IMBA UK The UK arm of the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), setup to help secure areas for mountain biking and to provide advice on trailbuilding and management of mountain biking areas.
Bucks MTB Another Chiltern based bike club run by some sound guys - Mostly to be found ripping up Aston Hill, they're worth a look if you're wanting downhill stuff in the Chilterns.
Beds Fat Trax Based in Bedsfordshire and mainly focussed on riding at Chicksands and developing that area - they currently have a freeride area, north shore trails, a dual course and some dirt jumps. Expanding to include more diverse trails and a 4X course.
Bike Shops - Real & Online
Saddle Safari The first of our 'friendly' bikeshops, who offer us a 10% discount. Nice little shop in Marlow, Bucks, with plenty of stock and rapid ordering.
Pedal On Bikes Our second 'friendly' bike shop, located in Tadley, Hampshire. They stock Trek and Klein and loads of other stuff too.
Cyclecare Located in High Wycombe, stockists for Scott and Marin amongst other things. Very helpful shop with good workshop.
Chain Reaction For just about all of your online bike purchasing requirements, and post-free too. Definitely worth a look after the Chilty winter mud has destroyed your drivetrain.
Wiggle Another online mail order bike shop - often stocks different brands to Chain Reaction and also offers fre delivery.
News, Views & Forums
Bikemagic Where it all started for the C1XV, but we've got our own forum now, so we don't bother using theirs. Website has reasonable news and reviews section and they even put up things Al's written occasionally.
Singletrack Producers of the decidely singlespeeding, northern-being, Whisky-drinking, bothy-staying Singletrack magazine, with a forum populated by numpties that is allegedly the UK's busiest to do with cycling.
Chocolatefoot Website and forum - good for the UK 'freeride' scene stuff, mostly Chicksands, North Downs, Esher and the infamous Herts shore related, but worth a look for great pictures and video links of Jedi and the council. Just don't take the forum too seriously!
MTB Review The biggest collection MTB related reviews on everything from bikes to bells and tyres to trinkets. Fairly State-side biased, but an unmissable resource if you're looking for some new kit. Also have forums and gallery section.
Pinkbike Canadian site with good selection of news articles, reviews and video links for those with Darkside tendencies. Also has an extensive forum.
NSMB North Shore Mountain Biking - Another Canadian site, based in B.C. - good for freeride news, kit reviews and general fro stuff.
