  • Paul Ellis from Hed tells us about his ethereal 9:Zero:7
  • We’ve got some new gear in the Test Kitchen
  • and what goes better with bikes than –  BEER!

What’s in the fat-bike radio cooler this week? New Holland Monkey King – Monkey King is a Farmhouse Ale – 6.6 % alchahooze and scores a 23 on the IBU test.
