Sweet!!! If you get the job maybe that means free bikes for life??? Good luck! I hope you get it!
We’ll see,
It means a move back home and “significant discounts” to Trek bikes (whatever that means). Their facility has 30km of cyclocross track built around it (can see it on their website) which is awesome.

Easy workout today. Bike ride and/or climbing gym tomorrow.
As more of a soft science guy, a lot of engineering jobs sound boring. But being an engineer for a bike company sounds like it could be pretty cool and fun. I knew of a guy who helped design skateboard wheels and he would just test them all out at skateparks.
Hope you get the position.
I’ll file this under “you don’t know what you’re missing” - ![]()
A bike company would be cool, but I currently really love my job that lets me crawl around on airplanes now and then. Biggest advantage is that it would my family back closer to other relatives and they offer a lot more paid time off.
Probably. As I jokingly said with my soft-science joke, I’m just very unfamiliar with the field.
