Post Content
Welcome back to The Global Mountain Bike Show. We break down the latest controversial headlines hitting the cycling community, starting with the tragic e-bike hit-and-run and why the media’s mislabeling of e-bikes vs. eMTBs is hurting the sport. We also dive into the rising threat of trail closures across the US and Germany, questioning how riders can unite to preserve land access. Finally, we’re joined by GCN’s Dan Lloyd to debate a burning question: are road cyclists stepping into mountain bike racing and ruining the competition?
