Why Bud Baker?

Entry 2 - Why Bud Baker?

Bud felt he was up to the challenge as a suitable subject to review what he found out later to be the prototype bike for the bamboosero project. Well Bud has owned Kona’s, Diamondback’s, GT’s, Ellsworth’s, Santa Cruz’s, Kestral’s, Bianchi’s, and Fetishes. He owned bike’s made from aluminum, Steel, and Carbon composites. Bud‘s built and or rebuilt at least a dozen bikes. He raced, although more like participated, in about a dozen races either mountain or cyclocross as well. Bud enjoys road, mountain, cyclocross, and simply cruising at the beach. Although, you wouldn’t think there's much to mountain bike on in Virginia Beach, good trails exist an hour away in Williamsburg and he owns a cabin in Canaan Valley, WV. Mucho knarlyness there. Bud also teaches 3 spin classes a week and also trains regular on an Xbike mountain bike simulator. Bud also dabbles in writing and loves surfing big waves on the internets. Rest assured, Bud Baker can’t ride worth a piss, but he certainly rides in style and he rides often. Bud is also a massage therapist and has a kind heart with holistic intentions. He appreciates the mission and message Craig Calfee is trying to accomplish.
