The Biking Hub: Mountain

Site news » Guitar Ted

Contributor introduction: Guitar Ted

I have been an avid cyclist ever since I was five years old, when my first ride without training wheels ended in a rose bush. Over the years, I spent many hours exploring the offroad tracks around my hometown in Iowa and when I discovered the mountain bike in 1989, I was hooked. I raced cross country and started working in a bicycle shop and have found myself drawn further into the world of these bikes as time passes. Today, I am married with children, and I still work in a bicycle shop (after a stint as an auto mechanic).

Since 2003 I have been riding a 29” wheeled mountain bike, or “29er”. I am thoroughly impressed by many of the unique aspects of these particular machines and have found that there are a lot of misunderstandings concerning 29”ers. My articles for The Biking Hub should help you to see that the big wheels are here to help and that they do not want to hurt anyone!

The other area that I have been getting into more and more is the endurance race scene. I help promote an endurance race and I participate in them now too. Also, I am surrounded by some self-proclaimed “endurance freaks” at my work place, so you can be sure that I will have plenty to write about on this quickly growing segment of the mountain biking community.
