issue 136 cover singletrack world

Celebrate our birthday – or yours – with a screen break

by 0

Twenty years, twenty years eh… blimey… where do it go… 20 years of Singletrack mountain bike magazine.

We would say it only seems like yesterday, but a lot has changed. Some of us have lost our hair, got slower, bikes have improved beyond recognition, yet someone keeps resurrecting the flex stem. I take a little comfort from that… reassuring familiarity that stops me getting freaked out by mega tech. “It’s a stem that bends… no knobs or dials… got it?”. Yeah I get it, pleased its still an option, but I’m still not going to ride one.

So, getting back to basics, we have a great range of birthday celebration merch for you, all based around the incredible cover artwork.

Hours of Low Tech Fun

No batteries or IT GCSEs are required with our Victorian tech 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Even your grandmother can operate this family entertainment centre.

Getting Dishy

Reach for our analogue organic tea towel when your modern microchip controlled dishwasher turns against you. And it will.

What A Picture

Dwell upon our static photogenic drawings. Yes, colour movies, with talking, and special effects are all well and good if you like that sort of thing. But you really can’t beat the old-world charm of a static picture. Featuring no moving parts to break.

Singletrack Birthday Issue

You know this new world wide web? Well, this is just like that but smaller, and oddly also more awkward to carry around with you. Packed full of a limited amount of printed information and still pictures. What’s more, this won’t let you down, and it still works, even in a power cut (candles not included).

Get kissed. Not Cholera.

Say no to tape worms and typhoid with our fashionable mudguard. Sensible cyclists have mudguards fitted to their cycles. People without mudguards know what dog poo tastes like and have Victorian diseases. Kissing people without a nifty Singletrack mudguard is like tonging an open sewer, during a heat wave, as the horse meat market hoses down*. Choose the Singletrack mudguard and fine romances, not a slow painful poo’ing death.

*Some scientific facts are made up for the purposes of commercial convenience, and your safety.

Grumpy, happy, hairy, overweight and awesome. I started riding offroad in 1978, and never stopped. I was once Charlie The Bikemonger, I invented orienBEERing, the Clunker Classic, and the Dorset Gravel Dash. I own the Bum Butter brand and I'm a co-owner of Dirt Dash Events. I also work at Singletrack, I have the self-appointed job title of "Overlord of the leftovers" and look after the merch shop, and marketing. Other interests include skateboards, surfboards, motorbikes, and cooking (I invented the Beefer Reefer).
