Did you know Kona Bikes has a storefront, the only one of its kind, in the cycling hub of Bellingham, Washington? Well, we didn’t. Since Kona recently celebrated their 30th birthday, we thought it would be fitting to stop in for quick visit to learn more about the store, the manager Matt, and how they’re getting involved with the local bikepacking community…
In today’s Rider and Rig, we chat with Ryan Santoski at Totem Cyclery, his small, service-oriented bike shop in Denver, and check out his dreamy Kona Rove commuter/light tourer.
