WHO'S ON THE COVER? Clint, his wife, Ellie, and their six children (three are on the cover - Addison - 9, Colton 11, Caleb 11) love everything that cycling as a family has to offer, including the challenge of a steep hill and encouraging each other to push harder. But most of all, they like being outside together and feel bikes provide a super fun and rewarding way to do that.
