When Walton Brush overtakes you on a bike, the first thing you'll notice are the glasses, the second is the lack of perspiration. It is almost unnatural the calm he exudes on the road, choosing a line and keeping it, maintaining cadence and never looking back.
Working on bikes, and living to ride, Walton has been known to ride close to a century before clocking in to wrench at MASH Transit, for whom he is also a team rider. His discipline has led to a stream of wins in the last few years. 'The Walt', as he is known, also took a third-place finish at the Red Hook Criterium in Brooklyn this year, as well as earning his Cat 2 road licence in recent weeks. He scored a podium finish at the SSCX, excels on the dirt, but has continued to find success on the track and road, too. Barely into his twenties, this transient resident of San Francisco is a versatile young rider and something of an enigma. And if you ride in northern California and the Pacific Northwest, you may just run into him.

Name – Chris Scuglia [Skool-e-yuh]
Occupation – Frame Builder/Fabricator at Cielo Cycles.
How did you come to the cycling lifestyle? – I grew up in Albuquerque, had done some mountain biking and enjoyed riding along the Rio Grande but when I moved to San Francisco in 1994 the bug really took me. I moved without any idea of work and within my first week I had landed a job as a bike messenger and also as a bar back at the Cafe Du Nord. Being in that messenger lifestyle it's hard not to get hooked on bikes. Your bike becomes a very important part of your life. Bikes have remained a large part of my existence, for my career and recreation.

Does cycling tie all your interests together? – Cycling is sport, transportation, and social time, all in one – so, yes.
Describe your bike – This is my around-town ride, a Lemond Etape from the last year (I am only 97% sure this is true) that they were manufactured as Lemonds.

Name:
Corinna Gardner
Role at V&A:
Curator of Contemporary Product Design
I'm standing in the John Madejski Garden in front of what was once the main entrance to the V&A Museum. Opened to the public in 1865, the doors, just seen in the background, show historic figures representative of the arts and sciences, including Astronomy (Newton), Mechanics (Watt), Sculpture (Michelangelo) and Painting (Titian). The doors represent the then ambition of the museum to unite the arts and sciences and they, alongside the extensive facade decoration, proclaim the museum's commitment to cultural education through the visual arts.
