he theme of this issue is “Investing in Cycling” and as we
were pu ing it together I couldn’t help but think back to
my first bike purchase and smile. Aside from the sweet
Huffy Stone Mountain, I knew nothing about bikes, and when I
walked into the bike shop near my house to inquire about a “real”
bike I was pre y overwhelmed by what I found. Luckily this shop
sold new and refurbished bikes, and a er the shock that a bicy-
cle could cost three HUNDRED dollars wore off I rolled away on
a classic road bike with downtube shi ers and a whopping 12
speeds to choose from.
At the time it seemed like a crazy amount of money to spend,
but over the years it has been one of the best investments of my
life. Cycling has taken me around the world and introduced me
to countless friends.
Adventurer Laura Bingham made a few friends along her
journey as well, as she traveled across South America on a five-
month bike tour without bringing any money. She had to scrape
together a bit of cash to repair her bike a er it was hit by a car(!)
but otherwise she relied on just her wits and the kindness of
strangers. See how she pulled it off starting on page 24.
In Portland, Oregon, framebuilders Tony Pereira and Ira Ryan
both had good businesses going with their custom bikes, but
even when working full speed they were limited by how many
bikes they could get into the hands of customers. Not con-
tent with long wait times they combined their talents to form
Breadwinner Cycles, a brand that’s rethinking how the custom
bike process can work. Take a tour of their workshop on page 44.
But not every investment is about gear or goods. It’s even
more important to invest in your community, and there’s li le
doubt that the cycling community could be a lot more inclusive
for minorities. Learn about why it’s important to promote diver-
sity in cycle culture and get some tips on making your bike scene
more inclusive on page 32.
Investing in cycling is not just about spending money, it’s
about trading something of value—your time, your efforts, your
skills—and ge ing something back in return. Cycling has paid
huge dividends in my life and I hope it does the same in yours.
Enjoy your Bicycle Times.
