Geoff and his family earlier this year moved to a place closer to our store location. One of his many commitments to the store and himself, he chose to reduce his carbon footprint by riding to work. It is not a far ride, but if you think about going to and coming from work 10 times (5 days) a week, it does add up. Geoff, along with a few others, has made an effort to either walk or ride to work. This has defiantly helped our monthly commute tracking.
Geoff is one of our leaders in our store. He has been one of the first each time to help out in the community. He has assisted on many events with The City of Raleigh’s Park & Recreation such as NeighborWoods , where we plant trees back in the city. In some of the events, he has asked to take out and try the Angstrom 30 pack. He has been willing to try anything!
Geoff has used the Angstrom 30 pack several times. Such as NeigborWoods and National Trails Day. He has found it easy to use and very comfortable. It has been able to carry anything he has needed for with plenty of room. He thought it might be a good idea to try it as a commuter bag. He had talked to Chris about his uses with his bag of choice while he commuted with one from when he worked at TNF Georgetown. Chris had used it while he took the metro and walked across the Potomac River on the Key Bridge. Chris has been known to carry a lot with him since he is an avid photographer and like to have the right lens for whatever he might want to photograph when he is out and about. Geoff thought he might try it out for his bike rides to work. Geoff is good about bringing his lunch everyday and also has a sweet tooth. It is common that you will find Geoff with a variety of candy or special homemade treat with him. He shares with all to help keep the team energized! We think that Air Heads might be his favorite!
Geoff took on the challenge to ride with the Angstrom with him to work. He was in the market for a new pack, would this be the one? He did find the pack to fit well and with the waist strap, it did make the ride more comfortable. He liked the pack and found it to fit everything he would need.
As it turned out, Geoff did not end up purchasing this pack, but would use it if he had one. He ended up choosing one of our flyweight packs. He liked how he could make it more compact. Maybe in his winter riding, he will get the Angstrom for more weather protection! We shall see . . .
