| 0:00.0 | Something unexpected has arrived in Happy Meal. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hello Kitty and friends are teaming up for the ultimate collab. |
| 0:08.3 | Joining your little ones on a fun-fueled adventure. Some fun, some food, it's all inside this happy meal. |

| 0:21.3 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the single tracks podcast. Today we've got a couple |
| 0:25.2 | bike reviews for you, including the Orbea Akam-T-R and the Breezer Supercell. And also Aaron |
| 0:31.9 | shares his tips for selling your mountain bike online. So our first review of the Orbea Akum TR comes from John Fish. |
| 0:40.2 | John got a chance to ride the AkumT.R. at Outer Bike a couple weeks ago. This is his review. |
| 0:46.1 | I always find it fascinating when I'm reminded of a long forgotten, very important lesson, |
| 0:50.3 | even if it doesn't really apply to me at the time. My fourth demo at Outer Bike, an Orbea |
| 0:54.7 | Akum-T-R-29er did exactly that. This bike reminded me of the futility of trying to properly assess a |

| 1:18.6 | I was underwhelmed. After unloading at the top of Moab's Mag 7 trail system and starting down the |
| 1:24.4 | trail, I had none of that wonderful feeling I normally get when I mount a great bike. |
| 1:29.0 | The bike felt a little squirly and far too unsubstantial for me to throw all the way down the route back to the venue. |
| 1:35.5 | However, over the course of the next 20 or so miles, I came to appreciate the special virtues of this bike, |
| 1:41.1 | and it ultimately became one of my all-time favorites and would be my easy choice over so many other bikes that I had felt more instantly comfortable on. |
| 1:49.0 | Extensions of the logic of Occam's razor originally put forth by 13th century English philosopher William of Ackham |
| 1:57.0 | state that all other things being equal, simpler is better, which is the philosophy behind the |
| 2:02.1 | Occam's design. Certainly making a new single pivot full suspension bike in the era of |
| 2:07.1 | Split Infinity, VPP, DW link, and decades after the first horse link is tantamount to deliberately |
