Charlie has taken a scientific approach to sourcing our next product for the Singletrack Merch Store
I started by profiling the staff at Singletrack Towers, as they are a fair representation of you lot, the Singletrackers. My study concluded that over half the staff are showing strong liberal hippy tendencies.
The prime indicators for this are colourful hair, big hair, and Chipps you can’t fool me by having no hair. The study also noted blatant use of brightly coloured clothing, beer and bicycles. Now, I have had first-hand experience of handling these biker hippies, with godfather of mountain biking Charlie Kelly being a frequent guest on my sofa, so I know what they desire, what makes them tick, and what gets them jazzed.
Head hippy 
Awesome dude hippy 
Colourful “plant bothering” hippy 
Awesome hair hippy
And the result of this thorough scientific study is…
The Singletrack Road Trip Tie Dye T Shirt (also available in plain grey for squares who obey the man).
It’s our Singletrack Lockdown bus, all fixed up, and hitting the road to trip it out, with a bike, surfboard, cool dog and big spade (why the big spade, that is a bit sinister, maybe he is really into sand castles?).
It’s cool, colourful, right on, and is constructed from organic cotton and beautiful vibes. It also does not exist… until the cats have left and the summer is gone. Brothers and sisters, get on the bus to coolville, noodle it out and put your dough down, and expect a Singletrack love parcel in early September.
Win some lube.
Can all comments please be in the language of either “Dude” or Beatnik”… otherwise you will do the brains in of half the Singletrack staff, they just wont understand what’s going on.
The best hippy beatnik jive comments will win one of four bottle of yellow Smoove Lube (Yellow because of something to do with a roadie thing in France?).

Grumpy, happy, hairy, overweight and awesome. I started riding offroad in 1978, and never stopped.
