    Nice Rack

    I went to the race in brookfield on the weekend with a friend and my girlfriend, and in walking to the event and passing a carpark, I saw a bike rack like my friends.

    Bear Bikes?

    Cheap Platforms.

    Just spent all your money on a bike, but ironically don't have enough for pedals at the end of it all? Never fear. I've been using mongoose aluminium platforms for two bikes now, which would be about 6-8 years I reckon. The bike they are on at the moment is a hardtail, and I can be a pretty...
