The EU was great for British mountain biking, it allowed us easy access to Europe’s finest riding, it meant we could buy in cheap parts and bikes from the continent and it funded our most beloved trails… but the country has spoken and Britain will be going solo in the near future.
The mountain biking world has taken to social media today to react to the Brexit. Here are our picks:

People should be fined if they did NOT vote at all!! It should be compulsory, then it really would be clear! #EUreferendum #EURefResults

All those trail building projects that are EU funded? Gone. That's that then. Anyone need a labourer.

I wonder how much less the £ notes I have in my wallet will be worth when I wake up in the morning?

Our view
Just go and ride
Most people just had one thing to say though. Whether you’re a Brexiteer or not, we can still all be united on the trails.
Just remember – we'll always have our bikes! #votebike pic.twitter.com/W4WB5NpHKy
