\\\\\ 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]
wow…this is intense…wow…I cant believe you’re making me do this…I’m the laziest person I know but I’ll try

Scott – 2010 Trek XO2
Mara – 1999 Rodriguez Stellar
Jerard – 2001 K2 Team ZED
Erik – 1980 Trek 710

C. Scott = 2007 Scott CR1
D. Jerard = 1999 Rodriguez Stellar
E. Erik = 2010 Trek XO2

1975 Bianchi Pista – Chase
2001 K2 Team ZED – Kate
1999 Rodriguez Stellar – Mara
1980 Trek 710 – Erik
2010 Trek XO2 – Dartanyon
2007 Scott CR1 – Jerard
1998 Cannondale Volvo Team CAAD3 – Scott
What distances do you ride? I already bike commute 5 days/week (~135 miles/week) but hopefully I’ll start adding in grocery shopping trips, other errands… (Surly LHT for me.) Love that so many in your office bike commute!
Deb, combined with us all riding we are about 85-90 miles a day. My tip is the longest at around 11, followed by Scott’s and then Erik’s, Mara is up there too. Kate, Chase and Jerard are all pretty close. On the plus side… YOU HAVE THEM ALL RIGHT! I’ll hit you up tomorrow morning for your details and get you out something snazy.
Wow! I can’t believe I got them all right!! Awesome. 🙂
So from what I can tell FIVE of the correct combinations are made in the above comments. First person to nail them all will get something special from the bossman.
1975 Bianchi Pista – Chase
1998 Cannondale Volvo Team CAAD3 – Dartanyon
2001 K2 Team ZED – Kate
1999 Rodriguez Stellar – Mara
1980 Trek 710 – Scott
2010 Trek XO2 – Jerard
2007 Scott CR1 – Eric
Whats my score? 😛
You’ve also got 3 correct!
