Thinking
Thinking.
A place for the ideas I'm still working out, and the ones I've already committed to. Essays, case notes, talks, video, and the books and people that have shaped the way I think about the bike. Published when the thinking's done, not when the calendar says so.

Essays.
Long-form pieces. Written slowly. Nothing goes up until I've read it back six months later and still stand behind every paragraph.
More essays on the way. One in draft, two on the bench.

Long-form thinking, a few times a year. No newsletter treadmill, no marketing, just the pieces, when they're ready.

What's coming.
Honest about what's live versus what's coming. Each of the below populates as real work goes up.
Short de-identified write-ups.
Fit cases that taught me something worth writing down. Not success stories. The ones where I nearly got it wrong, or the ones that made me rewrite a piece of my own reasoning.
External appearances.
Podcast appearances, conference talks, and interviews. When there's something worth pointing at, it goes here.
Long-form YouTube, on the way.
A deliberate counter to the TikTok-style over-simplifications that have flooded the bike-fit conversation. Studio walk-throughs in proper depth, technical breakdowns that take their time, and long conversations with people worth thinking alongside. Still building the first runway.
04 · Reading list
What's shaped the thinking.
A slow-growing list of the books, papers, people, and ideas that have shaped the way I work. Sports biomechanics, motor learning, pain science, engineering, design, philosophy of practice; the sources are wider than the discipline often admits.
Each item gets a line on why it matters. Populating as I go.
