CHAD HLADKI - Why I ride for Will is because , plain and simple, he’d ride for me. I couldn’t count on all my fingers or toes the amount of things he added to my life. things I carry with me everyday. Anytime I see a mountain bike, I see the image of him riding ahead of me. Truth be told, I didn’t ride with Will as much as I should have because frankly I had no chance of ever keeping up with him, but he’d wait for you and encourage you to keep on going. I ride for Will because I miss my friend and I wish I could get smoked by him on a trail one more time.. or have one more jam, and listen to him rip the harmonica. Fortunately for me, I see Will not only on mountain bikes, but in music, baseball, budweisers, fishing poles, and having deep pockets .. I mean this very literally: his pockets were endless, mythical places that were always full of whatever was needed at that moment, without fail. Bottom line, I ride for Will because with out him my past would have been so much less rich. I ride for Will in the name of those memories, and our memory of him, arent held in vain.

AUSTIN HOLLINGSHEAD- Will Brady was my freshman year college roommate who went on to become one of my closest friends. Will was incredibly passionate about riding bikes, and he introduced so many people to this passion, including me. Will was tragically killed in an accident at 25 years old. Wills Wheels mission is to continue spreading the stoke and joy of cycling by providing bikes to kids who otherwise wouldn’t be able to enjoy them. Over the years, riding bikes has been incredibly fulfilling for me. it has led me to travel all over the country, meet fantastic people, and push my own limits in the most rewarding ways. That is why i ride for WIll.

TYLER CRANZ- Will and i shared a special bond revolving around adventure and more importantly what we could get away with. He was the type of guy to always have a plan B. He was the most intelligent person ive ever known. I had to scroll way to far down to find photos of him, it made me realize what I would give to have one more adventure with my best friend. The only way I can lay my head down at night is knowing he is doing what he loves up in heaven. I know he knows how much we all love him everyday,and that is why I ride for Will.

DAN CONNOLLY- This is my friend Will Brady. Before Will passed away tragically in an accident he taught me a great deal about how to enjoy life. One of the things he turned me on to was biking, and we ended up riding about 20 miles a day on a regular basis. These are some of the fondest memories I have, not only with Will, but in general. I’ve since made lasting memories and friendships through biking in both VT and NYC that will last me a life time. That is why I ride for Will.
