HERE IS<br />

MY BIKE<br />

SANDRA — NORCO RAMPAGE TEAM<br />

Who are you and what do you do at<br />

<strong>Bikester</strong>?<br />

Hi! I‘m Sandra, and I work in the <strong>Bikester</strong><br />

store in Stockholm. Working in the shop,<br />

I can share my love of cycling every day. I<br />

used to be a tour guide in Europe, and when<br />

I moved back home to Sweden, I chose<br />

Stockholm because of the amazing cycling<br />

scene here. During the summer you‘ll find me<br />

riding one of the ski-lift accessible downhill<br />

parks, and in the winter I ride the indoor<br />

bike-parks so I can avoid the snow and cold!<br />

Which bike do you ride and why?<br />

I ride a Norco Rampage Team with 26-inch<br />

wheels. It‘s a dirt bike I use to sharpen my<br />

jumping technique with geometry that‘s ideal<br />

for everything from dirt jumps and riding<br />

pump tracks to practising tricks in a foam pit.<br />

I removed the front brake and shortened the<br />

handlebars to make certain tricks easier and<br />

to get a better position on the bike. It seems<br />

to have worked pretty well as I did a 360 on<br />

my first attempt, something I struggled with<br />

before!<br />
