It's fair enough to say Mic is enjoying his Yeti SB140 as well as the new trails at Djuwang Baring in Creswick (here he is pictured at the summit). His contribution to the development of the new trails was significant and we were proud to ride with him there last week.

The @radcycles.au kids have been testing the FUNN Taipan junior flat composite pedals and they give them the tick of approval. Better support and grip makes for easier pedaling and more secure descending. With replaceable pins, seal bearings and a 97 x 82mm platform these are a high quality, light weight version of the larger FUNN platform pedals for "grown ups". Coming in a range of popping colours, they are available to pre-order now. @funnmtb_aus @kwt_imports #mtbkids #castlemainemtb #radcyclesandgear

New bike day for Michael AKA Mog. Yeti SB120 Torq lunch ride. Is this the perfect trail bike for Castlemaine? It loved it's first dirt outing to La Larr Ba Gauwa so much that it took him to the Goldfields Track afterwards. Lucky the boss approves of the lunch ride concept and the afternoon tea ride add on. Full build details on the website soon. Available for demos for those wanting to step it up. @rowneysports @sram_australia @funnmtb_aus @kwt_imports @maxxisbikeau @radcycles.au

Melrose was a bit of fun! We are back in the shop taking bookings for servicing and orders for new bikes. A great time to get an bike overhaul if you've been riding in the weather or if your bike's been in the shed while the rain drops - it might be waiting patiently to get back outdoors freshly dialled. We are in most days of the week but give us a heads up if you are planning on heading in...still appointment only as we juggle multiple jobs 😊🚵🏻‍♀️👨🏼‍🏭🚲
Bikes are loaded...ready for a road trip. See you in a few weeks! Shop and servicing from late July. Send us a PM, email or text message to make a booking.

New hardtail replacement/upgrade - the IBIS DV9. Claire wanted something fast and nimble for off road adventures, single track rides and keeping up with the kids. Michael stepped Claire through the process of building her bike. She has had several opportunities to get on the tools in the workshop - it's great to have such an eager and engaged student. Thanks Claire!!! Enjoy the ride. @rowneysports @ibiscycles @sram_australia @psicycling @kwt_imports

Our @whatsgolden_castlemaine tips of the week shared live on air this week by our two youngest @radcycles.au team members. We believe that teaching skills to kids from a young age...whether it's on the trail/road or in the workshop...set's them up for life of positive riding experiences. Sharing knowledge about bikes is a key value for us. Seeing people become confident and independent in their riding and bike care is awesome.

Thanks for supporting and promoting the shop...received a verbal testimony last night that Al and Al have been spruiking our work during their own rides! This is above and beyond our sponsorship agreement and we greatly appreciate it. Love the show, love the station. Rad music, rad radio, rad bikes
One of these bikes is getting replaced soon and it's not the vintage forevers or the kids bikes...it's Michael's time for an upgrade! Stayed tuned for details of a new bike build. What do you think it will be???
