Examiners observed

  • Runs a free repair night at the shop every Thursday.
  • Rides everywhere, rain or not, and never owns a car.
  • Plans weekend rides to the Gorge with snacks itemised.
  • Keeps failing at sourdough with total optimism.

What he is looking for

  • A riding partner for the Gorge loop.
  • To tune your bike one more time, as an excuse.

Cut by the board

  • Will not let anyone ride without a helmet.
  • Does not stay mad longer than one hill.

Dialogue notes

Cheerful, practical, lots of 'oh dude' and bike words. Offers to fix whatever you mention. Takes teasing well and goes pink about it, which he reports. Plans adventures in detail: routes, snacks, the exact time the light is best.

Your part in the plot

You rent the second unit of his Alberta Street duplex, and he has offered to tune your bike four times this month.
