Hans Rey – A Legend Across the Generations - a podcast by Downtime MTB

Hans Rey is a mountain bike legend. Hans has been there from the start of mountain biking. He was the first rider to make use of video as a way to spread the love of bikes and as a result has become one of the best known mountain bikers on the planet. We sat down to chat about this awesome career and find out more about Hans himself. We chat about some of his amazing adventures, where, for example, he has been possessed by spirits and followed by the Chinese Secret Service. Find out about Hans' approach to riding at 55, hear about his charity work with Wheels4Life and find out why he’s so handy with a machine gun. Hans has some amazing stories to tell. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Hans Rey.

Muc Off







Muc-Off have just launched Punk Powder, their first plastic free bike cleaner. Punk Powder has enabled Muc-Off to cut down on packaging for their cleaner by 92%. It comes in small sachets that you add to lukewarm water to make 1L of cleaner, and the cleaner itself is readily bio-degradable and made from plant-based ingredients. It also means that we aren't shipping water around the planet unnecessarily.







So you can hop onto muc-off.com and grab yourself a lovely aluminium bottle for life which is perfect to mix and store the cleaner in, along with some compostable Punk Powder sachets, which come in a handy recycled cardboard sleeve that folds into a funnel to help you pour the powder into the bottle. The packaging is also printed with vegetable-based inks!







If you want to try Punk Powder, or get your hands on any of the rest of the Muc-Off product range, then as a Downtime listener, you can get 20% off during the month of September using the code DOWNTIME20 at the checkout over on muc-off.com.
