Warrington, England to Glasgow, Scotland transplant and ultra nice guy Dan Banks isn't particular about what weather he rides in, but he sure is particular about his bike setup. Metal pegs or nothing! Peep his latest Wethepeople build below and look out in a couple weeks for a little project we got cooking with him.

Oldest part: Probably the cranks.

Newest part: The frame.

Describe your bike setup. A responsive grind machine that can still get loose in the air haha.

How long do you usually have a bike for? I'd say a year. Normally by then it's battered and bruised and needs some tlc.

Why metal pegs? They sound sick! But most importantly they 'grind' not 'slide' ;) It's like the SD HD debate. Both are great but there's just summat about metal pegs.

What ratio of dry to wet days do you think you bike goes out in? Because of the weather here it's mainly damp days. Hoping on summer to turn the ratio back round haha.

Top self-isolation tip? Stay safe if your out riding but if you can't get out then grad a pen and paper and get creative. It's good to keep that brain creative on and off the bike.
