Are There Too Many Mountain Bike Brands? | Dirt Shed Show 470

This week on the GMBN Dirt Shed Show, Martyn Ashton is joined by Blake Samson to ask the question, are there too many bike brands? 🚴‍♀️ Following a discussion about the car and motorcycle industry, which has far fewer brands. We love the diversity of the 150+ bicycle brands but are there too many? 🤔

Plus MTB News, Sickest Thing, Hacks And Bodges, Caption Contest, and we check out some super nice MTBs locked away in the Bike Vault!⁠
