  • Banjo Brothers Five Things Interview With Craig Altheide

    FIVE THINGS WITH CYCLIST CRAIG ALTHEIDE

    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 Craig Altheide.

    From Hannibal, Missouri, Mark Twain's hometown, the 54-year-old father and high school teacher starting riding seven years ago to fix a gimpy knee and drop a few pounds and hasn't looked back.  

    Craig's epic and cycling-rich Instagram feed, where he goes by the moniker "@oversizedcyclist", caught our eye, so we said, "Hey, how'd you like to submit a Five Things profile?" We dig his no-nonsense, straightforward style.

    Enjoy this week's Banjo Brothers Five Things.

Dicus says, "Minneapolis is a great biking city. I’ve done several traditional, long-distance tours, but a few years back I checked out bikepacking and got hooked (Baja, Arizona, Colorado). As long as my body lets me, I’ll be chasing that combination of single track, mountains, and self-supported camping."
