They factored in daily commuters and recreational riders as well as the bike fatality rates per 100,000 residents of each city.

The Origins of Mountain Trail Biking

The story of mountain biking can be traced to Marin Country, California in the United States of America. This is not to say that there haven't been bikers or riders before that, but rather the gravity of the situation taken by the bikers in Marin County was on a whole other level.

 Since mountains are comprised of high and low steeps, mountain bikes are different too. Bike manufacturers started producing lighter bikes to make it easier for bikers to rule every high or low steep that comes along the trail they embark their ride on.

Triumph Bonneville History

In 1978, my father, an original Meriden Triumph employee decided that at the age of 39, it was time to stop being bossed around in menial jobs, and time to start being the all-knowing, all-seeing omnipotent smart arse that did the bossing; he trained to become a teacher. That in itself isn’t all that remarkable, an unforgettable occasion aside from one thing; he’d convinced my mother that commuting from the Midlands to Liverpool and back each week, only really worked if he did it on a bike.

That’s some superstar level of manipulation right there, and it worked. A short trip to a local dealer later, and CAC 726T was his – a beautiful candy apple red & black export model spec Triumph Bonneville T140V/E (it was produced in February 1978, which meant it was a mixture of the T140V & E). I was seven years old. Forty years later, I still remember that time, purely because of the Bonnie. (In fact, you can read about my first experience of a Bonnie here).

Dad was a badass. The Bonnie represented everything that was cool; the style, noise and even smell was just an overload of my seven-year-old senses, I can still to this day remember the ticking noises as the headers cooled down, and leaving a large portion of flesh from my fingers on one of the header pipes after touching it because I was fascinated by the blueing.
