Bike Magazine Gag
The friendly crew at Bike Magazine shipped me a special bike last week, it’s called the sh*tbike. Have you heard of it? Do you remember those softride bikes from years ago, that’s what it is, and they send it to a variety of riders and to a variety of pros to do their thing on. For me, I had to do trials. Sketchy.
I met up with senior photographer at Bike Magazine, Dan Barham, to do a photoshoot on the thing. That’s Dan and the bike in the picture below. I now have to write down ten things I learned by riding the sh*tbike.
You can see in the image there is a yellow strap on the softride beam and the toptube. I tightened that up to give myself an extra little bit of saddle clearance for bunnyhopping over a little stream. –RL

Ha ha, the sh*tbike lives! You should have just removed the beam entirely

RL, brilliant connecting today. Looking forward to further collab. Glad the sh*tbike didn’t kill you!
