Miles Arbour is a university business graduate, has training in outdoor adventure guiding, and puts that education to good use by riding bikes. His sarcasm will often get the better of him.
He quite literally feared the idea of riding a bike on the rural roads where he grew up in Ontario. It wasn’t until a bike became a means of transportation was he turned on to the idea of riding further from civilization. Miles’ relocation to Powell River, British Columbia has opened up even more opportunities for big rides, fizzy water sampling, and the chance to enjoy some of the most beautiful terrain in the Pacific Northwest. He’s been known to tackle projects (with wit) that are thrown at him and looks forward to contributing to the industry as much as he can. You can follow Miles on Instagram @MilesArbour.

UK-born Singular Cycles has applied the name “Spitfire” to scores of made-to-measure titanium hardtails—nimble, quick, and built to dogfight on modern trails. The template is speed and agility, but the execution evolves based on rider preferences. Miles spent months aboard founder Sam Alison’s own Spitfire to see if it truly lives up to its name—read the full Singular Spitfire review to find out.
The new Rockgeist Pico Armadillo is a nifty pot or bottle protector when strapped into a metal cargo cage, and doubles as a strap holder to make packing and unpacking easier. Check it out here…
