About me:
I'm a designer and photographer by trade. I got interested in cycling a few years back when some friends got me on board for the MS150 - a charity ride for MS research. Then a couple years later a couple friends decided to start a bike company and asked me to help them out with design and photography. The three of us agreed that there was a scarcity of cycling apparel out there that we'd actually want to wear, aside from Rapha stuff, which none of us could really afford. So we started Faction Cycling Co. here in Chicago to try to fill that void and have a good time doing it. In the process I've gotten more serious about making the bike a part of my everyday life. For now that means riding on a trainer through the winter months (I'm a whuss about winter riding ;) but it gives me a chance to get in better shape for spring rides and catch up on my Netflix queue at the same time.

    Awesome monster indeed!! I actually have a t-shirt I want to get made up in honor of my bike and all the other awesome cargo bikes out there. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
