Two wheels good
Gear Up started in the summer of 2011, made in South Wales by a small team of bikers. There was G-Up, a monthly e-zine, and Gear Up, a free quarterly print magazine picked up from over 450 outlets across the region. Now it is back with the same idea: ride-outs, reviews, racing and the people who make biking in Wales what it is.
