Gil Lavi’s story blends design, resilience, and cycling into a creative journey rooted in New York City. As cofounder of RUBBER N’ ROAD, he uses the bike to channel focus, manage setbacks, and honor a connection to his heritage. For Gil, cycling is never just movement. It is craft, competition, and community. This episode reminds us that riding with purpose makes every pedal stroke mean more.

Those of you who know me, have ridden with me or follow me know I've got a rather tasty 3T Exploro Racemax.
