Mountain bike clinics to extend to KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape

Besides empowering mountain bikers to ride with better control, which means less physical injuries, the partnership is also aimed at lowering the incidence of bicycle-related damage by reducing the incidence of falls.

"Developed initially by mountain biking specialist company, Cult Cycling, the skills clinics have helped hundreds of mountain bikers improve over the past seven years," said Sean Badenhorst, editor of the magazine and a Skills Clinic chief instructor.
