Skinny Hero, or Skinny Zero?
After driving past a park with plenty of telephone pole skinny lines I wanted to ride, I finally decided to try a bike trials practice session there.

Mike Steidley and I spent several hours riding the rocks along the Narragansett coast. My competition trials bike is still broken, so I rode my Inspired Arcade.
The rain started just as we began riding, making the wooden features of the trials park wet and slippery. And a load of cops showed up!
It was a gorgeous afternoon. There were lots of lines and obstacles to ride. Everything was going well, until… it wasn’t.
Mike and I rode our trials bikes all over the rocky Narragansett shoreline ledge. Even though only two of us showed up, I’ll still consider it a group.
In one week the temperatures went from January to August. It was around 80F today, and the gnats were doing their best to swarm our faces while we rode.
In an effort to consolidate various sources of information related to bike trials competitions and other events, we’ve created a new trials events calendar.
I was surprised when I opened up the basement door that morning to bring my trials bike out to my car only to find a blanket of snow covering the backyard.
Vlasta Kabeláč Čiháček, an accomplished elite level trials rider from the Czech Republic, joined our crew for two days of riding.
You can still ride your trials bike without a front wheel (sort of), but dropping the forks onto the ground might be an unpleasant experience.
