Re: BikeRadar Podcast | Our favourite mountain bike riding spots in the world

Alex/Rob

1) The trails at Pontypool & Risca do not have official authorised status (although they are working on it) - they are still technically illegal trails. Not sure you should be pointing people towards them!

2. In Pontypool, the Tirpentwys Trail Crew built/maintain the Tirpentwys Trails (the bike park area) - all the other trails in the area (the enduro style ones) are built/maintained by other people.

Hey Martin

The SDUROs look great! A few questions...

- When will you have the SDUROs in stock?
- Is there a way of de-restricting these models? (perhaps a Yamaha equicalent of the Bosch dongle?)
- Will you be stocking the SDURO FullNine RX, and if so, what will the price be?

Hey Mark

On one hand you're right - I missed the boat, as Steph points out above, in that I failed initially to notice that this was a deliberate move by British Gas, rather than an ill timed mistake.

However, on the other hand, although I agree with most of your thesis, if British Gas really did want to listen and respond to their customers, they'd have been better off doing so BEFORE they announced the 9.2% price rise, not after.

As I said to the Guardian in response to another social media 'crisis' earlier in the year:

Unless a company can engage substantively with the issues and therefore is either confident in its position or prepared to change it there's really not much point in engaging in that conversation. If the company's position remains to stick as they are and they don't want to engage on the issues then it is not to their advantage to do so.

Now, if British Gas now go on to rescind their price rise, I'll be proven wrong. But I don't think that's likely, do you?

Hey Anon

Not quite sure which 'digital PRs' you're referring to?

For example Edelman announced their first hire in this area at about the same time as we made our announcement. And they don't seem to be talking about integrating their media offering with content and community management in the way that we are. I'd say that's justification for uniquely placed?

Hey Scott - good to have you here!

We are doing some deep dives by country, mostly focusing on the Asian markets.

Other country reports will be following shortly, but you can also find the first series of country reports we did at the end of 2011 here - http://wearesocial.net/tag/... - including reports for India and Indonesia.
