Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome back to The Global Mountain Bike Show. We break down the latest controversial headlines hitting the cycling community, starting with a tragic e-bike hit-and-run and why the media’s mislabeling of e-moto vs e-bikes vs eMTBs is hurting the sport. We also dive into the rising threat of trail closures across the US and Germany, questioning how riders can unite to preserve land access. Finally, we're joined by GCN's Dan Lloyd to debate a burning question: are road cyclists stepping into mountain bike racing and ruining the competition?⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - Introduction01:04 - The eBike Problem02:11 - Home-Build Kits vs. Purpose-Built eMTBs04:26 - The Power Dilemma: eMTB vs. eMoto07:24 - Trail Closures and Land Access09:08 - The History of Off-Road Riding10:33 - Sierra Club Trail Bans11:53 - Trail Access in the UK and Europe21:43 - Are Roadies Killing MTB Racing?🎵 Music - licensed by Epidemic Sound 🎵#gmbn #globalmountainbikenetwork #mtb #mountainbiking
