Bikes. Parts. Chaos.

I’ve been at Surly about 19 months now, and it’s been quite a ride so far.  I’ve got thousands of pictures floating around from those times gallivanting around.  Most are of cool places I got to bike to, some are of people and others yet are of bikes.  As I look through these images I am reminded of all the fun I’ve had, and all the fuckups I’ve made.

High, downward view of a green river valley, with a town in the background

This is in Floressas France, I had to dig through some serious brush to get to this spot, but it was well worth it.

Front, chest up view of a person with a goatee, holding up a black & white sticker with their right hand

This is Charlie the Bikemonger, having fun with customizing his own Surly stickers.  Charlie may be the very best person I have ever met. (other than my lovely wife)(see honey? I luvya!)

Hilltop view of 2 lakes, completely surrounded by a thick, green forest

This is in Cuyuna Minnesota, right off one of the trails.  Sweet dirt.

Left side view of a blue Surly Ice Cream Truck fat bike, on a sidewalk, leaning on the left side of a double decker bus

This picture on Facebook was one of my biggest screw-ups last year.  Showing off a prototype way before it's release.  Luckily none of you nincompoops noticed!

This fox wandered right up to us just outside of Sapporo.

Thor, being Thor. True story, I once poisoned Thor and the next morning he got up and rode like this. I hate him.

A dude named Naoya, with a sweet dog, who provided us with some essentials (Naoya, not the dog).

More Japan.  Holy shit I took a lot of pictures there.

Front view of a person with a beard and tattooed arms, wearing a hat and glasses, leaning over and holding a watermelon

That's me.  The Japanese found it endlessly hilarious that watermelon is my favorite food.  I guess fat dudes with melon fetishes is funny everywhere.

Another one of my favorite people along with Trevor.  This was our last night in Denver.  This was right before the hugging and kissing.

We got a new mascot that day.

This is a dead hedgehog that Sov made me take a picture of.  Happy now you bastard!?!

Ben at Saddle Drive.  Worst fall ever. The angle is bad, but when he stood up it looked like he had two knees on one leg, one right above the other.

Front view of a person sitting behind a table with beer cans on it, looking down at a laptop computer at night

Adam playing D&D.  Once a nerd, always a nerd. Just like the rest of us.
