New book captures the mountain-biking trails of New Zealand
environment 38 minutes ago Roughly thirty years ago a revolution took place in the world of adventure biking. It was the advent of suspension - something many riders probably take for granted - but it was key to improving off-road performance and allowing the sport of mountain-biking to take off. Now a new book, edited by Wanaka-based film-maker Nick Stevenson, showcases the best of what New Zealand has to offer mountain-bikers. It's choc-full of stunning imagery taken from photographers with a real passion for the sport themselves. Nick joins Kathryn to talk about Eden: A portrait of mountain biking in Aotearoa New Zealand, and his own interest in biking.
