  I've been a writer and a rider for decades. From touring the US on a professional BMX stunt team to mountain biking in the British Virgin Islands, Spain, Costa Rica and Australia, bikes have brought me to many places and provided many excellent experiences. I worked full time in the bike industry for many years, and while my career path has gone in a different direction (full time emergency medicine physician assistant and educator), I haven't been able to leave the bike industry completely. I still ride competitively (mountain bikes, cyclocross and BMX flatland), and write and shoot as often as I can, typically on my Web site at http://www.davealden.com/.
