Firefly Bicycles

Tyler,

You're inspiring me to do more urban riding. I probably only recognize 10% of those locations...

Oh, the anticipation!

Tyler,
Your building skills may be overshadowed by your photography skills. I don't know much about either one but I know I like both. Great photos!!

I try to showcase as much street art as I can in these posts, but sometimes I present other aspects of the ride.

I have been encouraging others to contribute to the Boston AM hashtag with some success.

You can follow at @fireflybicycles or the hashtag #bostonam.

…there's plenty more where that came from, and many more to come. #bostonam.

Tyler, great to see them al together.

yo Tyler, what's the deal with this?

I see a new bike in your future!

That doesn't look like Dorchester.

Pick me, pick me!

I hope this is a grass roots MTB racing team- would like to see FF's out at XC races like the old Fat Chance days

To this day, one of the coolest bike moments was getting to hang out and talk to John Funk when he raced for Fat Chance when I was a 20 year old- one of those moments that really stoked the fire of my love of bikes.

I hope this is real adventure stuff...and I'll volunteer to be the token Old Guy as long as the ride isn't a self-congratulatory parade and an excuse to stuff faces. But that second part does not seem like Firefly's style. Good Luck, fellas.

Without giving away too much this early in the game.... It is going to be a REAL adventure team. Fully supported with equipment, kits, travel and lodging. The team will consist of 6 locals, each has been selected for what they bring to the table. The rides will be far reaching and, in true Firefly style, very well documented. There are some major details that I am leaving out for now, but as spring approaches more info will come. I will say that all involved are very excited, highly organized, talented and are unified as a team.

Sounds somewhat Rapha-like mixed with the Assos-like characteristics.

Good luck!

as d's co-agent... we want the same $$ that cano will make for seattle next year.

d, when this is signed you will clear an easy $25,000 a year!
will be awesome.

I'm Darren's sidekick. I just need two other people to push me up the longer climbs.

Assuming REAL adventure means really-real: I've got the Protective Security Detail covered, for a modest per diem of course.

Right on!

Your bike acquisition frequency suggests otherwise ... ;)

You guys sound way too organized for an "Adventure" Team.
To have adventures you need some bad planning.

Looking forward to when you publish the schedule. Is it OK if I go to the events and fondle the bikes?

Careful with the word "fondle". ;)

I'm sure he meant "fondo".

These guys involved?

In Rosey's defense... he knows too much. I guess I'll leak out another tidbit before too many dudes take offense:

It's a team of six women, six amazing women.

Ah hah! Then I withdraw my bid to be the team Old Guy...as having an old guy around that team would just be flat-out creepy.

Don't worry, I include myself in that statement, even if it wasn't a female squad.

don't see how to reconcile the intention and the execution plan

'epic' as art-directed by Emiliano Granado really works against the spirit of adventure

Emiliano? Really? I wasn't being that specific when replying that The Yonder Journal was a point of reference. The man does some great portraits though...

Our job is to reconcile the intention and execution. Your job is to absorb, or look away (if even possible). Don't worry blasdelf. We've got it covered.

We know what adventure means. We don't, however, know what "blasdelf" means.*

*wink.
