We love a Genesis Bikes Fugio 20 in its natural environment. ๐Ÿ˜

"Genesis Whip. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’œ

Breaking her in where i fell in love with gravel. The sound of wind in the trees, water running in the creeks and heavy breathing on 20% climbs got me vibing today.

Thanks for the hook up."

Thanks for the pic, ! We're so glad you love your new rig.

If you're keen for your own whip (did we mention they're on super-special? ๐Ÿค‘), drop us a line...

Can you spot the problem? ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ

A new customer, who recently moved to Adelaide, was having trouble with his gears following the last service by his old bike shop. ๐Ÿค”

While there were several issues which needed to be addressed, this particular aspect was a lot more obvious. (For those who haven't solved it, the cassette has been assembled incorrectly; look at the sizes of the cogs on the left.)

The bike is now back on the road, with smooth-running gears and a very happy rider. ๐Ÿ˜

If you've been unhappy with the service at your usual place (or tired of ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’ assembling your Campag stuff), we're here to help. Just click Book Now or drop us a DM. ๐Ÿค

SUVs more dangerous to cyclists than other cars, study suggests 28/10/2024

Something to ponder: how the front-end height of a car greatly affects the result of a crash with a bike rider. It's pretty hard to bounce over a bonnet if it's the same level as your shoulder or head. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

(Not impossible, of course, but harder.)

SUVs more dangerous to cyclists than other cars, study suggests While cars tend to vault cyclists over, SUVs with large front ends run them down, resulting in more head injuries, according to new research

Did you know SQlab developed the first-ever sit bone measuring tool back in 2002? This was just the beginning; when it comes to bicycle ergonomics, they've been leading the way ever since. ๐Ÿ”ฆ

SQLab saddles feature an unique stepped design that supports your sit bones and relieves pressure on soft tissues (that's your squishy bits). With models to suit roadies, gravel riders, mountain bikers, tourers and everything in between, there's a perfect saddle for everyone. ๐Ÿ’•

Not sure which one you need? When you pick up an SQLab saddle in-store, we'll fit you up to make sure you're getting your perfect match! ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ

WORKSHOP TIP: ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Signs your suspension needs attention ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ

Whether it's your forks, shock, or dropper post, look out for these red flags:

๐Ÿ”ง Itโ€™s leaking. (Anywhere.)
๐Ÿ”ง The performance has dropped โ€” damping feels off, you're hearing weird noises, or your dropper post doesnโ€™t stay extended.
๐Ÿ”ง You ride regularly and itโ€™s been over a year since your last service.

Got any of these symptoms? Don't ignore it! ๐Ÿ“‰ Click the Book Now and we'll help keep your ride and buttery-smooth. (All suspension work done in-house.)

Now in stock - Brooks B17 Carved saddles! ๐Ÿ˜

If you want a saddle which you can use literally for the rest of your life, a Brooks England is it. Based on the best-selling B17 Classic shape, the Carved model has a central cut-out, which is perfect for anyone who's had pressure issues with soft tissue (e.g. your squishy bits). ๐Ÿ‘

But what are the laces for? As this is a leather saddle, it will change shape with use over time as it moulds to your body shape, so the laces let you adjust the tension. Plus you can swap the colours out, for extra fanciness. โœจ

p.s. Did we mention that a Brooks makes a great gift? ๐Ÿ’ก

5 Ways to Blow it on the Bike You might be sabotaging your entire race (run included) with one of these five easily-preventable mistakes on the bike.

You ride on the weekends. Maybe you squeeze in some kms in the early hours or evenings. But have you ever thought about riding to work as well? ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ผ

Commuting by bike has been proven to boost your brain health and also reduce stress, and even a short commute will do the trick. It's also perfect to use as a recovery ride after tough training days to get your blood flowing and ease any soreness. ๐Ÿง โค๏ธ You'll arrive at work ready to deal with projects and never-ending meetings, and on the way home you can destress and leave any office politics behind. ๐Ÿช

Oh, and did we mention that you'll save money? So much money.

Just in time for Bicycle Network's Day this Wednesday, we're looking at all of the benefits that you'll get from jumping on two wheels in the morning.

Already commuting? Share this blog post with a friend who could do with some motivation to get on their bike. Just show 'em the bit about car running costs. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Wanna see what a winter's worth of indoor riding looks like? Behold! Yes, that's powdered sweat. ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

Regardless of the 'eeeew' factor, the bigger problem for your bike is that sweat is a corrosive agent. If perspiration build-up isnโ€™t cleaned off, it will basically eat any metal it can find, including bolts, bearings, handlebars, and even frames. ๐Ÿ’€ (No, we're not kidding.)

How do you avoid this? In three easy steps!

1๏ธโƒฃ Keep a towel over your handlbars and stem when you're riding.
2๏ธโƒฃ Wipe down your bike once you've finished your session.
3๏ธโƒฃ Book it in for a service so we can have all the fun of seeing what you look like in powdered form. ๐Ÿ˜†
