Banjo Blog
FIVE THINGS is a feature on the Banjo Brothers Blog. It’s a short interview about life and bicycles with a notable person. This week's notable person is Willy Lee.
Willy is late-bloomer when it comes to bikes, learning to ride a bike when he was 26. Proximity to bike paths has changed his life.
"My wife and I bought a house on the chain of lakes and she said, we are not living on these great bike paths and not riding them, so she dragged me to a couple of bike shops and made me buy a bike. LOL, the joke’s on her. I now own 11.5 bikes (one is a unicycle.) I worked weekends at a shop for a few years, and have really fallen into a big bike family"
Willy is also a #30daysofbiking diehard and he thinks you should totally join the herd this April.
One of the most interesting cycling personalities to emerge in the past decade, Weiss was made famous (or infamous) by his moniker and blog of the same name, "Bike Snob NYC", where he writes funny, insightful and sometimes lacerating commentary about cycling.
The once anonymous blogger revealed his identity in 2010 and parlayed his notoriety, insight into cycling culture, and writing talents into something bigger— a sustainable writing career.
We hope you enjoy this week's Banjo Brothers Five Things.
