We’re heading into longer days, winter is on the way out, something is in the air. Is it spring? The drifting scent of daffodils on the breeze? Or you, taking flight and hitting that jump?

What’s inside Singletrack World issue 154?

Let’s start with the cover – Pete Scullion does it again:

Photographer: Pete Scullion
Rider: Joe Barnes
Camera: Nikon D850
Camera Settings: Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II at 70mm. 1/2000, f8, ISO 640. 
About the shot: Joe Barnes doing Joe Barnes things in the shadow of Beinn Fhada’s northern ridges on one of those days where the sky stays blue, the legs have plenty of juice and the descents flow like water.

And on to what’s inside… take a deep breath, sniff those pages… lose yourself…

Managing Editor

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.
