Grønlies Bike

I ride a Norwegian made DBS Street Track Alivio, just like Forshufvud, I bought it of the streets :-) or Finn.no, from a man named Peder. The bike roles like a dream. This green almost glows in the dark. 21 gears, 53" frame, 28" wheels. Im ready like Rock Steady and Bee Bop!

Scotts bike

Scott rides a bike actually designed for what we plan to do. It is a Surely Long Haul Trucker. This puppy has it all. Lots of gears, clipidoodles, TWO BOTTLE HOLDERS, cool gear flippers....the whole 9. The scandinavians are as green as this bike with envy.

Forhufvuds bike

Forshufvud rides a fine piece of Norwegian engineering. Namely a DBS Street Track Alivio.
She has 21 Speeds and 28" wheels. Kris Grønlie found the bike for sale by some shmuck on the internet and forshufvud bought it for 3000 swedish moneys. Sweet.

Kristoffer Bengt Gabriel Forshufvud

Like the Norwegian Kristoffer, the Swedish Kristoffer (aka "Forshufvud" or "Gabriel" or "Curly" or "Blondie" or "Forshy" or "Goldie lox") doesnt want to write his own bio thingy. So I'll just write some factoids about him.
Forshufvud is from just outside Gøteborg in Sweden.
He was raised by wolves but then he ran away from home.
He went to highschool on a boat that sailed around the world. He had to make coffee for the skipper "8cm kaffe, 1 cm melk" and saw french legionaires do one-arm-pullups which changed his life. He said it was fun.

He is more of a maratime man so the transition to such a terrestrial form of travel for him is a big step.
He has a severe bird phobia. Even the smallest, cutest and harmless of birds scare him.
He showers for an hour at a time when he gets the chance.
He only eats happy organisms.
He Studies in Sweden.
Scott Norris is his nemesis.
He says "carpe diem" at least once in every conversation.
He talks about his emotions 90% of the time.
He bikes for science.

A shorter bio...not an autobiography

This is written by John Ruffino

Kristoffer Gronlie was born and raised in Northern Virginia . A son of Norwegian emigrants and world travelers. A true international man of mystery, he has lived in many unique places, including Egypt, France, the United states and Norway during his lifetime. He split his years between his motherland and the Northern Virginia up until his graduation from high school.

Upon graduating from George Mason High School, Kristoffer left behind his gray volvo station wagon and moved to Paris, where he studied International Affairs at the American University of Paris. The fruit of his labors fermented into a fine wine and after his graduation in 2008, he left Paris to live in the family flat in Oslo (a family rite of passage).

Kristoffer rides in honor of: his older brother, Sverre Gronlie, who recently past away, his friends Helge & Helga, who will be getting married in the fall, and his sisters unborn daughter.
