World Bicycle Day Freedom
On World Bicycle Day, we celebrate global freedom on two wheels. Every pedal stroke reduces our footprint, connects communities, and opens up the hidden corners of the world.

Movement and human propulsion are written into our DNA—when you use it, you naturally build happiness and strength. Let’s keep moving the world forward, one ride at a time. What does freedom on two wheels look like to you today?

Bentonville Mixed Surface Freedom
Riding Rule of Three style mixed terrain in Bentonville on a borrowed gravel bike from Anthony. Looking down at the interstate rat race from the singletrack puts everything into perspective. We were feeling the pure freedom of two wheels under human power. Movement and human propulsion are written into our DNA—when you use it, you naturally build happiness and strength.

Woolmarket Duathlon: Race or Rebuild?
Should I jump straight into the duathlon next weekend or lock in a solid block of targeted preparation first? Dusting off my Specialized Shiv was an eye-opener—riding for mental fitness is one thing, but race-pace ex*****on hits different. The competitive drive never leaves, but balancing a demanding work week against athletes tracking peak volume is a real factor. Do we let it fly to establish a baseline, or take time to rebuild the engine first? Drop your advice below.

Back on the Grind
​Off the bike and dialing in the hustle. Balancing the reality of making a money and doing what what the soul actually craves—cycling culture—isn't always easy, but the grind doesn't stop.
I Dropped by the new Tri Hard Sports Biloxi location today. The space has come a long way from the old warehouse days. It was great catching up with Steve and Alana, and meeting the new manager.
​If you're in the area, stop by and say hello to the crew. The shop looks great and has a really good vibe ? I'll be popping in and out between work blocks.

The Soul of Sicily: A Cycling Experience Beyond the Hype
Forget the mass-marketed brochures and the crowded, cookie-cutter "bicycle-themed" tours. This is Sicily as it was meant to be seen—from the saddle, moving from the salt-air of the Mediterranean coast into the rugged, heartwarming mountain communities that time nearly forgot.

Bart Luther has already done the reconnaissance. He’s climbed the hidden switchbacks, sat at the local tables, and built relationships with the restaurant owners and innkeepers who define true Sicilian hospitality. This isn't just a trip; it’s an invitation into a cycling culture that exists without the noise of touristic hype.

Why This Is Different:
Unmapped Routes: Experience the transition from coastal beauty to high-altitude historic cities like Torcelli—places you won't find in the big-box publications.

Deep Cultural Immersion: This is about more than miles; it’s about the local architecture, 2,500 years of history, and the culinary soul of the island.

Elite, Low-Impact Support: Professional guiding and "invisible" technical support that lets you focus entirely on the ride and the connection with your surroundings.

Limited & Local: We are currently booking for the 2026-2027 season. Spots are strictly limited to maintain the authenticity of the experience.

Gather your closest cycling buddies for an adventure that will actually change your perspective. Experience Sicily with a guide who knows where the real magic is hidden—before he decides to keep it all for himself.

Northern Sicily: The Soul of Cycling Expedition |

I’ve spent my time getting lost so you don’t have to. After navigating the raw, unmapped heart of Northern Sicily, I’m back in Mississippi with one mission: taking you to the places the cookie-cutter tours can’t find. This isn't a "bicycle tour." It’s a deep dive into soul-filling terrain, local culinary secrets, and a culture that only reveals itself when you leave the pavement behind. I have found the way through the gorgeous, grueling terrain of Sicily, and I am opening up limited spots for a small group of friends to join me for the experience of a lifetime. The energy is real, rare, and it won't be shared often. Once I hit the globe again, the window closes. Book your spot now, or wait for an opening that may never come.
