Who is Kevin?

I first fell in love with biking while delivering sandwiches by bike in downtown Austin, TX. That led me to plan my first big tour—riding from Portland down the Pacific Coast in 2012. It started with a lot of Oregon rain, but I eventually made it to sunny California and got completely hooked on the freedom of the open road. After a stint running my own restaurant back in Texas, I returned to the Pacific Northwest—drawn by Oregon’s forest roads and Portland’s bike culture. Now I’m proud to call Portland home—one of the best biking cities in the world!

Q&A with Kevin

Q.

First Bike:

A.

1983 Trek 520 — snagged it for $85 back in 2009 in Wisconsin. Came fully loaded with racks and original Bike Warehouse panniers. It carried me all the way down the Pacific Coast from Portland to San Diego in 2012.

Q.

Favorite Movie:

A.

The Big Lebowski—or really, anything by the Coen Brothers.

Q.

Favorite Vacation Spot:

A.

The Oregon Coast. Nothing beats the epic views from the seat of a bicycle.

Q.

If I Had a Superpower:

A.

Flying. I still stare out the airplane window the whole flight in awe.

Q.

Where You’ll Find Me When I’m Not Guiding:

A.

Spring through fall, I’m exploring Oregon. In the winter, I usually head to New Mexico to visit family and soak up some sunshine.
