a late November jaunt (48 miles 5.5k ft of vert) over a New England hill/mountain with lightweight bikes on our shoulders. a great way to connect dead end roads on either side of olde trails, not to mention keeping the feet warm on days like this. inspired by Japanese pass hunting and classic New England terrain, my cousin Sean and I head out for one of our favorite ways to enjoy the bike and the hike.
song: "stargazer" by Rainbow (that is Dio on vocals)
route: on my strava, but by no means officially legal if that is a concern

Sweet! Here in Japan we happen to have a culture (though not popular) of doing something very similar, called 山岳サイクリング (literally, Mountain Cycling), practiced even before the arrival of US made ATBs...

The hike a bike is so under appreciated in modern mtb’ing or atb’ing

Only witches like riding on sticks but the most important thing is that you had no reason to curse, hex and execrate these toooo light parts. Such a nice video and its not the camera that makes an entertaining film. Das Alumalith is such a beautyful bike 🤩and for me simplicity makes things beautyful because its one of the most important design features. Liebe Grüße 🙋‍♀

Classic Rainbow with Ronnie James, New England in the fall, Hike a bike. All the ingredients for a satisfying ride. Cheers.

I laughed so hard at the “my hike was pretty light too, and I didn’t have to ride home in a stick”

@ericmarth Год назад

Always love a bit of scenery from your rides, Ron. Gotta give it up for those Suntour power thumb shifters, I dig mine. Others have commented on Ortho Bar slippage - I haven't had any trouble with mine... yet. Running a 26.0 Nitto Technomic. Did an overnighter with 5,300 feet of fire road climbing and descending a few weeks back. And I ride local trails. I'm no savage but still, no slips.

@stephenmorton8017 Год назад

nice pics. excellent ride. my first Ross Mt. Somethingorother had a shoulder strap up under the seat with two screw holes for replacement. very forward thinking, eh? that was back in '86. i wore the strap out. still have the frame in storage. long chainstay on that one.

@etiennemenard5282 Год назад

Recently, a Montréal based bike company (Bassi) have been designing their frames with the same shoulder strap to help people carry their bike up the narrow stairs of Montréal appartements.

I did many hours of bike-a-hike (sic) yesterday. Instead of commiting and looking at is as a workout in nature, I angered myself and felt miserable. I failed to adhere to the advice 1:57 :( I have a lot to learn...

It is SO refreshing to see some riding a bike without wearing a dorky helmet or gay looking spandex and just wear normal clothing. Glad to know I'm not alone
