Ryan Thibault – Mountain Bike Vermont / Ranch Camp / Trails and Bike Parks #138
Taken from MTB Vermont on Ryan
Position: Graphic artist, writer, photographer
Fame: Owner of Independent Allied, a design firm specializing in biking & beer… go figure.
Spray: Ryan lives, breathes and eats bikes. He also eats dirt and crow. If he’s not flying down mountains on his bike he’s either changing yet another flat tire or rustling alpacas.
