Conner Burns
Conner is a cyclist, artist, firefighter, writer ... quite varied. If you think his present activities are diverse, you should look at his past. The constant throughout his life has been the bike.

All surfaces are good; but his favorite street sign states - pavement ends.

wax on – wax off

slick and clean
Bike wash. How often do you wash? I know those that never wash and those that wash after every ride. I think both those extremes are, well … extreme.
I am in the camp!-->!-->!-->…
Non Cyclists?
Much to my surprise – they do exist.
I was at our local brewery eating some great pizza. I am not a ‘regular.' I comment to my significant other that I am surprised!-->!-->!-->…
