About Me

I'm the creator of this site as well as an avid cyclist who wants to explore and be a part of all forms of cycling so weather you are a commuter, a club rider or racer, everyone is welcome here.

 

In my day job, I own a screen printing company called Caleb's Creations and have been in business for 17 years based out of the Tampa Florida Area. If you would like to learn more about this, please take a look at www.promoplanet.biz .

 

One of the things that I think is important for all cyclists is Bicycle Advocacy for all ages and bicycle types so I've also created a website to help educate people about Sharrows, find out more about Sharrows here www.sharrowshirts.com

 

Last but not least, at 50 years old I started racing in Critieriums and Time Trials, the Florida Masters is my Team, and I'm also the webmaster for our site located at www.flmasters.com

 

Lets have some fun and share our own unique experiances, the site is only as interesting as YOU make it so lets roll !

Lets Do A New Thing !

Its going to take a lot of work and I'll need quite a bit of help, but it will be worth it.
