Over the past few months, we’ve been seeing bits and pieces from the Freed Bikes crew between their team trips, riders and products. The team is one thing that’s been catching my eye from the start since it’s a lot of guys I’ve personally never really heard much about or know much about. But that’s one of the best parts about doing this site, I have the chance to get to know and introduce these guys to you. We came across a couple photos of Corey’s bike recently, so we figured it would be a good chance to catch up with him to find out what he’s riding and a little bit about himself. Take a look!
