Hello!
I’m Jacob Rathe, founder of RAD.
Drawn to the Bike
I had an unexplainable draw to the bicycle at a young age. The rush I felt racing around the backyard as a child was the beginning of a long partnership with two wheels. I started competing with vigor at age 13. I raced everything that was available in Portland, Oregon: road, track, cyclocross, and mountain biking. I earned national championship medals in three disciplines by age 16, before I specialized in road racing. From then, cycling was a magical ride that took me to countless countries and several continents. My career was characterized by a few moments of success and periods of setback.
