I love bikes. I love cities. I especially love what bikes can do for cities.
I’m committed to furthering the conversation about the ways bicycles can make our lives better, for passionate and thoughtful people who care about urban transportation and the future of city life.
Who I Am
I am an award-winning author, content creator and journalist who has been sharing my cycling story for years. I am the creator of the successful YouTube channel Shifter, and I wrote Frostbike: The Joy, Pain and Numbness of Winter Cycling, a bestselling exploration of getting around on two wheels throughout the year. I have written for publications such as the Los Angeles Times, Explore magazine and National Post, I have spoken about cycling at events around North America and Europe, and I am often in the media addressing issues related to cycling. I live with my family in Calgary, Canada.
Work with Me
I welcome partnerships with brands that have a passion for cycling, share my values and care about the amazing Shifter audience as much as I do. I’m always open to partnerships, collaborations and I love creative ideas. Drop me a line here.
A few things to keep in mind: Shifter isn’t a review channel. While gear is an important part of happy cycling and, I don’t make review videos. Shifter is as much about the destination as the journey. Cycling to me is much more than a racing sport. It touches every part of our lives, from recreation to transportation to community. Cycling to me is about cities, lifestyles, communities, transportation and health.
