Mountain biking is getting old. It might be time to sit down and talk to our elders. Words Hannah, Illustration James Vincent Remember when you were a kid and every birthday counted? Cake, presents, and a party to mark the occasion. If someone asked how old you were, the answer would be ‘Five and a half’ or ‘Eight, but it’s my birthday soon and then I’ll be nine’.

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.
Looks like I’ve got the issue now as well – can’t see anything other than suggesting I join…pretty sure I’m a paid-up member, so I’m assuming there is a technical hiccup going on.
I made a related point on the publication of that “History of UK MTB” video a few years ago. (Too) much of the video was taken up by racing and not enough was given over to those folk who were “just riding”. Of course, this made some sense in terms of getting content for the video as we weren’t carrying GoPros and phones back then. Still, I feel the video was much weaker because of that.
