Issue #136
  #136 On the Web #136 In Print
Cover Artist: John Hinderliter
I-70 Ride Guide
I-70 is ribbon of pavement linking states from Maryland to Utah, and fellow riders across the land share experiences along this corridor, in some well-known places and some not-so-well-known ones.

Manifesto Style: Interview With Ryan Leech
Ryan Leech has not only pushed the limits of trials riding, he has made a career for himself as perhaps the most badass motivational speaker ever through his school tour, Trials of Life.

East Bay Bike Patrol: Eyes, Ears and Advocacy
The BTCEB is the second oldest mountain bike advocacy group in the U.S. When their local trails were threatened with closure, the BTCEB formed the Bicycle Patrol. It was just what the doctor ordered.

Kona Hei Hei 2-9
If you spend most of your time riding technical, rough, rocky trails, and aren't a gram counter, I would strongly persuade you to consider this bike if you're shopping for an affordable dually 29er.

Lynskey Pro29 Custom
They built the bike that I wanted and it came out better than I expected. It fits me well, inspires confidence, and makes me want to ride more.

Gary Fisher Superfly
The Superfly might be further incentive for racers to drink the 29er Koolaid. A 29er racing machine such as this makes perfect sense to me.

Santa Cruz Blur LT
The new Blur LT represents years of passionate riding and engineering, the latest in fabrication technology and the epitome of what an average trail bike has come to be.

GoPro Helmet Hero
With a base price is $169, the GoPro Helmet Hero is a compact, self-contained video/still camera that keeps things simple and affordable.
