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 cyclist Amanda Batty.
Raised on a farm just outside of Payson, Utah, Amanda Batty is a recently retired professional downhill and enduro racer. Described on the Packfiller Podcast by host Patrick Bulger as, "fast, opinionated, colorful, fun and as she says herself, feisty as f--k."
Batty's love-affair with the bike is eloquently chronicled on her personal website and it's just one of the many reasons she's a compelling subject for our Five Things project.

Truth be told, I'm not doing much riding lately due to the arrival of Child #2. My ride is generally the 2.6 miles to and from work. What's great about it, however, is that I go over the Mississippi every day. Once in the morning light and now in the dark.

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 cyclist and cycling industry icon Steve Smith, better known far and wide as Stëvil Kinëvil.
For those not familiar with Smith’s shenanigans or weekly musings on his blog/journal, here, in his own words is the backstory: My name is Steve, but have long been known in some circles as Stevil. That originally came about via a woman I used to messenger with after riding a recycling bin down a long flight of stairs and after getting pitched onto the sidewalk at the bottom, I scorpioned and kicked the back of my own head. For the last nine years I’ve managed all things ‘All Hail The Black Market’, and before that handled Swobo’s marketing duties, where I dusted off that old moniker.
