GeWilli

GeWilli is the nom de plume of Geoff Williams, a tall and usually bearded figure found at cyclocross races in New England dressed in dirty orange coveralls. A bike commuter first, mechanic, cyclocross racer, generally bikes bikes bikes food thought processes. Riding as transport since at least 1990, in Washington State, Michigan, Connecticut, and most recently Rhode Island. He is a critical [pain in the ass] mechanic (ask anyone in any shop he’s worked in), and his intolerance of dogma has led to a lifetime of experimentation to find out what really does work best on the bike. A former Planet Bike supercommuter, Geoff commutes by bike, year-round, every day, which is now just a short eight or so mile trip each way, and when he needs a day off? He spends it riding all day, often to Boston and back just for a cup of coffee. There is no question he has an opinion about everything, but if there’s a weakness to the gentle giant it is his willingness to help others and share information about anything related to bikes. You can find him hanging out on Google+ with the Bike Commuter Cabal gang or maybe on Twitter @Ge_Willi, at least when he’s not mixing up a new batch of chain lube or playing with his microscopes.
