This year I helped create a family of niche shipping sites. ShipYourBicycles.com is live, and I want to invite you to try it with a special rate.
This is a busy time of year for shipping, and we all know how expensive it can be to ship bikes and other items.
Keep reading for more info—and to get your special Lee Likes Bikes bro shipping rate.

My dead-of-winter, finishing-two-books, new-dad-of-twins training program isn’t super fun, but I think it’s getting the job done.

The manuscript for Mastering Mountain Bike Skills v2 is back from the copy editor. I made a few small tweaks, and now I’m working on the glossary. That was one criticism of the first edition: no glossary.
So: Which terms should I include?
“Braaap” is already in there.
Dear Lee,
Recently I’ve been looking at the Yeti 303 RDH in a medium. I’m also looking at the demo 8 2010 in a small b/c of the shorter wheelbase than the medium demo.
Some of my reasons to get the yeti would be the adjustable geometry, shorter wheelbase, and longer tt? maybe (not sure if this is true). Some of the reasons why I would get a demo 8 would be that i have an 08 now so i’m familiar with it and the lower price ($400). I ride on the east coast so primarily the dh courses are through the trees and it’s a bit tighter. I’m just curious as to what you think I should do. I’ve been able to ride both bikes and like them both. Tough decision though. Any input that you have on either bike that would make you lean either way in which one you think I should get would be great.
Thank you, Billy

Hi Lee, hope all is well… this is the little park that me and my partner designed in Jakarta-Indonesia. I have build the pump track following the guide from your book. Please have a look and tell me what you think of it? I’m planning to build another one on my friend’s backyard. Do you think the berms are not steep enough? I’ve always loose my front end on them as I get faster…. Thanks in advance

Dumbbells and indoor trainers have their place, but there’s no substitute for riding outside. Even if it’s dark and cold.
