for our Pearl iZUMi Local Hero competition, and this issue we’re introducing Mike Farrelly, who lives in the Samford Valley, Queensland. According to nominations, “Mike is easily the biggest champion of kids MTB in South East Queensland.” Mike runs Coot-tha Kids, and has even written a free handbook to help others setup their own programmes for getting more kids on bikes. “His efforts have helped hundreds of kids to experience MTB for the first time.”
