How’d I miss this? Mission Workshop, Bike Magazine and Ibis Cycles recently got together for a little Q&A on the history of Ibis and why bikes are so fucking rad. Speaking of rad, that first jersey is pretty incredible. This one’s a little long, so let it play in the background while you “work” on a Friday morning.
Thanks for the heads up Tracko!

From Manual for Speed
Klaus from Cycling Inquisition pulled together a rather comprehensive interview with my BRO, I mean buddy, Emiliano Granado (Manual for Speed / Outlier / Yonder Journal). As someone who aspires to one day pull in cycling photography work, I’ve always admired how Emiliano photographs the things I care about seeing with professional cycling. I.e. save the finish line shots for the other guys…
Here’s just a sample question:
“Your collective work seems to turn the camera away from the action, namely key—but somewhat expected— moments in a race, and toward a more human side of the sport. Do you see this a conscious deviation away from Cartier-Bresson’s “decisive moment”, or simply a different but equally “decisive” way of photographing.
I don’t want to argue with the establishment of the “decisive moment,” but I may argue that there are many, many decisive moments in every situation. With that said, we are not interested in capturing the same moment everyone else is after – ie, arms-raised-across-the-finish-line. The whole point to Manual For Speed and the majority of our work is to explore the unexplored. So if everyone is seeking certain photographs and decisive moments, then we’re concerned with capturing something else. Something more subtle, quieter, and more honest.”

Jeremy Dunn is one of my favorite people I’ve gotten to know in the “industry” (sorry CD) and he’s also a good friend of mine (sorry CD, me and Jay are now besties). The crew at Portland Design Works interviewed Jeremy in their Good Neighbor series. Head over and check it out!
I love this video so much. If you are a supporter of hand-made bikes or hand-made anything, you should watch it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Woof while in Jakarta. We nearly spent 24 hours a day together and so it was a little sad on the last day when he asked us all to do a “Why do you like riding a bicycle?” video. Here’s the first two in the series, featuring Tyler and Walton. I had so much fun with these two in Indonesia…

I don’t get interviewed that often and to be honest, when I do, the questions never dig that deep. Esther Merono was in town for SxSW and interviewed me for SLUG Magazine, where she did a little excavation into my opinion on various subjects. Head over to SLUG to check in.
