Meet The Family

Kieran moves professionally in the world of journalism and music. He joined the family over the summer and has somehow managed to put 500 miles on his Line 3 Bike! I enjoyed collaborating with him on his bike, aptly named “SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT.” The bike I designed for him reflects his zen-like personality and his passion for holistic living. Like me, Kieran believes that bike riding is a great way to stay fit, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

You may have seen this family member, Lauren Santiago riding through the streets of New York on her Line 3 bike named the “SAINT JAMES.” I feel like I see pics of her every day on her bike! A New York resident now, Lauren originally hails from California, and she has been zipping through the streets of NYC since 2012. When we connected to collaborate on her bike, her love for riding was crystal clear to me. Bike riding for Lauren addressed several things that were fundamentally important to maintaining balance in her life. It addressed her desire to be physically fit, have fun, and provide an outlet to expend a growing anxious energy because of the pandemic. Above everything else, she shares the same values as Line 3 Bikes. She believes “riding provides an immeasurable sense of community.” Lauren’s love of community transcends her dedicated “bike life.” This love shows up in her career, where she operates as a talented marketing professional. Lauren proudly works to create fruitful collaborations with community and brand partners to build and execute programming that helps young people become better creators, entrepreneurs, and storytellers.

Finally, my guy Adrian De Los Rios from Minnesota has been riding seriously for two years now. Like most family members, biking helps him with his mental and physical health. He joined the family in June 2020. Adrian has this kinetic energy that you can’t help but admire. His infectious excitement inspired me to create something that reflects where he is now and where he’s headed. Adrian trusted me completely during the design process from the collaboration to the finished piece. “EL GAUCHO,” his bike’s name, was inspired by my respect for what he stands for. I added the quote “rebel with a cause” because of his unwavering commitment to criminal and social justice issues.

From the beginning, my mission was to create a global biking family that was inspired by individualism while strengthening the shared values which connect us all. I am incredibly proud to say I think these three indeed personify and represent that mission. Join me as I again welcome these riders to our growing Line 3 Family. Thank you for “Riding With Us”.

As Always – stay focused, stay balanced.
