Fresh Goods Friday

FGF is often a series of photos of bad modelling, so it seems in keeping to share some wedding dress shopping nonsense.

Hello, good evening and welcome to this week’s Eff Gee Eff. It must be evening somewhere, right? We’ve been struggling for instrospiration this week, possibly due to motivation being carried…

Enough with the chocolate, it's time for everyone's favourite end-of-the-week shiny bits showcase: Fresh Goods Friday!

Let’s start out with something approaching normal service… For the CNC and skate nerds, it’s kinda cool, but also seems like a vest waste of metal. Beware the wormhole that…

Mmm… Pentax 645. Benji wrote that, and then went on holiday. So who knows? What sort of ‘Mmm’ is it? Perhaps it’s a ‘Mmm’ of the variety you give to…

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…

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 shintro... coming at you like a BMX shark bite pedal at your 1980s shins.

This is the tintro... eerily reminiscent of the pewtero but a bit more silvery. What? No idea. We're just riffing here.

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.

Hip hop hooray it is Friday! Round these parts it's all been about the Singletrack World Reader Awards.

Have you made the switch to soup yet? Or are you still bringing a sandwich in your packed lunch?

Reassuringly just about lunch time. Chant your 'how much!' mantras and feel that feeling of calm descend upon you.

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?

It's peak holiday season and we've installed a revolving door at the front of Singletrack Towers to deal with the high turnover of suntanned/stressed-out staff.

It's a photo-heavy edition of Fresh Goods Friday this week. We hope your broadband connection or cellular data network can handle it!

Hello? Is there anybody there? Can anybody hear me? The mass exodus continues. Cliff Richard has taken everybody on a summer holiday.

We hope you, your pets, your plants and so on all made it through the extreme heat this week, and if you have got school holiday getaways, may they go…

Ride your bike. Stay in the trees. Plot routes near watering holes (AKA 'shops'). Strap another bottle cage on to your bike/body. Sun cream.

I'm writing this with stinging fingers. Summer is well and true upon us. The trails have grown their hair out and every ride sees regular brushes with nettles, brambles and…

The Tour Of The France begins today. But before you open up a browser tab to listen/watch the opening stage (which is probably a time trial in Denmark somewhere IIRC),…

I (Amanda), am in the Lake District with Benji and Mark, fumbling around with bikes and cameras. It’s far too rare an occasion that this job actually takes us outside…

We trust you’ve had a most splendid week. If you haven’t, we’re sorry about that. There’s always next week. This too shall pass. Anyway. Here’s this week’s Fresh Goods for…

Whether you’re dodging your neighbours at a street party, or just trying to drown out the fact they’ve decided to spend the entire bank holiday jet washing their patio, you’ve…

Please try and keep those forelocks untugged for a few more days as we delve into the People's Republic of Fresh Goods.

As real life feels more and more like the opening fifteen minutes of Threads (sorry!), let's console ourselves with some product gawping.
