Our Malibu Fondo will deliver the coastal riding that people love. And with us being the final event in the series—10,000 gourmet cookies are a sweet reward.”

“In recent years, Class-1 e-bike technology has increased access to the world class trails and recreation opportunities for people of varied physical ability,” said Moab Field Office Manager Dave Pals. “We are excited to open some of our trails to a more inclusive form of recreation.”

A Class 1 e-bike has a motor of no more than one horsepower (750 watts) that provides assistance only while the rider is actively pedaling and automatically stops assisting when the bicycle reaches 20 miles per hour, according to 43 CFR 8340.0-5(j).

To check if you are accessing a trail approved for e-bike usage, go to the Moab e-bike webpage, where there is also an interactive map for trip planning.

Bikers can look for these stickers to help identify trails open to Class 1 e-bike use.

Mother North is an unsupported bikepacking race across the rugged terrain of Norway, starting and finishing in Lillehammer. The route takes riders across three of the country’s most iconic gravel cycling routes: Mjølkevegen, Rallarvegen, and Grimsdalsvegen.

Stitz is no stranger to ultraracing. He has finished the Highland Trail 550 three times, as well as the Silk Road Mountain Race and the Atlas Mountain Race. In 2021, he documented Mark Beaumont’s win at GBDURO, travelling solely by bike and public transport. This time, he took the concept further by documenting his own race—carrying all filming equipment on the bike—finishing Mother North in 5 days, 5 hours and 55 minutes, in 28th position.

“My bike riding has changed,” says Stitz. “I think we change as a person—we get older, we make experiences, we enrich our world—and of course that changes how we see things. For me it was important that if I go back to racing, I want to share the experience. I want to inspire other people to do the same.”

He continues: “It is still a race. I love having that focus and the structure of a set time frame, being out there with a group of people, really racing against yourself rather than anyone else. A lot of people follow these events through dotwatching and get inspired by that. If I can document my own race and bring it closer to people in this way, that’s much more valuable to me now than simply posting a finishing time.”

Still A Race forms part of Stitz’s ongoing work exploring landscapes and human resilience through cycling, combining storytelling, photography and film to capture places at their most raw. More information about Markus’ work can be found here. Further details about Mother North are available here.

Organised by the European Cyclists’ Federation in partnership with a host city or region, the conference has been bringing together global experts since its first edition in 2012.

Each year, the event convenes public authorities, tourism officials, cycle route network managers, businesses, tour operators, industry representatives and users from across Europe and beyond. Since 2023, the conference has been held annually, reinforcing its role as the key meeting point for professionals working at the intersection of transport and tourism.

Call for Abstracts is now open! If you are working on innovative projects, research or best practices in cycling tourism or cycle route development, this is your opportunity to contribute.

The submission deadline is 23 March! Check out the dedicated conference website here.

“Across the country, businesses are getting creative in how they support people who bike, because their employees and customers are asking for it,” said Bill Nesper, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. “From community gardens to medical centers to ice cream shops, Bicycle Friendly Businesses are showing that when you build biking into how you operate and how you show up locally, it pays off in healthier teams, happier customers, and stronger communities.”

Find the full list of current BFBs here, and the latest round of awards and Honorable Mentions here.

While Bicycle Friendly Businesses can be found in all 50 states and Washington, DC, some states are building their ranks more quickly than others. Florida remains steady at the top of the list of states with the most BFBs, with Arkansas close behind.
