Times are really hard for a lot of people right now, food banks have never been busier and helpful bankers are telling us that we’ll (not them obviously) all just have to get used to being poorer for the foreseeable future. The only good news in all this bleakness is that I’ve recently been riding some relatively affordable bikes that have been absolutely outstanding.
Mountain biking is a proven way (check out the work DMBINS and Scottish universities have been doing for the science) to reduce stress and improve mental health. That makes the fact that you can get that kind of escape economically even more valuable. But which bikes and bits are helping turn the tables on ever higher prices and is this a trend we can expect to continue?
