    Flats V's Clipless

    Have noticed a bit of discussion about flats versus clipless. For a variety of reasons I've allways used flats, I ride alot of technical terain and I like being able to put a foot down whenever (yes I'm slack) - I've no doubt I'd get more power of clipless - but right now I wearing five tens...

    SCOTT 24 hour 2010

    Since you omitted emoticons I'll assume you're being straight. Without reading the competion rules I can't whether or not your bike as is contravenes the competion rules, however riding either of the courses this weekend without a front brake is nuts. I think your best bet at this point...

    Capital Punishment is GO

    Uhh minor point - CORC don't own the trails, the ACT government owns the land (and probalby picked up a great big wodge of cash for todays efforts). That said CORC does maintain some of them, although the ones at Stromlo are currently maintained by Making Trails on behalf of the ACT goverment...

    STOLEN canberra: "Burley" brand kid trailer

    Stolen from Richardson Childcare Centre between Thurs, 19 Nov and Fri, 20 Nov. This trailer is not widely available in Australia so will stand out. It is designed for 2 children with a storage area in the rear. The "Burley" name and logo are visible on the sides and rear of the trailer. If you...

    Another reason why cyclists are getting a bad name.

    Maybe he's related to the bloke who's been walking on the East bound Hindmarsh Drive bike lane during peak hour over the last couple of weeks. Keep missing him on the green lane though.

    F%#k you Carl Scully

    Or perhaps we might have been better served if his patents used a fresh one. But to the matter at hand - I can't belive he's trotting out the hoary chestnut that rego fees and fuel excises pay for our roads and their upkeep.

    Recommended Urban Rides in Canberra

    Tuggeranong & Belconnen Town Center centers both boast substantial and popular skake/bike parks - Woden's Skake park is about to open but I don't know when that will occur. The Office space in Woden has lots of stairs and stuff that are kind of fun to jump off - and its usually deserted outside...

    Scott 24hr 2009

    Unless things have changed, mtb trails are marked with blue posts, and horse trails are marked with orange posts... Yes this could be better sign posted and last time I looked it the horse trails also included the section under the bridge just before the start of the berm trail.

    Would the possiblity of pump track goodness have any thing to do with recent appearance of a whole bunch of dirt mounds on the XC short course between the 4x track and trials area?

    Is Stromlo reopened yet?

    Is the bottom of Rascles still blocked? Was there yesterday and had to detour to avoid the some blue fence. OTH Good work to all those involved in the clean up and any one know if the PTBs plan on remediating the pond forming in one of the berms?

    UCI MTB World Champs - 2009 @ Stromlo

    Short answer is you won't be able to buy (let along use) any while the Worlds are on. Longer is, over the last few years we've seen a concerted effort from pet owners, brick letter box owners and other interested parties to get the sale and use banned. Currently sales are limited to licenced...

    Bruce Ridge a.k.a O'connor Ridge Official Thread

    And on that note, is there an actual, gazetted, definition of what a formed road is in the ACT? My gut says fire trail or better, but I can't find anything on the ACT gov site, other than out of date maps which indicate bike trails that I don't think are legal any more, and my wife likes to...
