About

Carl Ditkoff, CSCS
I am a bike junky. I have an incurable addiction to bicycle information, parts, pieces, and pictures. My wife and kids are unwilling to go anywhere near bike shops with me because they don't want to get stuck waiting around for an hour while I talk to people.

I've done a bunch of stuff to feed my addiction...
-Fitting cyclists on their bikes for 5 years (charging for 3 years)
-Retul Univerisy
-Slowtwitch FIST Certified
-SICI Certified (Serotta International Cycling Institute)
-One of the first five owners of the Retul 3D motion capture system
-NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
-USA Cycling Level 2 Coach
-Design bicycles for Spooky Bikes
-Official Fitter of the Wheelhouse/NCC Elite Racing Team

I have also been to Interbike enough times that I now have to bring my wife. Mostly though, I just read and talk about bike stuff. Scientific journals, magazines, websites, catalogs, forums, bike shops, anything I can find. And because all that still isn't enough, I teamed up with Mickey Denoncourt to manufacture bikes under the Spooky name.

Frances Morrison
Frances was born a Bicycle Ninja, though she did not know it at the time. She has worked in bike shops since they let her behind the register so she knows the ins and outs of the industry pretty well. When she’s not out gutting her enemies with a sharpened chainring Frances races elite road and cyclocross with some mountain thrown into the mix. Frances is also a cross ninja. Even though she just started this year Frances went from cat 4 to cat 2 in one season, taking double wins at both the Verge Series Downeast Festival of Cyclocross and Cycle-Smart International as a cat 3. Frances also plans to kill it in the upcoming road season this year in the elite field.  Off the bike, Frances is best known for her serial blog, The Crotch Chronicles where she gets into the most difficult aspect of cycling to talk about...
