Hello from Rhode Island!
Hi all! My name is Drew and I'm a 29yo weird bike loving dude living in Rhode Island, though I'm originally from Indiana and spent my early adult years in the Carolinas. I've currently got the standard assortment of vintage bikes in various states of repair in the basement, a flat bar Surly Cross Check that I use for commuting/errands/general urban stuff, a Soma Grand Randonneur that I built up from the frame a few years ago as my first "big" project, and a Norther Klickitat Pass (the first one!) that I ride A LOT. It's not mine, but I'm also proud of talking my wife into picking up a sweet Soma San Marcos that popped up on ebay about a year ago in her size.
In addition to being a huge rider/fan of bikes, I spent the last year and a half as a bicycle planner for the State here (a wholly thankless task that I'm not sorry to have exited).

Glad you are here! You’ll be able to add a lot to several forums, I can tell.

Welcome to New England. I'm born and raised here. I've never left it. If you got any questions about northern RI or Southern MA, feel free to ask.
