While I’ve been enamored of their aqua blue and black kits for some time–and am convinced that single folks seeking athletic eye candy of either gender should start accompanying their day-long rides–the thing that has me most excited about Mission Cycles this week is the club’s redesigned website. Web app developer Onehouse created the new hub’s rider profiles, which include preferred frames and self-described secret powers, along with ride reports that will integrate Strava’s geographic data tracking. A feature that enables members to congratulate each other with virtual jerseys is a nice addition to the MC Riders Twitter list (coffee and pizza are frequent topics) and a “webstore thingy” that is to be stocked with signature color wares this spring.
As they say,
Mission Cycling is a neighborhood-based cycling club that aims to bring people together through the shared experience of cycling. That sounds so official, doesn’t it? We’re just trying to build a sense of community among our riders and sponsors. I mean, we’re already riding our bikes and frequenting these businesses, so why not bring the two groups together?
After all, it’s not every local adult extracurricular that gets the backing of Self Edge, Ritual, Bespoke, and other establishments of note (and with good reason).
