May 25, 2020 BikeRadar Meets | Chris Porter pt.1
In this podcast Technical Writer Seb Stott meets Chris Porter, the man behind Geometron Bikes and Mojo Rising suspension. He’s a man who’s been heavily involved in mountain bike and suspension design for decades, playing an influential part in the development of bike geometry, certainly in recent years.

With experience ranging from motor bike journalism to DH racing and management, as well as the development of his own bikes and suspension products, he’s a wealth of knowledge and ideas on the subject.

This is a long interview, so we’ve split it in to two parts, with the second coming shortly. This podcast does include some strong language.

May 22, 2020 Our bicycle commuting top tips
With £2bn pledged for green transport in the UK following the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK, there’s great potential to get more bums on saddles when it comes to the daily commute. Cycling to work is healthy, cheap and often faster than driving through a city – it’s also preferable to sitting on crowded public transport!

Between our technical editors Tom and Alex, and Content Director Rob, we’ve amassed decades of commutes over many thousands of hours – from hour long rides each way to short spins through town. We therefore thought we’d share our top tips to help you make the most of your cycle commute. We cover the bike you have, or might want, kit to ride in, and a host of other bits and pieces.

May 18, 2020 Road Tech Talk | Are road e-bikes cheating?
The debate has raged for years in mountain biking, but with electric-assisted road bikes having a growing presence on the road, we debate whether they’re ‘cheating’ or just another way to get out on two wheels and enjoy the roads.
Our Senior Road Technical Editor Warren is a big fan, citing the ability to explore further, and getting those less able out on the roads, whereas Simon Bromley, BikeRadar’s Tech Writer is a little less convinced.

May 11, 2020 How much should you spend on your next mountain bike?
While it’s easy to get drawn into the assumption that you need to spend thousands on your next mountain bike, that’s not necessarily the case.
Tom and Seb go through the price ranges, and discuss what you can get, what to expect and the pros and cons of spending a little, or a lot, on your next mountain bike – with a few recommendations chucked in along the way.
