I met Calvin Jones from ParkTool today!

He is such a chill dude! Can you believe HE wanted MY autograph? I wish I could have thought of more things to ask him about. I'm still a noob at bike mechanics, and a slow learner, but he was so encouraging and kind, and a lot of fun!
He really is a mechanical hero!
(Sorry for the watermark, I recycled my upload on Mastodon.)
He has an autograph routine. He draws around a pedal spanner then puts his message inside.
Also, I asked if he can write my name too, please. And so he literally wrote "[my name], please!"
He's just great! I'm so glad I got to meet him.
You've joined an exclusive club! He's such a legend.
This is so cool. My bike tinkering started with one of his videos when I broke a 80s Peugeot crank axel. Such a positive presence for bikes as a whole. Cool post thanks
