“With the difficulties of 2020 there is no shortage of content that seems to push the dark and difficult realities of today,” says Braydon Bringhurst. “For me, it started with Kobe Bryant’s death and has only seemed to get worse…” As a father of two, Bringhurst’s deepest desire is to provide opportunity for his daughters. Recognizing current issues, being mindful to never feed negativity, Bringhurst recognizes the unique opportunity to enjoy cycling in his life—at this extraordinary time in history. “I am so fortunate to have my bicycle to get out and ride,” says Bringhurst, “For my soul.” “The feeling of getting through an incredibly tough climb followed by the thrill and joy of the descent gives me hope,” says Bringhurst. With Solace, Bringhurst set out to create inspiration for others and showcase the beautiful world that riding a bike can take you. “Biking isn’t changing the world,” says Bringhurst, “But it is helping me to get through these difficult times and my hope is that it inspires others to do the same.”
