    Tasmanian Trail

    http://www1.parks.tas.gov.au/recreation/tastrail.html Anyone ridden it? Any recommendations? How long? Best time of year (I'm thinking spring or autumn)? Cost? Can I ride a touring bike, or do you need an mtb bike? Is there an ideal bike that sings out? I'm thinking an xc bike with...

    The Single Speed Thread

    Tyre Recommendations I'm planning to ride my rigid 1x1 around manly Dam as often as possible. I have chunky 2.4 Kenda tyres from an old 2001 GT I had (tyres in v good condition). I considered these as they have high volume, which I assume will counter the lack of suspension. Am I on...

    The Fixie Thread

    Urban or Rural I ride fixed in Sydney and I freaking love it. I reckon the fixed gear bike is the perfect ride for city streets; responsive, practical and maintainence free (largely). Also it's the most fun I've ever had on a bike, literally playing in the traffic. I'm on holiday in Byron...

    Riding In Byron Bay?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there much riding to be done in and around Byron Bay? I might be moving there soon. I've just got back into this off-road lark and want to carry on up the coast. It's a very out-doors type of place and I assume there'll be loads of singletrack and...
