Bernhard Plainer

I love riding bikes (road, time trial and triathlon) and the opportunity of exploring unknown areas and detecting hidden views. A satisfying ride should include some climbs. I don’t accept any compromise regarding material, especially when it comes to sports clothing. Always on the hunt for innovations and that perfect kit. It's more fun to ride with eyes wide open.
