Crashing is part of mountain biking but, how much do we really understand about what happens to the brain when we hit our head? On this episode of The Ride Companion, Davi and Olly are joined by HIT Recognition founder Euan Bowen and Sam Reynolds for an eye opening conversation about concussions, head impacts, brain health and the future of safety in MTB. Euan explains how HIT Recognition started as a university project inspired by concussion in rugby, before developing into a head impact monitoring platform now being used across mountain biking, rugby, motocross, ice hockey and more. Sam Reynolds also shares his personal experience with serious concussion, including the crash that left him unable to finish sentences, struggling with noise, forgetting words and wondering whether he would fully recover. He explains why having real data could have helped him make better decisions around competing and recovery. This conversation covers everything from MTB crash culture, to World Cup downhill practice loads, kids in bike parks, helmets, rotational forces, CTE, concussion symptoms, recovery, and why brain health might become as important as training load in action sports.

Toffer und Flo haben eine Menge zutun. Einer radelt mit Sicherheitsabstand, einer schubst Motoren um aber eins steht fest - arbeiten tun beide mehr als genug denn die letzte Woche ist mal wieder einiges passiert.

W tym odcinku „Rowery, nie bajki” Julek Ćwieluch rozmawia z dr. Piotrem Kubkowskim, historykiem kultury i autorem książki „Sprężyści”, oraz Przemkiem Żebrowskim z firmy Antymateria. Jaka jest historia rowerów w Polsce, jak przetrwały wojny, kryzysy i rewolucje? Punktem wyjścia do rozmowy jest wystawa „Bez trzymanki. Jak rower zmienia Warszawę” w Muzeum Woli, ale to opowieść znacznie szersza: o tym, jak rower przez blisko 200 lat zmieniał miasta, społeczeństwa i sposób myślenia. Wyjaśniamy, jak wyglądała historia rowerów na ziemiach polskich, skąd wzięło się samo słowo „rower” i jak rozwijała się produkcja pierwszych jednośladów. Jak stare rowery wpływały na codzienne życie mieszkańców miast i wsi? Dlaczego rower stał się jednym z najbardziej rewolucyjnych środków transportu w historii? Podejmujemy też inne ważne wątki – kiedyś nieoczywiste – czyli kobiety na rowerach i dzieci na rowerach, społeczne podziały związane z cyklistyką, zmieniająca się rola roweru jako symbolu statusu społecznego. Goście tłumaczą, jak rower przyczynił się do emancypacji różnych grup społecznych i dlaczego do dziś wpływa na nasze postrzeganie przestrzeni miejskiej. Nie brakuje wątków sportowych: rozmawiamy o początkach wyścigów rowerowych, legendarnym Paris-Roubaix, najważniejszych monumentach i o tym, dlaczego Polska nie wykształciła tradycji kolarskich porównywalnych do zachodniej Europy. Prócz tego: rowery szosowe, narodziny MTB i fenomen kultury BMX, którą popularyzowały takie filmy jak „E.T.”. Jak zmieniało się nasze myślenie o tym, czym jest rower transportowy (znany też jako rower cargo)? Jak rower wpływa na zmianę myślenia o mieście, mobilności i ekologii? Znów okazuje się, że rower jest czymś znacznie więcej niż środkiem transportu – jest narzędziem, które od ponad wieku zmienia nasze miasta, codzienne życie i kulturę! CZEGO DOWIESZ SIĘ Z ODCINKA: 1. Dlaczego rower był jednym z najważniejszych wynalazków zmieniających życie mieszkańców miast? 2. Jak rowery wpłynęły na emancypację kobiet, rozwój sportu i przemiany społeczne? 3. Skąd wzięły się rowery cargo, BMX-y, MTB i współczesna kultura rowerowa w Polsce i na świecie?

In this episode, I sit down with Lewis Brindley, founder of Adventure Fuel, a professional bike guide with Adventure South NZ, and a New Zealand mountain biking expert.Originally from the UK, Lewis shares how a rough first ride in Queenstown sparked a lifelong passion for mountain biking that would eventually take him around the world. From seasons in Whistler and Morzine to riding the length of New Zealand and guiding riders through some of the country's most remote terrain, Lewis has built a unique perspective on progression, adventure, and what makes mountain biking such a powerful vehicle for growth.Together, we explore the value of coaching, the mental skills required for riding unfamiliar trails, and how to navigate fear, uncertainty, and decision-making on the bike. Lewis shares practical strategies for building confidence, using points of commitment, and recognizing when to push versus when to listen to your intuition.We also dive deep into New Zealand's mountain biking culture, why guided experiences can unlock a completely different level of riding, and what riders can expect from an unforgettable journey through the Southern Alps. Whether you're planning your own MTB adventure or simply looking to improve your riding mindset, this episode is packed with lessons from years of exploration, coaching, and trail experience.Check out the NZ MTB Expedition here.https://www.adventuresouth.co.nz/https://adventurefuel.org/Timestamps00:00 Welcome & Introduction to Lewis Brindley02:05 Lewis's First Mountain Bike Experience05:00 The Coaching That Changed Everything07:10 From Chef to Professional Bike Guide09:30 Building Adventure Fuel & Teaching Bikepacking12:20 Why Guiding Mountain Bikers Is So Rewarding14:15 What Makes New Zealand Riding Special15:30 Riding Blind & Making Better Decisions on Trail19:15 Managing Fear, Doubt & Uncertainty22:45 Knowing When to Push and When to Back Off25:00 Pre-Ride Mindset & Self-Assessment27:00 The Power of a Point of Commitment29:45 Physical Reset Cues for Technical Riding32:20 New Zealand MTB Culture & Community35:20 Why Guided MTB Expeditions Are Different38:30 The Reality of Riding in New Zealand's Mountains40:40 Preparing Riders for Remote Terrain42:10 Exploring Wanaka on a Rest Day44:15 Riding Glenorchy Bike Park46:20 Cardrona & the Peak-to-Pub Experience49:30 Managing Energy on Multi-Day MTB Trips53:15 Why Queenstown Belongs on Every Rider's Bucket List54:00 Final Thoughts & Closing Conversation___________________________ FREE Mental About MTB Community with direct access to me

Davi and Olly are back in studio for a proper catch-up episode covering everything from Vanta Jam to Olly's dream trip to Japan, Luca Shaw's first Downhill World Cup win, the Enhanced Games controversy, Japanese snacks, sumo wrestling, live commentary nerves and the future of MTB. Davi breaks down what really happened at Vanta Jam at BikePark Wales, including Rob Warner's last-minute car trouble, Dan Paley's commentary, Sam Pilgrim blowing minds, Harry Gascoigne's style, brutal weather, hailstorms and why live event commentary is WAY harder than it looks. Olly then shares more from his bucket list trip to Japan, riding e-bikes in search of perfect loam, travelling through Tokyo with bike bags, experiencing Japanese culture, discovering sumo wrestling, eating convenience store food and preparing for the premiere of the Japan MTB film. The boys also dive into the latest UCI Downhill World Cup action, including Luca Shaw finally taking his first World Cup win and discuss whether downhill racing is better when the riders are separated by huge margins or tiny fractions of a second. Plus, the lads discuss the controversial Enhanced Games, whether performance-enhancing drugs really unlock superhuman performances, Japanese Kit Kats, mochi balls, listener questions and whether mountain biking could one day become augmented reality.

What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Connor Wright rolls into the Talent Tool Shed with the perfect blend of country grit, mountain‑bike swagger and wide‑eyed honesty about what it's really like stepping into the chaos of European road racing. From learning to descend in abandoned mine shafts in Kalgoorlie to juggling Nations Cup road blocks, MTB World Cups and a future Olympic dream, Connor opens up on the wild ride he's living right now.Dan and Plumber Dunc dig into his results, his mindset, the crossover between MTB and road, the teams circling him, the “no dickhead policy,” and why he refuses to give up mountain biking no matter how juicy the carrot gets. It's raw, funny, and full of the kind of nuggets young riders actually need.A genuine talent, a grounded bloke, and a name you'll be hearing a lot more of.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

Orbea ha lanzado la nueva Oiz que ha recibido un rediseño completo en su cuadro. La nueva Oiz ha llegado para dominar de nuevo los circuitos de la Copa del Mundo y para ello mantiene el recorrido de suspensiones de 120/1220 mm, pero es más rígida, más eficaz y con el peso ligeramente por debajo al anterior modelo. Es una bici pensada para los circuitos y los bikers más exigentes, para los que no se quitan el dorsal del manillar, para los que conciben el MTB sólo en parámetros de rendimiento y resultados. La nueva Oiz es más rígida, más eficaz, pero también más específica. En este podcast te contamos los detalles técnicos, que también puedes ver en el Primeras Pedaladas que hemos publicado y en el vídeo que lo acompaña, pero también las sensaciones. La desgranamos a fondo analizando cómo cada cambio respecto a la anterior generación tiene un efecto en el conjunto. Su por qué y el resultado obtenido. En la Unbound Gravel hemos tenido la primera victoria de una bici con ruedas de 32”, Robin Gemperle con la SCOTT RC Gravel 32 en la versión XL de 350 millas (563 kilómetros), pero si ha habido una auténtica vencedora ha sido la nueva Specialized Crux que ha copado 5 de los 6 puestos de podio en la categoría reina, la Elite 200 en categoría masculina y femenina. Además, AMBE reclama al Gobierno de España las ayudas que prometió en septiembre de 2024 para el sector: 40 millones repartidos entre la compra de e-bikes urbanas (20 millones) y las redes de alquiler públicas (otros 20 millones) que están paralizados desde entonces en la Secretaría General de Movilidad Sostenible. No ha sido lo único que hemos tratado. También hablamos de la descalificación de Lorena Wiebes en el Giro de Italia femenino por el déficit de 20 gramos en su bici respecto al peso mínimo marcado por la UCI de 6,8 kg. No nos dejamos el resto de actualidad y novedades que hemos tenido esta semana, pero eso ya lo hemos tratado de forma mucho más comedida. Este episodio ha sido gracias a Castelli, una marca que celebra 150 años ligada al ciclismo y que no solo vive de su historia, sino que sigue mirando al futuro y desarrollando nuevas tecnologías para mejorar la experiencia sobre la bicicleta. Un buen ejemplo es su reciente colaboración con Polartec, que ha dado lugar a una nueva membrana diseñada para ofrecer una combinación de protección, transpirabilidad y rendimiento que supone un importante salto tecnológico dentro de su colección de ropa técnica. Porque si algo ha definido a Castelli durante estos 150 años ha sido precisamente eso: la búsqueda constante de innovación para ayudar a los ciclistas a rodar más rápido, más cómodos y mejor protegidos.

Join us on an unscripted, unaffiliated podcast journey where we discuss various hot takes from the Loudenvielle DH World Cup, risk vs. reward in DH racing, the Hot Laps event in Washington, how to hit berms better, why Enduro World Cups are dying a slow death and why that doesn't actually matter for the sport of enduro, and a bunch of other MTB-related nonsense. Enjoy! Bikes' Unaffiliated forum conversation 

Olly Wilkins is in Minakami, Japan for a special bonus episode of The Ride Companion with MTBJapan founder Nathan Bennett. Nathan moved from New Zealand to Japan 30 years ago and has spent decades building, clearing and guiding mountain bike trails in one of the most unique riding destinations in the world. In this episode, Olly and Nathan talk about the hidden MTB scene in Japan, why the dirt and terrain are so good, the famous "halfpipe"/bobsleigh-style trails, Japanese trail culture, secret riding spots, trail access, language barriers, moving to Japan, and why Minakami might be one of mountain biking's best kept secrets.

This week, Si and Dan are diving into the controversy surrounding the UCI's strict 6.8kg minimum bike weight rule after one rider was disqualified for being just 20 grams underneath it! They're also wrapping up the biggest tech talking points and wild tactics from Unbound Gravel, looking at the rise of the massive 32-inch wheel standard (?!), and debate night-time cycling visibility. PLUS a really quite exceptional Super Nugget for the 16 who make it there!

Ninguém foi surpreendido quando a Visma venceu três das 6 etapas na última semana do Giro d'Italia. Sem rivais, o competente time neerlandês dominou a cena e quebrou barreiras: Vingegaard é o grande campeão, com cinco vitórias de etapas. Primeira vez que um dinamarquês vence a volta italiana. Oitavo ciclista ana história a conquistar a GC nas 3 grandes voltas.Sepp Kuss, seu fiel escudeiro, completa a trinca de etapas (Giro, Tour e Vuelta). Sobrou pouco para os demais, mas Giulio Ciccone e Afonso Eulalio brigaram muito para garantir as classificações de montanha e melhor jovem, respectivamente. Nem a vitória de Jonathan Milan em Roma ofuscou a grande exibição do francês Paul Magnier - três etapas e maglia ciclamino (pontos). Quais são seus destaques do Giro?

You may not know this, but I live near one of the world's cycling meccas. Bentonville, Arkansas, has earned the title "Mountain Bike Capital of the World." It has also been called the "Disneyland of Mountain Biking." It features nearly seventy miles of trails in town and connects to 400+ miles of award-winning systems in Northwest Arkansas. It includes world-class trails like Slaughter Pen, Coler Preserve, and Back 40. It hosts major MTB events and has a vibrant biking community. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/465  

On this episode of The Ride Companion, we're joined by Matt "Cippy" Cipes from Marin Bikes. Cippy is Marin's Category Manager for performance mountain bikes, which means he plays a huge role in shaping the brand's full suspension bikes, e-bikes, spec choices, geometry, suspension feel, pricing, development timelines and overall ride quality. Recorded at Marin Bikes HQ in California, this episode dives into the history of Marin County as one of the birthplaces of mountain biking, the origins of Marin's 'Made For Fun' ethos, how a mountain bike goes from idea to production and why developing an e-bike is far more complicated than simply adding a motor and battery. Cippy also gives an honest take on the current e-bike power arms race, why Marin isn't rushing to chase huge motor numbers, what brands should really be focusing on and how ride quality still matters more than spec-sheet bragging rights. We also get into 32" wheels, XC's comeback, the future of analogue mountain bikes, the new Marin TAM, the development of the Alpine Trail E, why Marin looks to moto for certain design ideas, and what kind of rider feedback is actually useful when creating a new bike. Enjoy this deep dive into Marin Bikes, product development, mountain bike history and the future of MTB!

Esta semana tenemos a Rubén Sanz, uno de los organizadores de Pulmón de Acero, la maratón de Mountain Bike de Barakaldo que este año da el salto a categoría UCI C1 y cumple su 11ª edición. Rubén nos abre de par en par las puertas de lo que supone organizar un evento de estas características: el desgaste, la financiación, el papel de los voluntarios, la comunicación y el marketing, y el difícil equilibrio entre el mundo competitivo y el cicloturista.Una conversación que va mucho más allá de hablar de la carrera y que nos deja reflexiones muy honestas sobre el estado actual del XCM en España y en Euskadi en particular.En este episodio hablamos de:— Pulmón de Acero 2025: novedades del circuito, el salto a UCI C1 y las dos modalidades (competición y cicloturista)— Por qué el XCM está moribundo en Euskadi y qué está pasando con el calendario de maratones en España— La verdad sobre la financiación de un evento: inscripciones, patrocinios y subvenciones. ¿Con qué se cubre qué?— Dónde se va realmente el dinero en la organización de una carrera (seguridad, avituallamiento, streaming...)— El papel de los influencers y creadores de contenido en la promoción de eventos: ¿inversión o gasto?— El modelo mixto entre profesionalización y voluntariado: por qué uno sin el otro no funciona— La historia del Alirón: el origen minero de la expresión que dio nombre al himno del Atlético de Madrid— Análisis del Giro de Italia: el dominio de Vingegaard, Félix Gall como rival y lo que nos dice de cara al Tour— El debate del mono aero en las cronoescaladas: ¿realmente te da un minuto?— Aero vs escaladora: la guía definitiva para elegir tu próxima bici según tus vatios y tu velocidad media— IGPSport vs Hammerhead Karoo 3 vs Garmin 850: análisis honesto tras semanas de prueba— Vuestras preguntas: guantes en MTB, cómo limpiar el casco, alergias y rendimiento, ciclocomputadores y mucho más

BUFFALO, NY — May 12, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on May 4, 2026, titled “Host immunosenescence compromises Mycobacterium tuberculosis clearance.” The study was led by first author Falak Pahwa and corresponding author Ranjan Kumar Nanda from the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, India. In this study, the authors investigated how aging alters immune responses during tuberculosis infection and treatment. Tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, and older adults are particularly vulnerable due to immunosenescence, the gradual decline of immune function that occurs with aging. Despite the growing burden of tuberculosis in aging populations worldwide, most experimental models continue to rely on young adult animals that do not accurately reflect immune aging. Using multiple age groups of C57BL/6 mice, the researchers examined how aging affects the body's ability to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis during treatment with rifampicin and isoniazid (RIF-INH), two cornerstone anti-tuberculosis drugs. While young and older mice initially showed similar bacterial burden following infection, older mice demonstrated significantly delayed bacterial clearance in the lungs during the early phase of treatment. Importantly, the study identified several age-associated immune abnormalities linked to impaired bacterial clearance. Older mice exhibited chronic inflammatory signaling, altered T cell responses, accumulation of T-follicular cytotoxic (TFC)-like cells, and evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction within immune cells. Proteomic analysis of splenic CD4+CD44+ T cells further revealed dysregulation of mitochondrial proteins involved in cellular metabolism and immune function. “Collectively, these findings suggest that age-associated immune alterations may disrupt immunometabolic pathways, thereby contributing to the delayed Mtb clearance.” The researchers also observed that older mice maintained elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and developed persistent lung inflammation even after treatment had begun. At the same time, key protective immune responses appeared functionally impaired, suggesting that aging may disrupt the balance between inflammation and effective pathogen control. Together, these findings suggest that age-related immunometabolic dysfunction may play a major role in the reduced treatment response observed in older hosts. Notably, the study found that delayed bacterial clearance in older mice did not appear to result primarily from liver toxicity or impaired drug metabolism. Instead, the evidence suggested that age-related immune dysfunction itself was the dominant factor limiting effective bacterial elimination during therapy. The paper further highlights the emerging importance of mitochondrial health in immune cell function during aging. The authors propose that targeting age-associated immunometabolic defects and mitochondrial dysfunction may represent a promising strategy for improving tuberculosis treatment outcomes in elderly populations. Overall, this study provides new insight into why older adults experience poorer tuberculosis outcomes despite receiving standard therapy. As global populations continue to age, understanding how immunosenescence alters infectious disease responses may become increasingly important for the development of more effective treatment strategies and age-adapted therapeutic interventions.

Today on the podcast, Jared, Jeff & Tydeman chat about some recent rides and Jeff's new bike build before debating a few topics in a new segment we're calling "how it aged" to see if certain trends in the MTB world aged like milk, or if they aged like wine. Then we get into a couple of listener questions where one listener is wondering if his bike is dated enough to justify a new rig, plus how to select the perfect tire for your bike and more. Tune in!

La industria del mountain bike está en uno de esos momentos que marcan época. Nuevos lanzamientos, cambios de estrategia y una pregunta que lo condiciona todo: ¿estamos a las puertas de la revolución de las 32 pulgadas?En este episodio nos metemos de lleno en uno de los debates más calientes del momento. Analizamos a fondo lo que hay detrás de bicicletas como la Specialized Epic 9, la Canyon Lux World Cup CFR o la Giant Anthem Advanced SL, y tratamos de entender por qué las marcas están abandonando la segmentación entre XCO, XCM y Trail para volver a un modelo único, más versátil y más eficiente.Pero lo realmente interesante va más allá del producto.Hablamos largo y tendido de la posible llegada de las ruedas de 32 pulgadas, repasando todas las señales que apuntan a un cambio inminente: desarrollos de marcas, movimientos en competición, decisiones de la UCI y primeras victorias en carreras de máximo nivel. ¿Estamos ante otro cambio de paradigma como el que vivimos con las 29”? ¿O todavía queda camino por recorrer?Además, en este episodio:• Nos metemos en el barro con lo ocurrido en la primera prueba de la Copa del Mundo de XCO en Korea, una carrera atípica que ha generado muchas críticas dentro del pelotón.• Hacemos la previa de la Copa del Mundo de XCM en Capoliveri, una de las citas más importantes del calendario.• Analizamos todo lo sucedido en Traka (Girona), uno de los eventos más grandes del gravel mundial, con polémicas incluidas y declaraciones de Nino Schurter sobre la seguridad en carrera.• Os contamos nuestro calendario de carreras hasta final de temporada, con todo lo que se viene en BiciLAB.Y además, tenemos dos conversaciones muy especiales con organizadores de carreras que sentimos muy nuestras:Charlamos con Álvaro, de Wineland Cycling, para conocer desde dentro uno de los eventos que más está creciendo en el panorama nacional.

Send me a Text Message!If you have been following me for a bit, you know that the last few months, I've loaded my weekend message from Calvary on Monday's. Gives me a bit of a break and sometimes, it has fit right in with the current MTB podcast series.While this weekend's message, (and thus this episode) has absolutely no mention of Haggai or Nehemiah, I do talk about temples and sacred places. It's the concluding message in our "Homecoming" series that started in Palm Sunday, and it has a bit of a twist in the story. Instead of God welcoming us home...it's a challenge for us to welcome God home!Oh and for those who weren't able to be with us...it was an amazing Sunday. We baptized 14 people, prayed for college students, and worshipped our amazing Jesus! A good, good day!

The Santa Cruz Syndicate has a new manager and it's not necessarily who you'd expect. Rob Copeland's background isn't racing or the MTB industry, it's psychology and academia, yet now he leads one of the most exciting teams in the sport. With years spent at Sheffield Hallam University studying performance and human behaviour, could Rob be the man to shake up how MTB teams are run? In this episode we dive into what drew him to the Syndicate, how he made the transition from academia to elite sport, what he's already started implementing, and how he plans to lead some of the best athletes on the planet into the future. This is a conversation about vision, strategy, and the future of a team that's looking to redefine mountain bike racing. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Rob Copeland.
