in oil’ World Cup moment’ or the worst hangover in the world, then tune in to the Singletrack Podcast via your favoured podcast-listening app and device.

Chipps Chippendale

Singletrackworld's Editor At Large

With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is 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. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)
