Sales-mech Bob Burdalski is possibly our only staffer to have ridden a double century; he's certainly the only one to have shaken Fidel Castro's hand! (as a sprout with the Philadelphia Boys Choir)

Mr. Burdalski is on his second SURLY Cross Check (he sold the first one after riding it from NYC to LA, via Canada and Mexico.)  "I hated LA and needed plane fare back home," confesses Bob, who has a degree in film and enjoys rando riding, bike touring, and camping.  Born in Pennsauken, New Jersey, Bob aspires to Piney citizenship.  He's a major force behind our special orders and bike stocking systems.

The late afternoon sun is glinting off a Baladeo Survival Card--it is made of stainless and does many things, Bob declares.
