03 In Balance 

Do you embrace change or abhor it? Or 

does it depend on what is changing? A 

new workshop is always good.

If it’s happening, going to happen or 

happened then this is where you’ll find 

it… and we’re just in time to remind you 

about Telford.

52 Dicko’s view 

It is a matter of evolution, gentle 

evolution which interests Mr Dickinson 

in this issue. 

61 ’cross words 

It is right to celebrate the past says 

Mr Berry, but also keep an eye on the 

future too or there’ll be nowhere for the 

past to go.

What are you talking about in the CDB 

world? All sorts of things as it happens, 

a packed letters page this time.

FEATURES

11 What’s your favourite bike…? 

It’s a question I ask a lot. Someone then 

asked it of me, and as we celebrate our 

50th issue, I have a think about my 

off-road icons… all featured in CDB too. 

28 From the archive 

Memories from the past 49 issues in 

this unashamed look back at us. Gosh 

weren’t we young looking in those days? 

34 No substitute for cubes 

A big Maico was the ultimate tool in 

enduro of the early Eighties, Welsh star 

Geraint Jones was master of his craft. 

64 The season round-up 

Yes, the last race has been run, the last 

trial done in our two classic series. Were 

you competing in 2018? Will you in 2019? 

76 Single-minded 

For long enough, the big non-unit single 

was the mainstay of British scrambling 

– the single has its fans in the classic 

scene too.
