Knee Pads & Roses – A Singletrack Valentine


Mountain bike couple Macky Franklin (@mackyfranklin ) and Syd Schulz ( @sydridesbikes ) have never been that into Valentine’s day.

And why waste time on candlelit dinners when you could be spending the afternoon ripping down pristine New Zealand singletrack on the Pivot Mach 6 Carbon? This video is their ideal date — a little romance and a lot of shred, kneepads and roses. Video by Sean Leader ( @seanleader )
