eight; Daniel, GT Avalanche Mountain Bike


His Austrian accent cellophane wraps his words with mad scientist importance as he explains he is working on a fellowship doing postgraduate research in Material Science; a huge title for a very small thing.
“I study structures smaller than the air you breath. You understand that your bike can support you, but as particles shrink they do not remain proportionally sound. Often they become far stronger ”
Going smaller always seemed right for him in science and in life.
Berkeley, to him, is a structure that works because it’s small; small enough for a bike, small enough for a community.
