Tad enjoys the simple things in life: food, booze, sex, and seshing wicked berms on a singlespeed. Watching a good movie with a good friend and a good beer definitely falls in that category for him. To Tad pluralizing the first three nouns in that last sentence cubes its awesomeness, so, he says, “helping Filmed by Bike happen is gonna give me the Malt Liquor Crazy Eye.”

Tad does not come to the jury lightly:
North American Cycle Courier Champion, 2002; 2003
West Side Invite, 1st place polo tournament; 2004
Organ Donor Invitational Tallbike jousting tournament, 2nd place; 2005
West Side Invite, 1st place main race, 2006;
Elizabeth told me I made really awesome deviled eggs, and she would know, May 2008;
Portland State University President’s list, fall 2008
(we could go on, but surely you get the point.)

ANDY MEEKS | Rack Hack Extrordinaire, TCB Racks

Biking the Underground Railroad, RUBARB

Andy recently threw caution to the wind, left a good job, family, friends and a life in Boston to move to Portland. Andy doesn’t yet have a job, but he’s been dubbed “The happiest Portland transplant I’ve ever met.” by the person who nominated him for our jury. Andy describes Portland as “a special place defined by its small nuances and finer details. Much like an outstanding movie.”
