3 Initiatives at Sea Otter Pushing for a More Inclusive Bike Industry
@synchro: The irony is that you trying to frame someone as gaslighting when they're not is the actual gaslighting. Not being able to find mtb clothes in your size is not gatekeeping. I did say I'd love to hear personal stories of gatekeeping in mountain biking. Do you have any you'd like to share?

@hannprestwich: Gaslighting is the intent to manipulate. I'm just calling it like it is. No one is gatekeeping mountain biking from anyone. I'd love to hear stories if that is actually happening.
@synchro: The only barrier touched on in the article is the "feeling of belonging being as much of a barrier as cost and knowledge". If people want to ride with others that share the same shape/skin color/gender ideology/whatever as them, is anyone actually stopping them from organizing a group ride for themselves?

@meathooker: Agreed. These girls are whining about a problem that is only in their heads. The only real gatekeeper to proper "mountain" biking is geography.
How about they try to get more women watching the WNBA?

Yamaha Teases Electromagnetic Steering Damper
Yamaha...don't waste engineering time on problems nobody has. If you want to be recognized in the MTB space just release an E-MTB motor w/ integrated gearbox before Pinion does.

Sabbatical. Although, I think if Levy wanted to leave and have his own MTB editorial site he'd have tons of readers and probably make more $$$.

Yup. This thing became outdated before its own press release.

What's also interesting is the timing of these headset cable routed bikes. At a time of economic slowdown and mass overstock leading to clearance prices across the industry, seems like a self sabotage for any company using this dumpster fire cable routing.
