Personal Summary

Work hard, play harder

Integrity can only be measured by how we act when no one is looking.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 22:37-39)

Indy had the privilege of hosting the 2009 North American Handmade Bike Show (NAHBS) this year. Michael and I went to the show and spent the morning viewing all of the bike art. As a true gear geek, having all of these niche builders in the same place was simply amazing. After attending the show, we volunteered with CIBA to work at the ticket sales tables. It was cool that so many IndyRootstockers were able to make it to the show (7 by my count!). It was also pretty fun to see the wide variety of bike enthusiatists from all around the country all enjoying the show.

It was also cool to get to meet Jon from Moots at the show. After being a Moots fan (and rider) for 5+ years, it was fun talking Moots tech with someone really in the know.
