Rachel, I knew that child had to have amazing parents. I think we can confidently say Goldilocks is a dream child and I am envious! I have 2 wonderful boys, but had I had a daughter, this is the daughter I’d wish for! I am a total believer in buying quality and spending money on things that

I'll ask Anna if she'll do an interview. We've been meaning to start an text based interview series. I have a Pro yo-yo'er turned Atlantis rider lined up, and a bunch of industry folks. The bike was super fun to conceive. It was originally going to be a Sherlock Holmes / Tolkien mix, with

Hi folks!-new to posting the list but have been following for a few years. That's our (er, my daughter's) Tolkien-mobile so a shout out to Candice and James for the build :). We are now a Riv squared family: my completely orange Cheviot and her Atlantis. Seven bikes in the garage now--car's

1. Analog (James, et al.): You are amazing. I am in awe that you dreamed up and then carried out the idea to include whole passages of Tolkien on this Rivendell bike. This is just fantastic. Hits all the pleasure centers in my brain - bikes, books, endearing quotes, darling teenagers who are
