Bike discounts - can anyone explain why?
Over the last six months I have used the bikeexchange site to check on bike prices.
What I have noticed is the LBS in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia will usually be offering the bike at a price below the RRP.
In Sydney, it's almost guaranteed that the bike will only be available at the RRP.
Can anyone offer a reasonable explanation why this is?
fork upgrade

menai free ride trails
hi, i use to ride at meani quite a lot, but havent been on my bike regularly for the past two years. i heard there were some trail closures, but is the free ride section behind the sporting fields still open for riding? i went there this week and it appears to be an abandoned area... i did see some signage near the waste management site stating the afp were patrolling and the section was closed... is the free ride spot included in this???

Bathurst Bike Park update for 13 Dec
Did a few laps after a uni day in Bathurst on Saturday - what a great track. Track is now out to over 8km and has a lot packed into the space - lots of berms, log rolls, fast / flowy bits, short climbs, some fresh looking timber ramps and jumps. Could do with a few direction signs but take your time at junctions and you will figure it out. Suggest you take the B lines on your first lap, or at least stop and look first, as some of the features look innocent as you approach but have a surprise element awaiting (glad I saw the sign on the drop and gap jump just before I committed !!).
The loose gritty surface is slippery but there is almost always a safe grassy run off if you can't make the turn (about ten times for me).
If you are in town it is a good ride - if you are passing through it is a worthwhile detour less than ten minutes off the highway.

Awaba State Forest update for 10 Dec
Trees down on a lot of the trail. Best to keep off until the trail faries have sorted it.
