INSIDE KNOWLEDGE
WE BEGGED SOME OF THIS ISSUE’S COOLEST RIDERS FOR THEIR BEST ADVICE
CHAS CHRISTIANSEN,
MY RIDE MAKES MY STYLE, P. 5 3 I think 90 percent of my
hard times in cycling amount
to me needing a cookie, a
Snickers bar, or a cold soda.
So I snack extra hard when
things get tough, and usu-
ally that pushes me through.
When all else fails, I’m out of
snacks, and the switchbacks
are neverending, I just start
singing punk rock songs.
ALSO: My favorite piece of
cycling gear is my battered
and well-worn Kryptonite
U-lock. Fully stripped of all
the extra rubber and plastic
bits, then covered in multiple
layers of stickers, it’s the
most functional and stylish
thing I carry every day.6 BICYCLING.COM • ISSUE 5 Photograph byIAN ALLEN
