Mission: One Year In Photography

“Welcome to 2012! The future has become the present. Heavy.

We had a great year. We expanded our shop and staff, led dozens of group rides, participated in a couple bicycle marriage proposals, laminated thousands of spoke cards, made a couple movies, built loads of beautiful bikes and so much more.

We’ve put together a gallery of great moments to relive with you. Thanks for all your support in 2011, best wishes for 2012.” – Mission Bicycle Company

I really like Mission Bicycle Company and what they provide to the cycling community.  Each bike is unique to the person building it.  They allow customization on a very “piece-by-piece” basis.  Here is a preview of some sweet bike photos from Mission.  Click HERE for more!  Enjoy!

Six-Eleven Bicycle Co.

“Inspired by the Great 611 J-Class steam locomotive, Six-Eleven Bicycle Co. perfectly pairs performance and artful design to create the ultimate in lugged and fillet brazed custom steel bicycles.” – Six-Eleven Bicycle Co.

Giovanni Reda

I love it!  Taking your passion and turning it into a product everyone can enjoy!

“Reda’s skateboard photography career began in 1995, where he would take the subway everyday from Brooklyn to shoot friends skating around the streets of New York City. His reputation and network of friends grew and he began to shoot some the world’s best skateboarders. Freelance opportunities with such worldwide distributed publications as Transworld Skateboarding, Thrasher Magazine and Skateboarder began to occur. By 1996, he was a senior photographer for Transworld.” – WeActivists (read more here)
