Action from the 2011 World Cup at Leogang (Sebastian Schieck)

The venue for the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup 2012 has been chosen as Leogang, in Austria. The 2012 UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships will be held from 29 August 2012 to 9 September 2012.

The bikepark successfully hosted its first Mountain Bike World Cup stage in 2011, this, combined with continuous development of the trails plus the success of events like the Out of Bounds festival, convinced the UCI that it was the right choice for the 2012 World Cup.

President of the UCI, Pat McQuaid, said: “The World Cup, which for the first time this season took place in Leogang, received great feedback from all sides and I’m truly confident that the Worlds will be extremely successful too.”

A new cross-country course will be built in preparation for the 2012 event, which will be available for the public to ride once the professionals have left.

Peter Donabauer, CEO of Saalfelden Leogang WM GmbH, said: “Leogang already is Austria’s hot spot in the mountain bike downhill and freeride segment. We’ll welcome the athletes from all over the world with open arms and make sure they feel right at home with us!”

Guide to 29er Mountain Bikes
A 29er simply refers to the wheel size, ie. it's 29 inch as opposed to the more typical 26 inch. There are obvious benefits to using larger wheels, the first being that you can employ lower tyre pressures and thus use them to lessen the impact you receive when you take big hits following jumps or while travelling across rougher terrain.

Cycling Makes You 10 Years Younger
It’s true, cycling strips back the years and makes you younger, well, certainly feel younger anyway. Cycling helps with muscle fitness, circulation of blood around the body and helps you to lose weight. Research done by the British Heart Foundation shows that cycling at least 20 miles per week reduces the risk of coronary heart disease to less than half that for non-cyclists. Cycling Makes You Younger
Cycle to Work Scheme
Our recent travel to work report highlighted that there are around 700,000 cyclists in the UK that commute to work, many of which are not aware of the Government backed Cycle to Work scheme. This obviously named scheme is a tax incentive to help people get fit, and to improve their health and reduce air pollution in the process. Cycle to Work Scheme
