Specialized’s Turbo e-bike & 360 Bike Photography

Specialized Turbo e-Bike

e-Bikes have been around awhile but none really feel quite right, most are some abortion of a bike or a strapped on system on a geriatric looking machine that even my old Navy salt of a Grandpa wouldn’t be caught dead on. Specialized has defiantly changed the game when it comes to looks and functionality with [...]

The folks over at Bern Unlimited had me do a shoot for their new Souphorse helmet. Yes, I can shoot urban too, and I want more.
