We interviewed San Diego County local, Michael J. Macare on his evolution as a gravel rider and how the gravel scene is taking shape in Spinergy's backyard...

A couple years ago, a near miss in a traffic incident changed Michael Macare’s outlook on riding bikes exclusively on roads.  After getting cut off while cycling, he was nearly hit by a car, only seconds later to then be nearly hit by the vehicles that maneuvered to avoid collision with that car. The scene was one of mass chaos where the motorists unleashed their aggression on Michael as he attempted to collect himself amid blaring honks, birds being flipped in each direction, and demands that he get off the road. Turns out he did get “off the road” and discovered something more versatile and less dangerous.
