I am Two Wheels and Chain Driven

Cycling has long been of great importance to me. It has shaped me to who I am today and has created a lifestyle that I will forever be grateful for. My lifestyle has given me so much and I am glad for the path I have taken with it. I'd have it no other way.


The first bike I ever received was a Mongoose 20" Bmx bike. It was blue in color, no hand brakes, and a kickback coaster brake. I remember the many skids down my street with it. It was the bike that I learned to ride on and the start of a lifestyle that has kept me smiling since day one. I would like to personally thank my parents for that gift and my father for teaching me how to ride.


Since then, I had too many bikes to remember. Each was different but they all provided great memories. I have always tried to explore different styles of cycling. My interests have been in BMX, touring, and mountain biking. My current interests are fixed gears and downhill mountain biking. In all my endeavors of riding, I have put a strong goal to work toward in each. So far I've met plenty. In the future I intend to do more road and definitely more touring. I'm a mountain biker at heart and I will never give up on that. Life gets in the way, but I'll never forget what and who inspires me.


The people that I've met through riding have been people that have helped me grow as a person. Some are my best friends. Others are acquaintances that are seen here and there. All have been an inspiration for me to get on my bike and go. Thank you to anyone that I've ever ridden with. You're all awesome.


I love cycling and every aspect of it. The people, the industry, the stories, the journeys, the headaches, the accomplishments...are of much importance to me. The feeling of being on a bicycle, regardless of the style, has always been a stress reliever and has gotten me through so much. There's no better feeling of being on a bike. My own personal rewards and experiences are overpowering. The memories I've had and still are making, are going to be with me forever. I look forward to what the future has in store for me. Until then, I'm happy to be riding with what I currently have, and where I am at.


I am a cyclist. I am two wheels and chain driven.
