Clay Shafer

How did you get started? I rode street BMX as a kid and learned how hard concrete was. In college, I rode a fixed gear and started really getting into cycling. While working at a shop, a good co-worker and friend got me into mountain biking while working there, and it's been a mix of mountain and road cycling since.

Most memorable experience on a bike?  Riding on Orcas Island up and down Mount Constitution. A friend from the desert came up to visit me while I was up there. He and I went riding during a downpour. Two kids from the desert riding a downhill trail on trail bikes. It was simoultaneously my most fun, frightening, and memorable ride on two wheels.

Greatest Accomplishment on a bike My greatest personal accomplishment on a bike was beating a really fast and good friend of mine during a race. On all of our local trails, he was leaps and bounds faster than me. We went up to Big Bear for the Team Big Bear So Cal Enduro series and I placed 10th while he placed 11th. Bragging rights!

What's the last thing you learned relating to bikes? I would say that I re-learned how enjoyable working with bikes is and that there is a great deal of genuine people working in this industry. Being able to go to expos and demo events again, it's been awesome reconnecting with people.

What do you love to talk about relating to bikes? I really enjoy talking about suspension and bike geometry. With all the changes in geo lately, it's amazing to see how capable mountain bikes have become. I also enjoy talking E-bikes as there has been so much development in this category. E-bikes have come a long way and still have quite a bit of room for growth. It will be interesting to see how E-Bikes will continue to evolve over the next 10 years.
