From the pine forests of Knysna to the urban routes of Soweto, we love receiving stories of Signal riders thriving on their bikes, enjoying the freedom and excitement that two wheels gives them.
To celebrate this positivity, we dispatched Oli 'Pinner' Munnik to various parts of our beautiful country to join 6 Signal Shredders on their local trail.
Please keep an eye out on our social channels (@signalbikes) for an exciting Show Us Your Local competition launching in mid February 2021 where you could win a product hamper to the value of R10 000.
Amidst the disruptions to our lives over the past few months, getting out on our bikes has become a life-line for many ... for me, the Show Us Your Local campaign celebrates how Signal Bikes is giving people of all ages and walks of life a chance to momentarily lose themselves in the outdoors, while still being on their doorstep.

It's Big Air & Big Vibes as Oli finds himself in the Big Smoke, joining MTB newbie Jess Robinson for a fun, flowing lap of her local - ππ¦ππ΅π’ ππ’π³π¬ - which forms part of Joburg's renowned Spruit trail network.
The Pinner was enthralled by Delta Park, discovering that it has something for everyone. Between the gentle single tracks that lead into an awesome tree-lined bermed section to a few serious jumps built on the park's Northern boundary, both newbies and adrenaline seekers can get their MTB fix at Delta Park.
