This is Magnus. We call him the Gus Man but, more often, just Gus. He’s the dudey, and I’m the daddy. Gus woke up from a restless nap sometime during his 20th month, bent it toward the garage, and hopped on his little balance bike–that summer day he really did it for the first time: he rode all by himself. He’s been striding-riding for a few months now, and he’s so good at it. He even commutes to his sitter’s place, taking his stuff off-road along the half-mile commute, in the dark and rain. The dudey rides, and the daddy has to run! Kona needs to keep up, too. Let’s get a new model in the line-up. I’ve got a perfect product-tester in mind….
Kona shooter Joe Sales recently put together a beautiful and emotive collection of cyclocross photos for the Kona photo vault. They’re so nice we couldn’t keep them under wraps. Here’s a selection of some downhome, get-it-dirty shots from recent west coast cyclocross action.
