Thanks for reading the first post of this incredible journey. We truly hope that our story inspires you to your own personally great experience.

As our adventure gets underway, we welcome you to join us; potential hosts, city help, or even a waving as we pass by. If you are a geek and can spare a few minutes each day to keep up with us, we will try not to disappoint. You just may find yourself inspired to bike to work. Let us help you nurture your new mode of transportation. 

We are not avid cyclists. Our calves and forearms look quite similiar to yours. This site is the story of our transition from ‘geeks’ to ‘geeks on bikes.’ We will be getting our own crash course into cycling, then showing all that is needed for you to start your healthly biking experience. Of course, we’ll be adding that geek flavor you secretly (or publicly) love. 

We are seeing cycling with fresh eyes. Let us show you how to become a happy, healthy, and safe bike commuter.

Sincerely,

Carlos Urreta and Joe Philipson
