Traction Coffee Roasters hosts a podcast called Scared of Normal. Their August 5, 2022 episode, “If Not Now, When?” is definitely worth a listen. It applies to trials for sure (I started riding at 47), as well as anything else in life. In addition to the fact that the podcast series is pretty cool, the founders of Traction are also serious bikers.
I just read "The Case for Doing Hard Sh*t: Why doing hard things is necessary for health and fulfillment" on Two Percent. This sums up in part why I ride trials: it's hard!
With winter here, I'm already thinking about upgrades to my backyard bike trials area for the coming spring.
Tom Dillon's post offers insightful reflections on his experiences in learning trackstands. This seemingly simple skill is critical to learning bike trials, and is more challenging to lock-in than one might expect.
