So 11 years ago I started working as a bike messenger in Chicago and since then most of my time has been spent in lanes of traffic Cutting around cars and buses so it's always important for me to find some time to get away from all that and riding track across It's been a perfect conduit for that Basically the bike I spend all my day messaging on, I take it out and find some trails and just get out into the dirt Riding out in the dirt gives me a chance to reconnect with the bike and why I love cycling but it's also just a way to escape you
