When Aero is everything.

This customer wasn't happy with the stock set up. Heavy, slow, uncomfortable.

So he opted for the Vision Metron TFE/TFA cockpit, Metron Disc & 91SL wheelset.

Aero, comfortable, adjustable & most importantly - FAST.

Keep an eye out for this weapon smashing the local races to come.

The world’s first bike craze lasted exactly one season — and gave people hernias.
Meet the boneshaker: iron frame, zero suspension, and an iron-tyred ride so brutal that indoor velodrome schools had to exist just so riders could avoid actual roads. When they finally took it outside, the jig was up. Week 1 of our Great Cycling Flops series is live and it is a brilliant disaster.

Before Lycra, before gears, before suspension — there was the boneshaker. In 1868, the velocipede kicked off the world's first pedal bike craze: iron frames, wooden wheels wrapped in iron tyres, and absolutely zero mercy on cobblestones. It sold by the thousands, spawned indoor riding schools, and single-handedly triggered a hernia epidemic. The small problem? Nobody thought to test it on actual roads. One season later, the craze was over. This week we kick off our Great Cycling Flops series with the bike that literally shook people apart — and we have no regrets telling this story.

Read the full (glorious) disaster here:

The 1868 velocipede craze lasted one season, caused a hospital hernia epidemic, and ended when riders discovered Victorian roads were nothing like a velodrome.

What a morning at Lake Alex 🌅

The Darwin Triathlon Club Mixed Teams Relay this morning was everything — dry season fog over the water at sunrise, 8 teams, massive volunteer effort, and an absolutely cracking atmosphere from start to finish.

The format is three athletes per team, each doing the full tri (250m swim, 5km ride, 1km run), then tagging the next person. What makes this race so different is the vibe — instead of everyone racing at the same time, you're on the sidelines cheering your teammates on, which you almost never get to do in triathlon. It's loud, it's fun, and the camaraderie is something else.

🥇 Team 10 — Kate Roberston / Hayden Brown / Ryan Pogue — 1:00:53
🥈 Team 9 — Kylie Scholz / Andrew Spagnardi / Glen Scholz — 1:03:32
🥉 Team 8 — Matt King / Jocelyn Ellero / Brendan Knox — 1:03:45

Top 5 teams separated by just over a minute — it was close.

Big shoutout to Craig, Claire, Adam, Neil, Trudy, Barb, Surf Life Savings and all the volunteers including some new faces and familiar ones that came back. These events don't happen without you.

See you all at the next one 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️
