Hello, I'm Rohan.
A student, graphic designer, apple fanboy, photographer, tennis player & audiophile.
A bit more about me & contact info can be found here.
We spend much of our working lives riding bicycles, but since we never really see them we sometimes take them for granted. Luckily there are clever and talented designers willing to renegotiate our relationship with bikes.

On a recent visit to Sporting Life, I spotted this bike. Being the bike enthusiast that I am*, i quickly became obsessed with this bike. This was until Iwas informed by one of the employees that the Anthem XO had a price tag of around $5000. Hey a guy can dream can't he? Well at least its better then my previous obsession the Holzweg Bike. Still looking for a decent full suspension bike. Have any suggestions?
*glad to say i've completed two 25k runs [Ride for Heard - Toronto] :)
Wood frame bikes have long given way to aluminum and space age
materials but designer Arndt Menke thinks we were too hasty in giving
up on one of the strongest, resilient, and lightweight natural
materials. There are over 60,000 woody plants worldwide but we use less
than 300 of them in a terribly unsustainable way. The Holzweg bike’s
frame is totally made of wood and weighs a scant 2.3kg.
-.- i need to start biking again.
