My name is Tyson Blades. I am based in Santa Barbara, CA, USA. I love bicycles more than many things in life because they are the perfect form of transportation. The human body is not only the most efficient engine on earth, it is also the greenest. Bikes are awesome. But they are nothing without their engines. People are what make them go. Try getting a car to go 53 miles on a burrito. It simply can’t be done.
Just stumbled over here by way of your Roubaix SL4 disc review…stayed for a lot longer than I expected. Nice stuff. Bookmarked :)
Great site, like the way of a bike, simple! And nice pictures too.

I thoroughly enjoy your blog. I’m a sucker for steel bikes. I was up in Northern Santa Barbara County last week and I thought to myself, “Maybe I should stop by Santa Barbara and ride my bike on State Street and hope that Tyson will put me in his blog.”
Any time! That would be awesome! Be sure to drop me a line via email if you are ever in town.
LOVE the logo…
Thanks! I worked really hard on it!
I originally had thought I’d stumbled across some way cool bike shop and was looking forward to stopping by. :-)
