Who Are You?

Who are we? Well…we’re cyclists. And while to the layperson that might not seem like much of a statement, we’ll assert that it’s bit like surfing. It’s not just a hobby, it’s a way of life, sometimes nearly all-consuming. The kid at the counter in “Point Break” said that “surfin’s the source…it’ll change your life.” No offense to Katheryn Bigelow, but we like think it’s cycling.

We ride and wrench on all kinds of bikes, and riding will change anyone’s life for the better—that’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to it. Not only that, we love the bike community: it’s full of quirky, unusual, unorthodox and often brilliant people. It takes a special sort of human to use a bike for transport or fun, and they’re all our tribe.

Some of us arrive at work on road bikes in spandex, some on an mtb, some, ahem, drive, while others have a gargantuan basket on the front of their klunker. But no matter what we’re riding, best believe we’ll let ‘er rip.
