About Me: My name is Will. I like bikes and I hate carrots! Bikes have been a major part of my life since I was 4. My dad took me out on singletrack as soon as I got my training wheels taken off and that's when the passion for bikes began! At 17, my passion for bikes became a profession when I began working at Chain Reaction Cycles as a mechanic. Two years after being hired, Chain Reaction Cycles developed 9:ZERO:7 Bikes! I have been working at Chain Reaction Cycles and riding 9:ZERO:7 Fat Bikes ever since!
