SIMON&JOE
Simon Stewart’s love for all things on wheels took him from a career as a race technician and dealership service manager for Harley Davidson, to bicycle shops in Medora, North Dakota, and Fruita, Colorado, a lengthy stint as a mountain bike guide for Western Spirit Cycling, a tour of duty in the technical marketing department at SRAM, and a continuing position as a product tester for Bike magazine.
Joe Parkin’s bicycling career began on the road in the late 1980s. The NorCal resident packed up and moved to Belgium, turned pro, and didn’t come back to the States until he’d properly mastered European cycling culture. Back stateside, Parkin turned from the road to the dirt, and then to the pages of his books “A Dog in a Hat” and “Come & Gone” and then to a few years in the Editor’s seat at Bike and Paved magazines.
