The Tipping Point, a ‘thank you’ letter to winter
From a crew of lifelong mountain bikers who have recently discovered the world of gravel, The Tipping Point is a ‘thank you’ letter to the winter.
From the creators:
As cyclists, we noticed a clear shift. Any traces of autumn take a bow and we’re left with winter in its purest form. The woods turn to deep, dark, earthy shades and seem devoid of life. Temperatures and traction drop hand-in-hand and rides seem to be first and foremost about escaping the house with anything beyond that considered a bonus. Autumn is long gone, spring is nowhere to be seen.
It’s in that deepest and darkest chapter of the winter that we really found a certain special something. Numb fingers, wet arses, frozen toes but plenty of rewards alongside, albeit hard earned ones.
And so, we created The Tipping Point as a little tribute to everything we as cyclists have experience in the winter and to welcome in the Spring.
The Tipping Point was created as a not-for-profit passion project using the shared talents of a group of cyclists and creatives from Bristol, UK.
