We're back! Good break? Rested? Busy planning the new decade? Our first Transmission of 2020 will hopefully fill your head with some ideas and motivation. If January is looking dark and gloomy, and you're feeling the effects of an indulgent holiday, we've got a bunch of ideas to get you back into the swing of things. Drop us a line if there's anything you want to see in the next edition.
Starting off with an inspiring story, good friend of Cotic, Davi Birks has produced another banger of a podcast with everyone's favourite Brook McDonald. Back on his bike again after a horror crash last summer, Brook has a lot to say about his accident and the road to recovery in a very real & raw interview.
Yoga is probably one of the most universal, accessible and beneficial ways of getting stronger, fitter and more flexible. Every year Adriene Mishler releases a 30 day yoga course. Dedicate was last year's programme and helped a few of us really get sorted for the season ahead. And it's 100% free.
Turns out it did take a genius to prove that helping others actually helps us too. A recent study has shown that acting altruistically can immediately reduce sensations of mental and physical pain! It's now scientifically proven that being nice is literally a painkiller.
Want to still be riding when you're 70? Well you've got to be paying into your physical pension - mobility, movement, balance, strength, power, fitness and sleep. Cy is a big believer in strength and movement work, and this really chimed with him. Listen to Ben from The Strength Factory explain how and use the special "Downtime" code to get 50% off your first month if you join up.
Bikes are bikes, no matter the tyre width. They inspire us and break us - often at the same time. Now imagine that your teammate was doing the same thing; Hinault was supposed to help LeMond win the Tour De France, so why did he start attacking? Slaying the badger tells this epic story in hilarious detail. Slaying the Badger
RC Dreams! On the long nights when Cy needs a break from designing, prototyping and shredding, he can be found building a fleet of Radio Controlled cars (and buggies) to thrash round his local track. This is his go to channel.
Staff sledges! See what we ride - all custom and choice details intact. Check out Sam's RocketMAX he's been rocking on the demo tour for the last season.
Transporting us away from the reality and bustle of the holidays, Mœbius (aka Jean Giraud) took us to the magical World of Edena. This collection of graphic novels from the artist who helped create the look of Tron, Alien & Blade Runner is a masterpiece of restraint, colour & copy.
June 13th - book it in your diaries as the biggest little race in the world returns for its 10th year. We've had a right run of podiums in our time - check out some highlights on our news page.

"It's better than Christmas!" - Cy.
The Cotic diary is filling up fast with events, demo's and CC rides. We've trips away, local loops and a mega Spring party all in the works. We can't wait to see you, wherever it is.

Look after yourselves, from all at Cotic,

Cy, Paul, Kelvin, Richard, Sam, Will, Hannah & Darren
