It was one of the most memorable summers of our lives, filled end to end with journeys through beautiful landscapes and with good company.
We didn’t want it to end, but the days started to get shorter, the temperature became cooler, and our familiar bike routes began to look a little less green. For Matt and me, our shared excitement for all things cycling was only surpassed by the great friends that we met along the way. It was then that we thought to combine our skills and love of bicycles, and we set out to travel the country photographing people and their bikes.
This book is not about a singular style of bike or type of cycling but rather about all of us in a grand kinship of bicycles. We wanted to
