The Start of Something COMMON

Posted on 01. May, 2011 by in Bike industry, Client News, Personal | No Comments

I didn’t exactly come to Boulder Digital Works to help start a bike company. But, sure enough, I’ve been involved – at least to some degree – in the early stages of Common Cycles as part of a bigger ongoing role designing a user experience and writing code for COMMON.is. Anyways, my role as more of an observer than a participant in the creation of Common Cycles has been an interesting chance to think about the bike industry in general and what I was actually doing in it. Something I realized: Passion isn’t special. Humility is.

Latest: COMMON, SXSW

Welcome to the FearLess Cottage. As alluded to in my last post with the Vimeo-Facebook embed form, I’ve started an internship here where I’ll be helping Alex & Ana Bogusky, Rob Schuham and some other really smart, really nice folks to launch COMMON. The concept, briefly, is to build a socially and environmentally sustainable brand that can launch any number of independent, loosely connected ventures. In the midst of getting rolling with all this, I took my maiden voyage to SXSW Interactive as part of Boulder Digital Works’ 20+-member delegation. Not surprisingly, the highlights of my trip all happened away from the throngs at the convention center.

New Bikes Rule

Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by in Client News, Personal | No Comments

I’ve had this new Franco Balcom frameset for a couple months now, and just recently finished building it up with a new SRAM RED group and Zipp 101 wheelset. It’s fast, it fits, and it looks cool. What more can you ask for?

A few videos for Zipp

I posted some photos earlier from my day in the caravan with SRAM Neutral Race Support, and here’s the video.

I also had a chance to interview one of the most influential, modernizing figures in pro cycling, Bjarne Riis.

And finally, there’s Joao Correia – the former associate publisher of Bicycling Magazine who’s now racing for Cervelo [...]

Stage 1 was a circus

There were a LOT of people out there today. I was in the SRAM Neutral Race Support car taking photos and videos for Zipp’s website and Facebook page. I’ll have some more thoughts to post later on, but here are a few images from the stage.

ATOC Revisited

A year ago today was the last stage of the Tour of California. 100 miles up and over Mt. Palomar. The final act of 9 grueling days on the road. The experienced challenged me in more significant ways than I’d expected. But it was an adventure, and those are always to be relished.

New work: Wordpress MU for Specialized

Posted on 04. Nov, 2009 by in Client News | No Comments

Getting deeper into this WordPress thing, I’ve been working with Specialized on my first WordPress MU development project: the Stumpjumper Trail Crew. The campaign features eight “ambassadors” who’ve been fully kitted out and asked to blog, tweet, lead rides, and generally promote the latest version of the Stumpjumper.

A couple of MASH-related events

Mike is throwing a photo scavenger race (fun!) for the new Martin clothing line tomorrow in San Francisco. Then there’s the MASH Drag Race in Vegas on Wednesday night during Interbike. Details forthcoming…

What has Josh been up to?

I’m not exactly a daily blogger, but a gap of two-plus weeks since my last post is a bit much even by my standards. Things have been crazy busy but are now settling down slightly, so I figured I’d take this opportunity to share the recent goings-on at Kadisco. Big Project #1 that recently wrapped up was copywriting for Zipp’s 2010 catalog. Big Project #2 has been taking over online and offline marketing and communications for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.
