Northwest Trails Trip Video

On their drive north to the Seattle Bicycle Expo, Neil and Phil stopped along the way to ride a few of the Pacific Northwest's most renowned trails. Although the weather wasn't always cooperative, they rode their newly built Rohloff-equipped Surly Krampuses in Olympia, Washington, Portland, Oregon, and Redding, California. Watch our video above from some of the best singletrack in the country.

Neil and Phil at the Seattle Bicycle Expo

Neil and I drove from Berkeley to Seattle for the Seattle Bicycle Expo on the weekend of March 1-2, where we had a great time meeting the locals and sharing our products and services with Seattle cyclists. The turnout for the expo was fantastic even with the wet, grey weather that came through that weekend. Most of the consumers exploring the booths at the show were wet and wearing cycling gear, having ridden through the rain to get to the expo center. The sheer number of the commuters at the expo that weekend was a testament to the bicycle community in Seattle: nasty weather doesn’t stop Seattle commuters, and their ranks only seem to be growing.
