Sunday on the Enduro, Monday on the Stumpy. How can any bike feel better than this? Sunday Yesterday I enjoyed a special adventure up to Bobcat Ridge in Loveland. The Ginny Trail boasts 2,300 bike-specific vert of (from top to bottom) rocky gnar, course speed and easy flow. Tool of choice: 2010 Enduro Pro Carbon […]

Hey Lee! What do you think about using flat pedals for high level XC and Enduro DH racing? I have been a clipless guy for years but have recently made the switch back and have found that I prefer flats, mostly because they are just more fun. It seems like everyone (literally) racing expert level […]
Lee, Have you given any thought to a 29er version of Captain America? How do you think a do-it-all bike with 29er wheels would go for occasional pump and jump? Thanks, Ben from Melbourne, Australia Ben! Rallying a bone-stock Stumpjumper 29 SS at a BMX track. The stem and seatpost were awfully long—and the 29s […]
This question is spurred by Pedaling in attack position? Lee, Do you have any pro tips how to pump-manual while still pedalling? It’s OK to me if I want to do it on a table-top or with a small speed, but when the speed goes up and bumps get bigger I can’t keep up with […]

Hi Lee! First of all : Best wishes for You and Your Family in 2012 ! Just short question. Enduro racing, terrain is something like Superenduro in Italy or Trans Provence. One day race, total distance about 30 miles. Which tyre is better: 2,35 or 2,5 from Maxxis ? Both are Minion 2ply (lots of […]
Hey Lee, I hope you don’t mind I’m emailing you. I am reading your Mastering Mountain Bike Skills book and just had a quick question. It’s actually quite simple and maybe a bit silly. Do you actually pedal in the Attack Position? Or is the attack position used when you are off the gas so […]

The Weehoo iGo is a revolutionary new approach in the design of children’s bicycle trailers. While there are a multitude of options for bringing your child along for a ride, none offer the same flexibility as the Weehoo iGo Trailer.
=> Traditional bicycle seats, while secure, limit the child’s movement and involvement with their parent, and with riding. Not to mention all regular seats on the market today have an upper size and weight restriction that limits most riders over 5 from fitting properly.
=> Tag-a-long style trailers attempt to solve the size, weight and involvement problem by freeing the child from restraints and placing them (almost) on their own bike that mom or dad can pull along. The drawback? Kid’s rarely will want to stay focused long enough for you to enjoy the length ride you had originally planned, and once they start getting tired…that’s it, time to go home.
=> Canopy style trailers solve the weight, size and exhaustion issue by providing a secure seat for the child to ride in. But unfortunately, it’s usually quite tough for the rider to keep an eye on their kid(s) inside and obviously, the child is almost completely detached from the experience of riding.
The Weehoo iGo Trailer solve ALL of these problems. By placing the child in a secure recumbent cycle, they can be properly secured so if they do get tired and fall asleep (or aren’t quite old enough yet to really want to participate in pedaling) the rider has no worries about them falling off. For those children that want to participate, the Weehoo iGo trailers accommodates riders from 2-9 years old and places them in a great position for viewing everything the ride has to offer.
The Weehoo iGo Trailer is truly the single best product on the market today for parents that want to take their younger riders along for a ride.
NOW IN STOCK AT DOWN CYCLES….rental program coming this summer!

In Bike for Texas (and other) trails?, Scott asked about switching from a Stumpy 29 to a Camber 29 for the rocky trails in Austin, TX. I told him I enjoyed the Camber on his terrain, and that he should give one a try. Well, he did. Lee, Test rode a Medium Camber 29 this […]
