Finding the Love for Biking
"In some ways, it’s always been there, everyone had dirt bikes growing up. During high school I lived near a BMX track and started racing that- I’ve always found a way to be on two wheels. Every once in a while I’ve got an electric moto that still gets pulled out and ripped around on," says Robin.
Always a multi-tool, always a helmet

Essential Gear for the Road
When it comes to travel essentials, Robin keeps it simple but effective. "Always a multi-tool, always a helmet but more recently a kendama when headed for the airport. It’s a great toy to kill time with." Robin's favorite piece of Mons Royale gear? The Virage bike pants. "They're just the best," she says.
