The bicycle is the most amazing thing to me. I work with them and ride them every day and yet they never cease to amaze me. I love that with a few simple tools, I can create something that will take someone around a velodrome in only a few seconds or around the world at just the right speed.

I spent many beautiful days riding my bike as a kid and the joy has never left me. Racing found me when I was 15 and led to many accomplishments including world records and racing with the Maple leaf on my back. I have tried my hand at road racing, mountain bike racing, recumbent racing and my real love: the track. I have done RAAM, triathalons and extended touring. I am a coach and often give talks to kids about bike safety and maintenance.
I am probably best known as “that guy in the Guiness book of records who rides his space capsule at 80mph” For more on my speed bike records please visit gosamgo.

I was trained as a visual artist and worked for many top theatre companies as a designer before deciding to make bicycles full-time. I worked as a bike mechanic for years in my late teens and early twenties so I definitely know my way around the back end of even the ugliest bike part.

I was born and raised on Quadra Island Where I now live with my own family. Come visit, we’ll go for a ride.
