Paul reflects on the bike business in the time of Covid, as well as why people bike, manufacturing his own bikes, and his popular freakbike, coasterbrake, and bmx rides. www.atomiccycles.com/

What: Coaster Brake Challenge is a four ride series where each rider is restricted to riding a course of off-road trails and fire roads armed only with a single speed coaster brake hub on their bicycle. Each heat will have a winner and at the end there will be a point leader that will be the overall winner. A 20 dollar entry fee gets you entry into all four races, a shirt, a patch and some additional swag. At the end I feed everyone and raffle off a 26 BMX cruiser frame and a bunch of other stuff. Challenging for sure, but fun! When: 1st four Sundays in July 7am meet up and 8am roll out. Where: Please Check wwwatomiccycles.com for details on meet points, hope to see you then! I have loaners, available upon request.

Greetings, thanks again for tolerating my constant bombardment of silly two wheeled events. Anyways we had 18 riders to star and only 8 or 9 got their finisher pin. GPS's lie and they all told different miles/elevation so it was 60 ish in mile with three big climbs totaling over 7k in elevation. took about 6 hours. Rad ride for sure kept it real with the 80's Schwinn Le Tour with reflectors and kickstand no less. Plan on it again next year. Stay Rad!
