Not quite sure how but we seem to have gone from the very cool ‘No Fear’ to ‘Fear Life’ in a couple of decades. Stay inside and fear everything, cos it’s all out to get you. (more…)

Hang around for a minute or two and it’s obvious the Ibis crew clearly love what they’re doing, are having a bunch of fun doing it and are happy share the love around. It’s evident in their bikes, and in how the company interacts with the unwashed cycling masses. (more…)

The changes I made to the bike the other day felt great again during today’s ride so I reckon I’m onto something. Just goes to show don’t mess with the groove as even a few mm in the wrong direction can mess things up. With my weight a little further back again it’s probably a good time to recheck the sag in the rear shock, especially since the weight I usually carry in the backpack has increased too. As it was the Mojo did feel super plush today and while it might not be great riding technique it can be a lot of fun to roll your weight back on the rear of the saddle and go along for the ride, cruiser style.

I’d never been to a Formula One race, slack of me I guess as the Albert Park circuit is not much over an hour away by car.

I haven’t been in the groove much lately, not sure exactly why though a lot of life stuff has been going on. The groove is a funny thing. When you’re in it the ride has an effortless, almost slow motion flow. Blissful, relaxed speed — lost in the rush of moving forward as they say. When you’re not in the groove though you’re often just banging around, struggling, cursing, locking up, hanging on. (more…)

It takes gobs of energy and focus to remain a silly old man. Luckily these very things and then some are woven into the fabric of the hoody that arrived in the mail the other day, thanks to Ibis. (more…)

Smokey skies lately with fuel reduction burns underway across Central Victoria, including the bush on the outskirts of Castlemaine. I headed over on the Mojo to check it out as it’s an area I ride through often. (more…)
