The discussion about mountain biking is nothing new, but it is usually polemical. The exchange between the three protagonists is interesting in that it is conducted at a very high level without being at home in one of the scenes concerned.

The podcast discussion is led by a German, a Swiss and an Austrian. This means that the significantly different perspectives and starting points of the three neighboring countries are audibly incorporated.

Apart from the fact that the Alps podcast is worth listening to overall, this episode is particularly so. You can listen to it here (or on Apple, Spotify,...): zeit.de/society/2024-04/mountainbike-forest-trails-alpine-podcast
