 Who is

We had the fortune of catching up with TJ Eisenhart for a bit on Friday before the Belgian Waffle Ride in Cedar City, Utah. We'll have more of that conversation as we dive into Who IS TJ. Until then and in short, TJ is:
- a cyclist
- an artist 
- and an all around purveyor of positivity  
Also in possession of a new Santa Cruz Stigmata, laced out to his liking and that's what we'll be looking at today.

TJ's objective of this bike to have a 2 wheeled extension of himself. Ultimately he wants to simply enjoy riding and to make sure anyone in his charismatic orbit is doing the same.

ALMSTHRE bike bags, GET LOST!

We believe in getting lost, because sometimes we need to lose your way to find ourselves. We believe life is more rich around the corner, crossingover to where possibilities, opportunities and adventure await like treasure chests, new lovers and enlightenment. We believe in taking risks, straying, playing and escaping. We’re in love with everything that breaks the grip of caution on our getting up and leaving for a BIGGER day.
