This is Christopher. He sometimes takes photos for TheCommonElite. He is great, as evidenced by this self portrait with his beloved bicycle.

Maybe you’ve seen him around the city on his beautiful cream coloured Surly Steamroller. He’s that guy with the wood handlebar (by Fluorescent Brown) and that massive over sized leather messenger (only half pictured here, by Javier Stern).

I can’t wait to see the people/bikes he manages to catch this spring/summer. The rainy days we’ve had have only heightened my anticipation for the shorts weather just around the corner.

These are the shorts I’ve actually been dreaming of… knit wool shorts over other shorts you say?? yes.. that is what I want.

Double layer shorts available here
