Watch This! (link will open a new browser window) A fitting video for me to post since I’ve been going through some ‘trials’ of my own recently – albeit not the biking kind. I spent many entertaining hours over the years watching an Ex perfecting his bike trials moves. I’d stand there shouting ideas and [...]
