It is, inexplicably, Friday again. The longest fastest week to date. Are we sliding ever faster, reaching terminal velocity, and then about to hit British Summer Time? Hopefully it’s like...
What is Fresh Goods Friday?
It’s Singletrack’s long running, weekly roundup of all of the new products that have been sent in to the magazine.
Where do all of the goods come from?
They’re sent in by bike companies and marketing agencies
What happens to all of the products?
They’re featured and then some are reviewed down the line in either Singletrack Magazine or in online reviews and photoshoots.
What happens to them when you’ve finished with them?
They’re usually sent back after review, or kept on long-term test bikes. But no one ever asks for shorts and shoes back. Trust us on that. Once we were asked to return some brake pads.
I’m a company making the next big thing. How much does it cost to feature in FGF?
Nothing. Nil. Zero. Diddlysquat. Sod all. Just send all ‘next big things’ to us at – Fresh Goods Friday, Singletrack Magazine, Lockside Mill, Dale Street, Todmorden. OL14 5PX. Please note that if you require the products back after they have featured then you are responsible for arranging collection at your cost. While it is our policy to feature everything we receive in FGF if we decide your product is not suitable for publication we won’t do it. Publication is at our discretion. Whether a product goes on for publication as a review is at editorial discretion. Beer, coffee & spirits will ALWAYS be tested.
Let’s be truly British and talk about the weather, eh? It seems that no sooner have you been given a glimpse of spring than it all goes bonkers again and...
It’s been mixed up week here at STW Towers, mostly thanks to everyone suddenly realising they haven’t used up their annual leave so they’d better take some time off. We...
We hope you\'re not struggling too much with the absence of baby plum tomatoes in your packed lunch, or pepper sticks to dip in your hummus.
This is the tintro... eerily reminiscent of the pewtero but a bit more silvery. What? No idea. We\'re just riffing here.
This is the bintro... very much like an intro but please be careful to sort the cardboard and paper from the glass and plastics.
This in the \'kin-tro... A bit like the flippin-tro but just that little bit coarser. Because we all just want to go out and ride our ATBs today, let\'s dive…
After an unexpectedly hectic - and just plain odd - week of rolling news, it\'s nice to finally kick back and unwind with a nice slice of FGF.
This is the yintro... it\'s a bit like the yangtro but totally the polar opposite. What does FGF have in store for us all this week?
It\'s dark and cold and wet outside, and we\'re sick of staring at our walls and wondering if that\'s magnolia or nicotine, a rat or a mouse
It may come as a surprise, but today is Friday! Yay! The last Friday of 2022. Where did that year go? It’s probably time to sit back and reflect on...
This is the second to last Fresh Goods Friday of the year, so you may be hoping for an abundance of nifty gadgets that we’ve been gathering as gifts for...
This is the inntro… much like a usual intro except there’s no room for messiahs. What have the Four Wise Couriers brought for us this week? Certainly not any gold,...
The orange-chested robin redbreast is called redbreast because there was no English word for the colour orange until the 16th century.
Time to down tools and check out what the various couriers and posties have lobbed at us this past seven days.
This is the yintro... it\'s a bit like the yangtro except the complete opposite. Which brings us in no relevant way whatsoever to this week\'s Eff Gee Eff!
This is the Zinntro... the intro inspired by the author of Zinn & The Art Of Mountain Bike Maintenance (the N-tastic Lennard Zinn).
This is the bintro... the intro that actually got written on bin day (which is Thursday round here).
Everyone sitting bored at home and wondering what to do with themselves this weekend? Kids getting antsy cooped up? Adults getting antsy looking at their bank statements? Let me present...
Eee... I don\'t know about you but there seems to be an inordinate amount of leaves on my lines all of a sudden.
This is the \"Wintro\". The intro of winners. What have we won exactly? We\'ve won the satisfaction of making it through another week. We\'ve won ourselves a weekend.
Hip hop hooray it is Friday! Round these parts it\'s all been about the Singletrack World Reader Awards.
Reassuringly just about lunch time. Chant your \'how much!\' mantras and feel that feeling of calm descend upon you.
Truth bombs: George Benson sang \"The Greatest Love Of All\". Rupert Holmes sang \"Escape (The Piña Colada Song)\".
Bank Holiday incoming! What better way to celebrate an extra day off work than taking a look at FGF618? And look! Thread Of The Week has returned.
Six James Bonds, seven Popes, fourteen US presidents, fifteen UK prime Ministers, 144 Issues of Singletrack Magazine, 62 Italian Governments.
Loamer. This appears to be the word of the year within hip mountain bike circles. WTF does it mean? I\'m not exactly sure. Something very soily?
