• Sideway Bikes custom carbon frame builder
  • “Did you know there’s a custom carbon fibre frame builder in North Shields and she won an award at this year’s Bespoked” said my friend Barry. The custom carbon fibre bike frame building world is extremely small to say the least, so to find one located 20 minutes’ drive from the Gravel Union UK office was too good to be true. Olly heads over to the coast to spend a day with Viola from Sideways Bikes.
• Travel Gravel - The Magic Gravel Escape
  • Coffee and cake. Blue sky and sunshine. Beer and gravel riding. Some things are just destined to go together. Sure, you can do one without the other, but they’re always better together. Olly heads to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire to see whether the combination of Magic Rock Brewery and the local gravel riding trails are a match made in heaven.
• The Gear - The behind-the-scenes story of Canyon’s VCLS seatpost.
  • Product manufacturers, understandably perhaps in a competitive and price-sensitive marketplace, aren’t often that keen to talk about the design process behind their latest technological marvel. But we persuaded Canyon’s head engineer to give us a little behind-the-scenes insight into their VCLS seatpost.
