Starling Cycles is now Puffin Pedallers Mountain Bike Company

Previously known as Starling Cycles, Puffin Pedallers was born out of a commitment to the hard yards of mountain biking (and an expensive, cease-and-desist legal challenge from a large, multinational corporation). Puffin Pedallers. The joy of the struggle, the commitment to huffin’ and puffin’ up an epic climb to reach the summit and earn your descents.

No assistance, no engines, no driver-assist style technology. Just a rider, a bike and the mountain. There’s no mistaking the skinny steel tubes of a Puffin, the single-pivot silhouette and the graceful lines. Puffin riders proudly and unashamedly earn their altitude, and their bikes stand out on the mountain as a badge of honour.

When you’re puffin’ on a Puffin no one will be in any doubt that you’re working hard and earning those descents. And – of course – the Puffin is the perfect figurehead for our brand. Tough, fast, resilient to brutal conditions, graceful and just a little bit flamboyant.

For more info on the rebranding and to learn more about the various Puffin MTB models -Puffin Circus, Puffin Improbability, and Puffin Gathering – head over to Puffin Peddalers.

Rene Herse Automatic Shifting

After developing the ultimate analog derailleur, it was only natural for Rene Herse to turn its attention to the other end of the spectrum: We are proud to introduce the world’s first automatic transmission for performance bicycles. Look closely at the photo above, and you’ll notice something unusual: There are no shift levers, no shifter paddles—the shifting on this bike is fully automatic.

Not having to think about shifting is convenient, for sure, but there’s more to it: Always being in the optimum gear also improves performance and reduces fatigue. In addition, there are weight savings, as the bike no longer needs shift levers. Between the improved biodynamics and the reduced weight, riders are 3-4% faster over a hilly 100-mile course on average.

1Up USA 2Down Super Doodie

Do you have a hitch and a digestive tract? If the answer is yes, and gosh, we hope it is, we’ve got your ticket. Introducing the 2Down Super Doodie from your friends at 1UP USA, the leader in bike and e-bike hauling systems for all vehicles.

The all-new 2Down Super Doodie is an American-made portable pottie, and a game-changer for anybody with a hitch and bowels. Samples are available upon request, but we only have one and it’s been getting around, so you should definitely disinfect before testing.
