Bicycles, rafts, beers, sandwiches, fires and friends. Doesn’t get much better.

Two years later (’96) I started working at QBP as their first product designer. At the job interview I was asked by Steve Flagg where I saw the industry heading. Like a lot of “normal” riders, I was fed up with guaranteed-to-taco 19mm rims, 3-degree wrist-tweaking flat handlebars, back-jacking 150mm stems, and eminently-broken anodized billet parts, so in my mind it was easy to predict that the industry would be heading away from the XC racing-inspired equipment and geometries that even crept down to entry-level bikes at the time. My response was that designs inspired by REAL RIDING as opposed to DREAMS OF RACING would begin to get traction, and that niches like cruisers, cyclocross, touring and BMX would be re-emerging and expanding. I couldn’t have foreseen that single-speed mountain biking would become a thing, but that subgenre would certainly come to satisfy both of my predictions, and – ultimately – lead to the creation and success of the Surly brand.

bikejerks.com just released a really nice article about Surly’s founder Wakeman Massie here ... don’t miss it!

#Repost from cyclist @focus.shift - "My Wraith Paycheck is complete! When I saw photos of the completed build, it was love at first sight. I can't wait to shred this thing in Minneapolis and beyond! Adam from Wraith really took care me on this build. If you're looking for a made in USA steel frame, and/or a complete frame up build, be sure to check out Wraith first." #wraithfabrication #wraithcycles #wraith #cyclocross #cycling #bicycle #cycle #bikejerks #bikepacking #madeinusa #steel #mpls #minneapolis #biketour #hizokucycles HizokuCycles.com

Last post for the #countrystyle50mile - as the day marched on, we got a little tired, but conditions were so epically good we carried on. I saw trails I’ve never ridden before. Ran into friends in the woods. And the promised snow did fall with about 5 miles to go. It only added to the glory that the day was. And then there was the food reward at the end. Rarely has s hamburger tasted better. #bikejerks #cycling #optoutside #outsideisfree #dancingthroughthepuddles #urbanglory #urbansingletrack #singletrackmind (at Crosby Farm Regional Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWQuwCTlv4J/?utm_medium=tumblr

@bikejerks explained it must be done regularly and just re-posted an amazing photo of Geno from one of our favorite shops in the world @oneononebike (with the most extraordinary basements for any bike person) and it reminded us that we should be reposting this video of @dave_conk intermittently lest anyone forget. #unpredictyourjourney #bikejerks #oneoneonebike (at Topanga, California)
