2013 marks Bike's 20th year of running around with scissors and our big anniversary has us thinking about the stories we want to share with our readers--stories about the brands and people that changed mountain biking.
Ibis Cycles was the logical place to start.
Few companies have a legacy equal to that of Ibis—a company that has weathered countless storms and trends over the course of its 32 years in business. Along the way, Ibis has also created some of the sport's most iconic bikes and products.
How did they do it? Or more exactly, how did he do it? Scot Nicol, a.k.a. "Chuck Ibis" is Ibis' founder and leading light. Nicol has been instrumental in taking this small, NorCal company and making it an internationally-revered brand. We recently put Nicol on a stage and gave him the limelight to tell us his and Ibis' story.
