Doug Ellis, a Santa Barbara-based photographer, had reached out with some questions about our bicycles and the gearing. After answering his questions, we got to chatting a bit about Santa Barbara, sharing stories, favorite spots, and maybe left some things unsaid from the UCSB days. Doug isn't just your regular photographer. He captures unique moments naturally and reflects a transformative authenticity and joy in his subjects. He works with conscious businesses and lifestyle clients, but has also shot luminaries such as the Dalai Lama and Marianne Williamson, and offers his time to a variety of cause-driven organizations. We have seen our bicycles hundreds of times, but seeing them through the eyes of Doug, and hearing where he rides and why he rides, it's like it's the first time.
