Hi, I’m Nando, Environmental Graphic Designer by trade, Puerto Rican by birth, based in Austin, Texas, and a cyclist by choice for as long as I can remember.

I started Chronic Cycling wanting to celebrate the inclusiveness of cycling. I like all things bicycle a lot; and I like the people in the cycling community. No matter where I’ve been, the people I’ve met in cycling come from all walks of life, age, socio-economic backgrounds, political or religious beliefs, etc.. And yet, when we’re together, we have this one thing in common that is stronger than our differences. I believe under cycling we come a little closer, and I think that’s pretty powerful.

With Chronic Cycling I aim to offer affordable custom cycling apparel as well as original designs you can wear all the time, not just to a ride. We offer full racing kits as well as an alternative to non-competitive cyclists who just want to wear some casual, wicking, bicycling-themed clothing.

Why “Chronic Cycling”? Well, you know how people look at you when you tell them your riding stories? You probably have someone that thinks you are an addict (maybe yourself?), that you have a cycling problem, a cycling condition? Well, You and I know it’s not really a problem; but if it somehow is a problem in your life, follow this easy, two-step cycling anonymous program:

1. Admit you have a problem.
2. Embrace it and go ride.
