Bike hooks for corporate bike storage

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hey,

As some of the guys on the forum know we're looking to put in some bike hooks at our office to create a secure location for bike storage.

Being in Belrose we're fortunate enough to have direct access to all of the St Ives / Terry Hills MTB trails and to the Akuna Bay road rides.... and with a number of cyclists in the team we need somewhere to store all our bikes. Nice problem to have hey!

Canberra with kids

Any recommendations of a place to ride in Canberra with young kids (4 yrs old)? Will obviously need to be quite flat and smooth but he can ride as far as 10km.

apparently there is a beginner loop at Majura - any other spots?

iPhone explosion at Manly Dam

I'm really not sure what to say about this. Shocked

Apparently this guy fell off his bike at Manly Dam and suffered third degree burns when his iPhone exploded. Currently awaiting skin grafts at RNSH.

Warning: some photos NSFW

Bike Security...London Style

Just returned from a trip to London and saw this in Kentish Town.

If you can't saw through the bike lock...try cutting the bike in half. Makes sense.

Derby Tasmania

Anyone ridden Derby Tas? I'm heading there in Oct and was wondering what it's like? From what I've seen on line it looks pretty good.

Picking a New Saddle

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I am in the market for a new saddle and am keen for any recommendations.

Currently using a Brooks B17 which I love for the comfort but when I'm chucking it about on the trails it bashes my inner thighs too much.

Canyon Strive

Has anyone test ridden the Canyon Strive? I spent a couple of hours on one today at Stromlo and I'd be interested to hear what others think about it.

Nite rider batteries

I am on the hunt for some niterider PRO series batteries, does anyone have any laying around that they are not using, or will not use?

[Mod. moved to chat. This should really be a 'wanted' classified though]

Mowbray Park 12HR

Anyone got any experience of this track? Big climbs, horrible slog through grass or as fun as it looks? Assuming it's a bog if it rains.
Cheers people.

Wisemans Old northern road condition

Greetings all

It's been some years since I've ridden up at Wisemans Ferry on the old northern road track and remember it being quite rocky and technical in parts.

With all the other trails such as The Oaks being graded and smoothed out. Has the same been done with Wisemans ? Or is it still quite rough in places?

Wanting to ride there again soon!
Thanks
Tom

Thieves using social media to target high end bikes

I got blown off last time I raised this but I see a report in yesterday's Manly Daily from the Northern Beaches LAC's crime prevention officer that three bikes a week are being stolen using social media to identify targets.

Recommendations:
* Understand and use your app's privacy settings. I have my strava settings ar maximum, with an offset location. However, it is still possible to circumvent this.
* Have your profile set to private
* Don't post photos of your bike
* Make sure riding apps do not contain residential locations or photos of bikes

Ourimbah DH where to park?

Hi downhillers,

If i go alone to ourimbah DH and have no shuttle, should I park close to the tower or at the trail head parking?

If the latter, how far is the walk (pushing my dh rig) to the tower? Is it doable?

Thx,

Mtbnuts

At a Glance Section on the Site

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

G'day, I have been using the site for a while now but I still can't figure out how to use the line graph in the "At a glance" section that appears on every page of the tracks you search. For example, on The Brisbane Water National Park page of the Site, with reference to tracks, it states "Fire trail 15 for 30kms 89% Single track Enclosed 1 for 0.4kms 1% Exposed 2 for 3.1Kms 9%. I've been trying to work it out on my own for a few years and I am baffled. Does it have something to do with how much of that 30kms is ride able because of current conditions, or obstacles like steps etc?
