I am a lover of human kind’s greatest invention. The bike is an amazing tool that takes me places I could not imagine, teaches me things I can not fathom, and causes me to fall in love with it. And remember: If Bikes are drugs… I’m pedaling them.Tumblr (3.0; @bikemech)http://bikemech.ca/<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66636398" width="400" height="227" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Cedric-Gracia-Through-My-Eyes-1-Punta-Ala-video-2013.html" target="_blank">Video: Cedric Gracia Through My Eyes #1 - Punta Ala - Pinkbike</a>)</p> <p>woooooooo!!!!!!</p>http://bikemech.ca/post/51020341585http://bikemech.ca/post/51020341585Tue, 21 May 2013 17:23:40 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/349a621ef4e167b7f65c067f2b90bc08/tumblr_mn5s5gKq4M1qd8kd7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://29in.ch/post/51001569322/my-may-massive-mudbath-20-days-into-the-month-of" target="_blank">29inch</a>:</p> <p>Rad bars!</p>http://bikemech.ca/post/51012017613http://bikemech.ca/post/51012017613Tue, 21 May 2013 15:36:25 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cdd02e3273589a38fe219d81e7530aa8/tumblr_mn5y4fXAAk1r7pk2ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thegrreatescape.tumblr.com/post/51007023771/then-we-went-looking-for-the-end-of-the-rainbow" target="_blank">thegrreatescape</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Then we went looking for the end of the rainbow</p> </blockquote>http://bikemech.ca/post/51011717326http://bikemech.ca/post/51011717326Tue, 21 May 2013 15:32:31 -0500adventurebikepackingbike packingcycling<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ee9929951001710c31269730601368e6/tumblr_mn5zsqX31C1s0ymq0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://seckla13.tumblr.com/post/51009658846/want" target="_blank">seckla13</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>WANT</p> </blockquote>http://bikemech.ca/post/51011454285http://bikemech.ca/post/51011454285Tue, 21 May 2013 15:29:09 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/73d2336b62bd1482779078baaae35563/tumblr_mn417tEouF1qm2oo5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://r-luna.tumblr.com/post/50922377728/follow-http-r-luna-tumblr-com" target="_blank">r-luna</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>follow:</p> <p><a href="http://r-luna.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><a href="http://r-luna.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">http://r-luna.tumblr.com/</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://bikemech.ca/post/50985747153http://bikemech.ca/post/50985747153Tue, 21 May 2013 07:42:09 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b0a6895e9674de146026dbcbd96d54df/tumblr_mn49miciKk1qzoc79o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Trail of the day. </p> <p>Who doesn’t love muck and rocks? :)</p>http://bikemech.ca/post/50985716936http://bikemech.ca/post/50985716936Tue, 21 May 2013 07:41:21 -0500mtbtrailmtbmountain bike<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/95f290d329a3bfc15f0b6ce52ecb6d78/tumblr_mn3m478Pri1qiubkco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://instagram.com/p/YMwgDYHOa3/" target="_blank">Photo by dotdash • Instagram</a>)</p>http://bikemech.ca/post/50904766307http://bikemech.ca/post/50904766307Mon, 20 May 2013 08:14:30 -0500hardtail29ermtbsssinglespeedonegear<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cec4493fa101d71e773e81e29b6f589c/tumblr_mn33bdhfds1qz7afco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://chirosangaku.tumblr.com/post/50890746555/passionecouture-behind-the-giro-there-are-many" target="_blank">chirosangaku</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://shin0109.tumblr.com/post/50867327782/passionecouture-behind-the-giro-there-are-many" target="_blank">passionecouture: Behind the #Giro there are many… - I’m Bicycle Geek!</a></p> </blockquote>http://bikemech.ca/post/50904194988http://bikemech.ca/post/50904194988Mon, 20 May 2013 08:00:57 -0500bicyclebikemechaniccyclingvttvelo<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f08b9838bb832aba016f3a48eeb0be76/tumblr_mn3b454jvd1s8fgbqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bikemech.ca/post/50904012185http://bikemech.ca/post/50904012185Mon, 20 May 2013 07:56:34 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/52313f436b882f4bb882c6b49aae00e3/tumblr_mn2yce9RKk1qgf0h7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Trail of the day.</p> <p>Wood, heck yeah!

I see a growing trend of companies making flat bars once more, and bike manufacturers choosing the install them as oem product. I&#8217;ve always been a riser bar user, with the exception of my small divergence into alt bars such as the salsa woodchipper. </p> <p>What are your thoughts? Why are flat bars a growing trend? Are they better for trail riding?</p>http://bikemech.ca/post/50738475269http://bikemech.ca/post/50738475269Sat, 18 May 2013 11:41:00 -0500cyclingmtbmountain bikevttvelobikemechanicqotdbicycle29erhardtail<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66418749" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Nico Lau - Slo Mo (by <a href="https://vimeo.com/66418749#" target="_blank">I-MTB</a>)</p> <p>Sometimes things get rowdy!</p>http://bikemech.ca/post/50670213731http://bikemech.ca/post/50670213731Fri, 17 May 2013 14:52:05 -0500
