History:
|
Never could get out of the valley I grew up in with either my BMX bike or mom's single speed cruiser, so outside of riding like a fiend around the house as a kid, I was not a cyclist. While travelling in Hawai'i many years later, I borrowed an old beat up department store bike to run to the store and fell in love. I also realized the utilitarian nature of the bike as transportation and soon after began commuting exclusively by bike. I spent some time as a bike messenger in Cleveland and went on to work at Bike Friday, where I've done production, inventory, sales, and was even the customer service manager. |

2000 Bike Friday Pocket Llama
Folding bike |
Description: Totally built from scratch by me including the welding. "Bike Everyday" used to be my commuter and mountain bike until I re-did it to be more of a touring bike with a Velocity Aeroheat wheels, a Shimano Capreo drivetrain, Ritchey Biomax drops and bar-end shifters. Now it's mainly used to escort my daughter in the Burley.

1986 Miyata One Hundred
Fixed Gear Road bike |
Description: "Mojo," my trusty old messenger bike and inspiration for my Bike Friday fixed gear. Phil Wood flip flop rear hub, Campy Record front, carbon fork. It's a beaut. Unfortunately it hadn't been ridden much since building the other bike, so I sold her. She's in good hands, but she will be missed.
Lifetime Odometer:
130.2 miles
