Nelson is a gifted writer and storyteller. He's funny, self-deprecating and captured in a fun way the obsessive nature of the typical bike nerd. It didn't matter if he was writing about his "grazing instinct", publishing fake news, bike porn, funny ride stories, open letters, or recaps of the Leadville 100, his blog became a must-read for cyclists of all stripes.

Luke and the Banjo Brothers' relationship goes back all the way to Banjo Brothers' inception in 2003. Breen attracted attention to his store in 2016 when he dumped the name of his shop (Calhoun Cycle) over the controversial history of John C. Calhoun, described as one of the most aggressive segregationists and proponents of slavery in U.S. History. It was a risky move considering the brand equity Breen built over the past 20 years.
By some standards, Dann's newbie to the "bike shop life" getting his first bike shop gig in 2010. A missionary's kid, he grew up around Tokyo and speaks Japanese. A man of adventure, he took a break from the bikes for a few years to attend Bible and for an internship at a church in England. He's living the good life these days wrenching bikes, wearing lots of wool and trying not o.d. on Grant Peterson. We think you'll enjoy this week's FIVE THINGS.
