Even if you’re not a mountain biker, you’ve probably heard of Mountain Bike Rider, or MBR. Sadly, at the back end of 2025, Future – the publisher that owns the MBR brand – decided to close the site. But two of the core staff, Editor Danny Milner and Chief Bike Tester, Alan Muldoon, decided to take things into their own hands and acquire the licensing for the MBR brand. It’s now video and social only, but the two have big plans to keep it an independent and informative source of mountain bike journalism. If you’re keen to talk to Danny or Alan about working with MBR, drop them a message on the MBR social media accounts or email Danny directly at danny@mbm-media.com.
