I recently published an article outlining 10 things that I hate about cycling, and, more specifically, mountain biking. Right after I started writing about things that I hate in a sport that I absolutely love, it made me feel a little gross; I don't hate this sport, but there's always something to dislike about something you love. Life is nothing without balance; such is the dichotomy of our lives.

I've stopped asking myself if a vest is the right choice for me and consider myself converted to the cult of riders who swear by a vest-style backpack for mountain biking. Still, after going through the hassle of trying multiple running vests and a few dedicated mountain biking vests, it's become clear that I can never go back to a traditional backpack or hip pack unless absolutely necessary.

Ride Concepts was founded in 2018 and quickly gained recognition in the mountain bike shoe market, initially starting in Truckee, CA, then moving to Reno, NV.
