\\\\\ UPDATE the mystery bike match game has been solved. Deb got them all right on this comment. /////
Howdy y’all, Dartanyon here. We normally don’t post much on the weekend, but I wanted to take a moment for an off-topic Sunday morning Public Service Announcement. May is bike to work [and school] month. Around the studio we’re environmentally conscious, and have turned BTWM into sorta a big deal. We join in on the ride challenge put on by our local bike club, and get a little competitive when it comes to who can rack up the most miles.
Consider this little PSA post my personal invitation to you, to hop on a bike an go for a ride. You don’t need to commit to riding to work everyday in May [although that would be awesome]. You could just ride on National Bike to Work day on the 20th of May, or whatever works for you.
I got a laugh from our April Fools Day post where we all had switched out face parts. So in this spirit, I’ve whipped up a little “match game”, but this time it’s going to be a game of Match-The-Bike-To-The-Rider. So, to see portraits of our lovely commuter steeds and match ’em to their riders, hit ‘continue reading’ below…
When I prepped this post only 7 of us had ridden our whips in so Norton and Megan missed out…)
So, for our crew, that leaves:
- Chase
- Dartanyon
- Scott
- Jerard
- Erik
- Mara [she’s new, say hi]
- Kate
Match those riders with these steeds:
1980 Trek 710
2001 K2 Team ZED
2010 Trek XO2
1975 Bianchi Pista
2007 Scott CR1
1998 Cannondale Volvo Team CAAD3
1999 Rodriguez Stellar
If anyone matches the riders to their bikes, I’ll try to talk the bossman out of a signed book or something. We’ll track you down. Good luck with your guess and enjoy biking to work starting Monday. It’s good for you and good for the world.
[Lastly, if you’re a bike nerd too, let’s take this offline. Hit me up, I’m @dartanyon. on Twitter]
Here’s a hint: the single-speed ’75 celeste bianchi ‘pista’ is mine.
Isn’t a little early for hints 😉
So Chase got the Bianchi as we know now. Kate is on the K2, I think she’s the one carrying the luggage 😉 I think Mara (hello, would love to hear/read from you (; ) is on the Rodriguez. Dartanyon rides Cannondale and Scott has the older TREK. So what about Jerard and and Erik…Jerard maybe likes the SCOTT (does that mean that he likes Scott too? We’ll maybe find out in another trivia… :-D) and Erik prefers the new TREK?
Free wheeling or fixed gear setup !!??
Inquiring minds want to know ;~))
1980 Trek: Gerrard
2001 K2: Mara (p.s. Hi Mara 🙂 )
2010 Trek: Chase
1975 Bianchi: Erik
2007 Scott: Scott
1998 Cannondale: Dartanyon
1999 Rodriguez: Kate
That’s cool! 🙂
I’d guess:
Chase – Trek XO2, sporty
Dartanyon – K2, space for lots of equipment
Scott – Scott (of course!)
Jerard – Cannondale
Erik – Bianchi
Hi Mara! – Trek 710
Kate – Rodriguez
ALthough the K2 is heavily loaded, it looks like a small frame possibly one of the women…
Interesting observation … 😉
I’m from Amsterdam, so I cycle to school every day and much more than that 🙂 hi Mara 🙂
