Most of us ride our MTBs to enjoy the countryside and get some excersise. Benji wonders why we no longer talk about that, and where mountain biking’s image went wrong.

Help! I created a tyre company!
It’s not impossible to design and make your own mountain bike tyres. It’s just very hard and very expensive. Chipps speaks to two guys who’ve done just that.
