Killer Mike
Every summer in my old area, Bow, these kids from across the road used to bring out quad bikes in the park. They let me have a go, and I don’t know what was wrong with me, but I drove straight into a gate and fractured my big toe. I had this mad limp for ages.

That’s one the main reasons we live in Austin. The weather is so nice for the majority of the offseason, and it’s easy for us to get out and ride bikes and get on some trails, to walk together as a family. Sometimes I’ll go out for a trail run. We just like to do things outdoors.
Jake Arrieta

Bipasha Basu

Matt Skiba
When I was young, summers stretched so long, as if they’d never end. Days were like marathons of time, riding bikes until my blisters had blisters, endless energy, and not an actual care in the world aside from when ‘Paul’ could come out and play. Days now feel more like minutes, almost game show like.

Garrett McNamara
If you’re going to learn how to ride a bike as an adult, do it somewhere where there’s no people in the middle of the countryside. Don’t do it where people are born on bikes basically.

Christine Leunens
I got my first tattoo when I was 19. The one on my shoulder is an eagle. I’d go to the beach, and I’d take off my shirt, and I’d almost feel self-conscious because nobody out there had tattoos except my buddies, the guys who rode motorcycles. American-made bikes, mainly.
Lorenzo Lamas
