My Mountain Bike History
Nearly 30 years ago, I got hooked on mountain biking and became the proud owner of a Gary Fisher mountain bike. Although mountain bikes have come a long way since then, I cherished that bike while riding along the Thames Path, Oxley Woods, and the North Downs in South East London.
A trip to Afan Forest Park with my now-former Cityscape colleagues convinced me that a full-suspension bike was the way to go. After thorough research, I settled on the Scott Genius, taking my MTB passion to a whole new level. Swinley Forest and the Surrey Hills became my regular and thrilling biking destinations.
Lockdown!
Lockdowns hit, and suddenly everyone sought solace in walking and cycling. Covid-19 restrictions became our new norm, igniting a bike industry boom. Witnessing an e-mountain bike on the South Downs sparked my inspiration, recognizing its potential immediately.
Taking demo bikes from a local shop completely changed my perspective on mountain biking’s future. Notably, my wife could finally enjoy long rides without suffering knee pain afterwards, leading us to purchase two e-mountain bikes on the spot!
Over 4000 km and 70000m of ascent in all weather, my passion for exploration led to the birth of SixtySeven70. Providing guided e-bike corporate cycling experiences for team-building across the South Downs National Park, the Surrey Hills, and beyond.
