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. Once he learned to ride a bike he never stopped. All varieties of bikes, all kinds of racing and all types of terrain. Currently he just rides when he can for as long as possible. All surfaces are good; but his favorite street sign states - pavement ends.
