Check out yours truly caught on film shredding the single track in Sedona by MountianBikeRiding.com. As you listen to the soothing voice of Pete, the body and soul of Mountain Bike Riding.com look for the rider in the front with green and yellow long sleeves and gray shorts.  The film doesn’t really do justice to the riding in Sedona but its cool to check out.

This year was no exception, there were many entries that will take your breath away.  It is hard to imagine that a bike can literally be a work of art, but what makes these works of art so great is their functionality.  So many of these bikes not only look good but ride great as well. » Read more: Our Favorite NAHBS Pick
