Andi Sykes works for Hunt Bikes these days but before that he was one of the Singletrack team. He's also managed his own DH race team so he's got a lot of insight and experience. Hannah talks to him about cheap(er) bikes and racing in 2025. Hannh calls Andi the cockapoo of the bike world, which came as a shock to Andi, but listen and find out why.

Adam has written a few articles for us over the years, in between his medical school training. His stories are always a great read, though I do wonder how he continues to convince his friends to ride with him. There always seems to be a lot of wading through bogs and mysteriously missing paths. Something that I find especially refreshing is the absence of fancy kit. Adam and friends appear to be largely riding in gear that might have been obtained at an Outward Bound bring and buy sale, on bikes that would make a mechanic wince. His - excellent - writing focuses instead on the experience of exploring with friends, and finding humour in the challenges along the way.

Chariots of Rust is an especially personal tale from Adam, as he covers a series of rides he did with friends around Scotland following his recovery from a nervous breakdown and diagnosis with bipolar type 2 disorder. It’s poetically written, with humour, friendship, honesty and insight. Congratulations to Adam for the award.
