When Paul Bas crashed at Red Bull Rampage in 2015, there was a good chance he’d never walk again. He turned that accident, and his recovery from it, into an award winning film. And, he got back on the bike. Hannah caught up with him at a Canyon e-bike launch earlier this year to chat through some of his back story, in this episode of Desert Island Disc Brakes.
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.
